Winston Reid - Falls once again to an injury Reid intercepted four times and made two clearances before leaving to a knee injury in the 1-0 shootout loss to Japan on Saturday.
Impact Reid was the rock for New Zealand's back line, but he picked up an injury once again.

However, in his brief run on the pitch, he still managed to put together another strong performance and keep Japan at bay.

Angelo Ogbonna - Should be fine for opener Ogbonna "should be fine" and has a "slight problem" in his hamstring, according to manager David Moyes.
Impact A slight problem in the hamstring still means a couple weeks on the shelf, so there's a decent chance Ogbonna won't be ready to start the Aug. 15 opener against Newcastle. There's a chance he returns in a friendly before then, but if not, Issa Diop could be in the XI against Newcastle.

Angelo Ogbonna - Leaves friendly injured Ogbonna was forced off in the seventh minute of Saturday's friendly with a possible hamstring injury.
Impact It's not a great start to the season for Ogbonna, who started 28 matches last season. If it's indeed a hamstring injury, it could keep him out of the opener in a few weeks, as he'll need a couple weeks to get back to health and then return to full fitness.

Impact Rice brought the muscles in the midfield as per usual and often physically bested the opponents.

Tomas Soucek - Takes three shots in win Soucek took three shots (one on goal) and won one-of-two tackles during Sunday's 2-0 win over the Netherlands..
Impact Soucek has been one of the more consistent players in the tournament but it hasn't amounted to much value without goals to balance out lesser numbers in other areas. With what should be a fun matchup against Denmark, Soucek is one of a few players in this game worth tracking.

Vladimir Coufal - Concedes yellow in knockout win Coufal kept a clean sheet with three tackles made (zero won) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 win over the Netherlands.
Impact Coufal started the group stage in much better shape than he's in now, as three fouls conceded and a yellow card from his last two matches aren't as beneficial to his value. If he gets more freedom to push forward the quarterfinals against Denmark, then Coufal's value could rise enough to make a difference.
