Players to Watch

Christian Pulisic (USA)

Christian Pulisic is back in action for the US National Soccer team. He missed out on the Gold Cup, but is now back in training and is going to play a crucial part in the final third for the hosts. The AC Milan star has not been in the best form, but he is still going to cause trouble for the opponent’s defence.

Son Heung-min (South Korea)

Son Heung-min is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence. He has recently parted ways with Tottenham and joined forces with MLS side LAFC. Son is in good form at the club level and will be looking to display the same here for the Korea Republic.
