37 FOOTBALLERS TO PLAY AT 4 WORLD CUPS.

There are a total of 37 footballers who have taken part in four different world cups, and there are two footballers who took part in five world cups.Here the footballers should have played for some time on the pitch to be counted, just being selected in the team will not do.The Brazilian Ronaldo did not play in the 1994 world cup even though he was selected, also Bobby Charlton missed out.
1) Antonio Carbajal 5 world cups.2) Cafu, 3) Paulo Maldini, 4)Lothaur matthaus, 5) Karl heinz Schenelliger, 6)Guseppe Beregomi,7)Giani Rivera, 8)Frank vander Elst,9) Diego Maradona/ 10 Pele and Uwe Seeler.

THEY PLAYED THE MOST WORLD CUPS EVER.

The Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas who is only 28 years old has broken the record for the most clean sheets kept by a Spanish goalkeeper for Spain. Casillas has kept a total of 57 clean sheets in a total of 98 games, he so now breaks the 56 clean sheets for Spain previously held by Andoni Zubizaretta the former Spain and Barcelona goalkeeper, who kept 56 clean sheets in 126 games for Spain.Andoni Zubizaretta played in 5 world cups from 1986 to 1998.And Iker Casillas has played in 3 world cups.And when we consider that Iker Casillas is only 28 years old he will surely play many more games.
The record for the most world aperances is jointly held by the Mexican goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal who played from 1950 to 1966 a total of 5 world cups and the German Lothar Matthaus who played from 1982 to 1998 , a total of 5 world cups or 20 years.
