Another amazing week of the World Cup as the field winnowed down to four teams. The four teams aren't necessarily a surprise, but one of the heroes is. Spain midfielder Mikel Merino has been the death knell for two teams this week. Coming off the bench in a tie game, he's scored the eventual winning goal twice. In the final moments. After subbing in the 85th minute, Merino broke open a scoreless tie in the first minute of injury time (90+1) to score the only goal in a 1-0 goal against Cristiano Ronaldo and rival Portugal. Then he doubled the achievement in even less time, subbing in the 86th minute, and dealing a 1-1 tiebreaker against Belgium for Spain to advance to the Semifinals in the 88th minute. In about the 80th minute, watch for Merino to step in and see if he has the same luck against Spain. Our Sportsman of the Week cannot be doubted!
