We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!
"There are sixteen players at Qatar 2022 who have appeared in four World Cups. How many can you name? (Bonus points if you can name the four players who are appearing in their fifth World Cup!)"
Good luck!

Ronaldo 5?
Messi
Ochoa
Well in, Dave - You're spot on with Ronaldo, Messi and Ochoa. They're actually all three making their fifth appearances at a WC. Cor!
So that's three down - who are the others?
How about Biscuits for Spain and Neuer and Mueller for Germany?
Pepe for Portugal and Nagatomo for Japan?
Biter Suarez and Muslera for Uruguay and Dani Alves for Brazil
Hugo Lloris and Olly for France.
Bryan Ruiz of the Ticos
Kawashima of Japan
Nice volley by Gabi off the inside of the post makes it 5-0. The score does not flatter Spain at all.
Ian Darke is making Spain one of the favorites. There will be stiffer tests than the Ticos. A bit premature
Spain with close to 85% of the possession and out passed the Ticos 806 to 115. Those stats tell the story this match
Ticos out shot a Baker's dozen to nil in case anyone thought the above stats weren't an accurate indication of how the match went
Sorry. The previous three comments were on the wrong thread
Well in, David. You were correct on these:
4. Busquets
4. Neuer
5. Muller
6. Nagatomo
7. Suarez
8. Muslera
9. Lloris
10. Kawashima
The others are incorrect. I was surprised that Pepe wasn't on the list, but perhaps he missed out through injury during one of the tournaments.
Hector Moreno and Andres Guardado of Mexico
Luka Modric even though he lives one the second floor
Diego Godin of Uruguay
Thomas Edison Cavani
Guardado is #11 on your list (also the fourth of the five-timers along with Ronaldo, Messi, and Ochoa). Cavani is #12 on your list. The others have only had three WC appearances.
How about Thiago Silva? He's been around for ages
How about Shaquiri ? He's been around a while.
Shaqiri is spot on; Thiago Silva has only appeared in three.
But I missed Diego Godin. He's another. So you're only missing one. He's another Uruguyan. As you can tell, it's an aging side.
