Key storylines, players to watch closely
Well, first off: Neymar. One of Brazil's all-time heroes is missing a World Cup from his resume and rightly or wrongly, that's a marker as to whether the player will be considered one of the best Brazilians to ever do it. When healthy he's among the five best attackers in the world. But how healthy is he? And how much can Richarlison, Vinicius Jr. and company take pressure off the oft-fouled Neymar?
South Korea will have hope that Heung-min Son's slow tournament is on the upswing after the Tottenham star played well late in delivering the win over Portugal to seal a group stage place. Look out for 26-year-old Napoli center back Min-jae Kim, whose name is dancing through the Premier League transfer rumor mill with renewed vigor following strong performances in Qatar.
