Harry Souttar and his Australia are through to the knock out’s of the World Cup. Souttar (27) has captained his side in the tournament and has a very important presence. The Socceroos ended second in their group with 4 points from 3 matches. Defeating Turkey 2-0, a 0-0 draw vs. Paraguay and a 0-2 defeat vs. USA, made it happen.
Yunus Akgun and Caglar Soyuncu were both in the Turkey squad for the tournament, but it all ended in a difficult situation. Soyuncu and Akgun was not regulars in the team, but both played. Their 3-2 win vs. USA made the highlight but those 3 points was what they got, with defeats vs. Australia and Paraguay they got an early exit.
England and Croatia are also through from this group. Harry Kane playing his part for England, Andrej Kramaric being a squad player for his nation. England will face Kongo, Croatia to take on Portugal.
New Zealand, with their captain Chris Wood, never managed to influence this tournament much. Strangely Chris Wood never got on the scoresheet, with his nation only picking up one point in the draw vs. Iran.
Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu will be playing their part when Ghana take on Columbia in the knock out stages. Ending third in their group, picking up 4 points from their 3 games. A strong 0-0 draw vs. England really stands out. Ayew is their captain, Fatawu also involved, mostly coming on from the bench.
Abdul Fatawu remains on the bench for Ghana despite impact off bench vs Panama.
