Kaoru Mitoma
This Japanese winger is known for his blazing speed and fancy footwork that makes defenders look silly—he's the kind of player who can turn a boring game exciting in seconds. At this World Cup, he's Japan's main offensive threat and their best chance at pulling off an upset against bigger teams because his pace is nearly impossible to defend one-on-one. If you watch him play, keep your eyes on how he uses his left foot to cut inside from the right wing and create chaos in the penalty area, or how he just outruns people down the sideline like they're standing still. He's basically Japan's wildcard in their quest to make a deep World Cup run.
