Robbie Keane
Republic of Ireland’s man to watch seems non-other than all time favorite, Robbie Keane. The top scorer for the Irish side is currently playing MLS along with David Beckham. At the age of 31, he still has some qualities left in him to make this tournament memorable. Fitness could be a concern for him. However, all eyes will be on Robbie Keane if he can increase his tally of goals.
