Cody Gakpo has been a goal-scoring machine for the Dutch and is second in goals behind France’s Kylian Mbappe. Goalkeeper Andries Noppert has only allowed two goals in the entire tournament.
Lionel Messi is obviously the one the Netherlands has to keep an eye on. He also has three goals in the tournament. Julian Alvarez has put two in the back of the net for Argentina as well.
Croatia needed clutch goals to get into the quarterfinals. Andrej Kramaric has two goals to his credit so far in the tournament. Luka Modric is still looking for his first but don’t sleep on him in clutch time.
Brazil looked like the favorite in their match against South Korea and are sure to try and put on a showcase against Croatia. Just when you think you have Neymar stopped, Richarlison can strike. If you have both of them stopped, there’s Vinicius Junior to stop. Oh, and good luck getting one past Alisson.
