Player Profile
An is expected to only be used as a substitute at the World Cup, but has plenty of experience in the international arena and once scored four goals in an East Asian Championship game against Guam.
He only played in three qualifying matches for South Africa, but got on the scoresheet in an away win against the United Arab Emirates. He made one appearance in the qualification stages for the 2006 World Cup against Bahrain and scored a last-minute winner.
He will celebrate his 25th birthday during the second-round stage - should North Korea get that far.
