A player to watch from each World Championship nation. Not necessarily the best player, but a player who, for some reason, is exciting. Starting with Group A, the Group B and so on.

Germany:
Juri Knorr (playmaker, GWD Minden, 2000)
The son of Thomas is a man for the future. Great speed and creativity. Signed for Rhein-Neckar Löwen. Probably not the biggest role for Germany, but very fun to watch.

Hungary:
Dominik Máthé (right back, Elverum HH, 1999)
My former team mate is a really dangerous shooter both from the floor and in the air. An upcoming star, who are destined to become a main player when Hungary hosts the EURO 2022 together with Slovakia.

Uruguay:
Nicolas Fabra (playmaker, Scuola Italiana Di Montvideo, 1986)
Uruguay is probably one of the teams with less experience and lowest level in the World Championship. But Fabra has a lot of experience and is very dangerous in front of the goal.

Cape Verde:
Leandro Semedo (left back, Ademar Leon, 1994)
A lot of exciting players in the roster of the World Championship debutants. One of them is Leandro Semedo, who is very athletic. A light version of Andre Gomes. Has had achilles tendon problems, but should be ready.

Spain:
Adrian Figueras (line player, HBC Nantes, 1988)
With the injury of Julen Aguinagalde an even bigger role is destined for Figueras, who has played a good season so far with his new French team, HBC Nantes.

Poland:
Simon Sicko (left back, Łomza Vive Kielce, 1997)
Poland has always had great shooters from distance like Jerzy Klemel and Karol Bielecki. Sicko might not reach the same level, but he is still a very good shooter.

Tunisia:
Mosbah Sanaï (left back, Club Africain, 1991)
Another great shooter from distance. Sanaï probably has one of the hardest shots in the world. And with the absence of Bannour, Sanaï has a license to shoot as much as he likes.

Brazil:
Rogerio Moraes (line player, Telekom Veszprém, 1994)
With Thiagus Petrus infected with covid-19 Moraes gets an even bigger role defensively and offensively he is a monster!

Croatia:
Ivan Martinovic (right back, Hannover-Burgdorf, 1998)
With the injury of Stepancic it’s time for Ivan Martinovic to show us what his got. Played some great youth national championships and also showed great form with “Die Recken” in the Bundesliga.

Angola:
Giovany Muachissengue (goalkeeper, 1º de Agosto, 1984)
I lost my heart to Muachissengue at the latest World Championship in 2019 in Denmark and Gernany, where he was amazing when Angola shocked the world and defeated Qatar. Not your everyday goalkeeper!

Qatar:
Frankis Marzo (back court player, Sporting CP, 1987)
The Cuban-born right hander is in my opinion underrated. One of the greatest players man-against-man offensively.

Denmark:
Mathias Gidsel (right back, GOG, 1999)
It seems like a new Danish right back star is born. Gidsel is very worth seeing and creates a lot of speed in the Danish attack and counter attacks.

D.R. Congo:
Audray Tuzolana (playmaker, Dreux AC, 1984)
I haven’t been able to find the final squad for D.R. Congo, but Tuzolana is in the initial squad. I remember him from his time in Denmark. He is very athletic and has an amazing jump shot with both legs.

Norway:
Petter Øverby (line player, HC Erlangen, 1992)
With the injuries of Rød and Gullerud the line player of HC Erlangen, Øverby, will be very, very important defensively. Exciting to follow.

Jonathan Carlsbogård (left back, TBV Lemgo, 1995)
A very underrated player who has been amazing in the Bundesliga since he joined Lemgo. Is destined to get a great role for “the new Sweden” with Solberg as coach.

Uladzislau Kulesh (left back, Łomza Vive Kielce, 1996)
A generational change is under way in Belarus. Pukhouski, Nikulenkau and Shylovich are gone. Now Kulesh is the biggest star in the back court - and what a shooter he is!

Update:
Switzerland:
Andy Schmid (playmaker, Rhein-Neckar Löwen, 1983)
Who else? The Swiss knife who can open every defense in the world. This becomes worth seeing!
