1) Robin van Persie (Manchester United & Netherlands)
Already the scorer of three goals at this World Cup, Manchester United striker Robin van Persie is surely a source of hope that a Premier League player can score a goal in a World Cup semi-final or final. The 30-year-old has been a terrific servant to the Netherlands national side in his long career, and this may be his last chance to play at a World Cup and show his tremendous goalscoring ability, which has seen him almost single-handedly win the Premier League title for his club.
