Player to watch Joel Campbell
IF Costa Rica are to pull off an upset in Group āDā, inspiration is likely to come from the feet of Arsenal forward Campbell.
The livewire 21-year-old joined the London club in 2011 but is still awaiting his competitive debut, having been successively loaned out to Lorient, Real Betis and Olympiakos.
He enjoyed an impressive 2013-14 campaign with Olympiakos, notably scoring a fine individual goal in a shock 2-0 win at home to Manchester United in the Champions League.
A skilful, left-footed player, Campbell typically plays on the right for Olympiakos, but may be used as a central striker at the World Cup.
