Guillermo Ochoa | Mexico, 28: After keeping a cleansheet against Cameroon, Ochoa was more than impressive against hosts Brazil, pulling off some incredible saves and ensuring they get a famous 0-0 result. Ochoa is the only keeper having played two games and not conceded a goal yet.

吉列尔莫·奥乔亚（Guillermo Ochoa 墨西哥 28岁）：在与喀麦隆的较量中一球未失。在之后与东道主巴西的对决中，更是让人印象深刻。他完成了几次完美扑救，保证了与东道主0：0的平局，这来之不易。奥乔亚是唯一在两场比赛中从未失球的门将。

Rafael Marquez | Mexico, 35: As he did against Cameroon, Rafael Marquez was the last line of defence for the Mexicans against Brazil as well. In both games he kept things organised and led from the back in a three man defensive set-up. His role was crucial as he proved to be the final cover to keeper Ochoa.

拉法埃尔·马科斯（Rafael Marquez 墨西哥 35岁）：在与喀麦隆和巴西的对决中，马科斯是最后一道防御线。在两场比赛中，他组织得力，在防守三人组中起了很好的领导作用。马科斯的角色十分关键，因为事实证明，对门将奥乔亚来说，他是最后一道屏障。

Gary Medel | Chile, 26: He had an easier task in hand against Australia, but it was a more difficult opposition in Spain. Both games he played a fantastic role in transferring his abilities as a defensive midfielder to central defence. The same ability to break up play and get stuck in to tackles applied as Chile booked their place in the next round.

加里·梅德尔（Gary Medel 智利 26岁）：对阵澳大利亚的轻松和遭遇西班牙的艰难，让他经历了冰火两重天。不过，他出色地完成了从防守型中场到中卫的角色转变。破坏进攻，阻截铲球的战术，将会在智利下一轮比赛中保持稳定。

Cristian Gamboa | Costa Rica, 24: Another three man defensive system proved to be successful at the World Cup with full-backs playing the important role. Gamboa & Diaz mirrored each others’ contribution but what made their performance interesting in a 5 man defence is their defensive work rate as opposed to attacking.

克里斯蒂安·甘博亚（Cristian Gamboa 哥斯达黎加 24岁 ）：世界杯中另一支有名的三后卫防守诞生了，哥斯达黎加的3后卫功不可没。甘博亚与迪亚斯的组合如双生子般默契。另外，他们的防守率比进攻更高，这让5位后防表现得更加精彩。

James Rodriguez | Colombia, 22: The Colombian has been the stand-out performer for an impressive side that has booked it’s place in the next round.

He was at #3 in our list of 25 Young Players to Watch at the World Cup.

Andre Ayew | Ghana, 24: Playing on the left side of attack, Ayew has been important in ensuring Ghana’s main attacking approach, down the flanks, is successful. He got on the scoresheet against the US with quick work with Gyan, while scoring with his head in an impressive draw with Germany

Arjen Robben | Netherlands, 30: He followed up an incredible two goal performance against Spain with another goal against Australia as the Dutch impress on their way into the quarter finals.

阿尔杰·罗本（Arjen Robben 荷兰 30岁）：荷兰世界杯小组赛与西班牙的对决中，罗本独中两元。之后又有一次攻破澳大利亚。虽然罗本并未司职他最擅长的边锋，但他在一个更中心的位置上表现得游刃有余。

Robin Van Persie | Netherlands, 30: Robben’s partner in crime, Van Persie, has also found the back of the net on three occasions. A beautiful header, a reward for pressing and composed finish are the three goals the Dutch captain can boast of leading the line for Van Gaal’s Oranje.

罗宾·范佩西（Robin van Persie 荷兰 30岁）：作为罗本的锋线进攻搭档，范佩西也打进三球。一个漂亮的头球、一个压迫对手的回报、一个冷静的射门，这是这位荷兰队长带领球队完成的三个目标。
