There's a quartet of star-studded forwards on show in World Cup Group H all in varying stages of their careers.
Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the greatest ever, will captain Portugal. There's Luis Suarez's Uruguay also likely to play in his final World Cup and Tottenham's Son Heung-min who will be leading South Korea out in a bid to cause a tournament upset.
Then there's Antoine Semenyo - and yes, there's a sense of hyperbole when fitting him into that category but who knows where his career will take him, especially if he shines on the biggest stage of them all.
Later this afternoon, Bristol City's 22-year-old striker will go up against Ronaldo in Ghana's tournament curtain-raiser. A player who is 15 years his senior and past his peak but arguably heading into the game with something to prove after having his contract terminated at Manchester United on Tuesday.
Of course, the Portuguese have plenty of other players to admire such as Bruno Fernandes, Joao Cancelo, Andre Silva and Joao Felix. But the eyes of the world will firmly be on Ronaldo and Semenyo will be plotting to steal his thunder and grab the headlines.
He said: "When I speak about it, it is crazy. I’ve always watched him from when I was young and I watch him now. To be up against him is good, I am going to relish the challenge, work hard and do what I can to stop him from scoring and put the ball in the back of the net myself.
"It’s going to be exciting. Watching one of the world’s best when I was young is going be one hell of an experience."
The tournament has already thrown up two major surprises. Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina which was regarded as one of the biggest World Cup shocks in history while Japan defeated the Germans.
As the lowest-ranked side in the competition, nobody is expecting Ghana to pull up many trees in Qatar. Only three African nations have reached the quarter-finals in World Cup history including the Black Stars in 2010.
He added: "It’s going to be a tough one, to be honest with you. You’ve got top-quality teams, I think we are up there as well.
"I feel we can give them a challenge so we’re going to work hard, play our game and hopefully cause an upset. The dream is to win, we always want to win. Getting to the Round of 16 or the final eight is definitely the target. I will try and get as many goals as I can."
Semenyo heads into the tournament on the back of scoring his first international goal in just his third cap last week when he was introduced against Switzerland in a friendly. Working under coach Otto Addo and alongside Premier League players such as Arsenal's Thomas Partey and Tariq Lamptey is only going to benefit his game at club level.
"Tactically it is a little bit more different," Semenyo said. "The coach wants us to play a certain way. I have to be vigilant and I have to listen.
"I’m working on my movement a lot more. I’m working on the ball a lot more. I’ve really tried to keep the ball, play around the back and play through the midfield.
"When I’m in, I need to make sure I am always available. It’s helping my game at Bristol as well. It adds that sharpness and that movement and clinical edge.
"With the characters, we have in the team we want it to be faster, quick and slick. You have to adjust to that. You have to be slick with everything. Moving the ball quickly with two touches and being as quick as possible with the ball."
