    Nicolas Lodeiro may have just blew his World Cup breakout. I'm still looking at some interesting players off of the radar like Keisuke Honda just to put a name out.

    Not so young, but Gignac seemed pretty lively when he came no yesterday. Can't wait to see Serbia play.

    Yeah, a goal has given him a great start to his first World Cup. He also worked really hard switching from side to side in the midfield. Now I'm looking at Alexis Sanchez to make an impact for Chile. Do you have a lesser known player that could make an impact this tournament, Agoo?

    I've been soccer deprived of late, so my best knowledge comes from CONCACAF and the legends of football manager. If Maurice Edu gets regular time, I think he could impress as he should have gotten the winner today against Slovenia.

    The guy I'd probably go with most though is Anthony Annan. I'm guessing he wasn't included in the posted article because Essien's status wasn't known yet. He's moving into that role and did well in the opener. I'm hoping to see a good show from him tomorrow.
