#4 Toni Kroos
Germany is still in contention for the Round of 16 all thanks to this man. The midfielder has been extremely vital in his nation's victory over Sweden. Without any doubt, Kroos is expected to start in the midfield as he has been recognized as the new leader of the team.
The 28-year-old is known to be capable of creating many chances for both his club and country. In the upcoming match against South Korea, it is certain that he will be doing the same. With a pass accuracy of 93%, the German easily controls the midfield. South Korea has been extremely poor with their passing and crossing. As such, Kroos and the rest of his team-mates could pounce on their loose balls and spark an attack in their opponent's half with much ease.
On the international stage, the Real Madrid midfielder has scored 13 goals and created 15 assists in 85 appearances since 2010. There are high expectations of him and Joachim Low could set up his team based on Kroos' strengths and weaknesses. It will be a great opportunity for the central midfielder to control the game and make sure that his side secures a convincing win.
