[SvN]

There's a crap keeper who played for Real in the 90s before Casillas. I can't remember his name, but he was there for years. He might be the Spanish keeper.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Surely Molina is the one from 95/96?

The Spaniard from 04/05: Diego Lopez?

[SvN]

It wasn't Cesar. I'm going to just wiki it because it's driving me mental, but someone else needs to get it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Before Casillas they had Bodo Illgner and before that... I know who you mean. Was there for donkey's.

[Reg]

Here's a quicker one:

Name the most recent ten players to have scored a hat-trick in the World Cup.

[Disco]

Batistuta in 94.

[wullie]

Batistuta
Is Salenko recent enough?

[Disco]

Klose and Muller.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Pauleta got one against Poland in 2002.

[phonics]

Davor Suker? He's always the answer to these things.

[SincereTheRebel]

Muller got one vs portugal in the last world cup. There were three in that tournament.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I reckon this might actually go back to 1986, in which case Lineker.

[SincereTheRebel]

Some swiss player got one in the group stage of the 2014 world cup. I cant even name one single swiss player through besides senderos

[wullie]

Higuain got one, which was what gave me the edge in our fantasy league that year.

[SincereTheRebel]

Xhaka brothers
Shakiri
Frei
Barnetta

[SincereTheRebel]

Ronaldo
Rivaldo
Romario

[SincereTheRebel]

Nuno Gomes
Oliver Bierhoff
Alberto Gilardino

[Reg]

Batistuta in 94.

Batistuta
Is Salenko recent enough?

Batistuta the only player to score a hat-trick at two World Cups (94, 98).
Salenko correct, 94.

Klose and Muller.

2002 and 2014.

Pauleta got one against Poland in 2002.

Davor Suker? He's always the answer to these things.

None for Suker, but he did wear a magnificent Croatia kit.

Muller got one vs portugal in the last world cup. There were three in that tournament.

I reckon this might actually go back to 1986, in which case Lineker.

Linekar not in the most recent 10 but did indeed score a hat-trick then.

Higuain got one, which was what gave me the edge in our fantasy league that year.

2010.

Xhaka brothers
Shakiri
Frei
Barnetta

2014.

Ronaldo
Rivaldo
Romario

None of these greats have scored a World Cup hat-trick. Not so great after all, suckers.

Nuno Gomes
Oliver Bierhoff
Alberto Gilardino

None of these.

[Reg]

As above Batistuta has two, but I'll count him as one player which means there are 3 players left.

Two came in 1990, Italy and the other came in 1986, Mexico. (There were actually four hat-tricks scorers in the latter; Gary Linekar being one of them.)

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hugo Sanchez in 86?

[Reg]

None for Sanchez.

[Disco]

Butragueno got four once, was that 86?

[Reg]

Correct! In a 5-1 win v Denmark.

The two 1990 scorers remaining.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Butragueno?

I'm sure he was top scorer in 86.

Edit: Fuck you, Disco.

[Danny]

Lineker was the top scorer.

[Jimmy Floyd]

1990 is probably some Soviet of whom I've never heard. Actually didn't the Yugos have a big win at that one? Mijatovic?

[Reg]

None for Mijatovic.

These are tricky, clues may help:

- 6"4 striker who played for Czechoslovakia.
- Spanish right winger who has managed in Spain (where he is currently), Greece and France.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Oh that'll be Michel or whatever he's called, guy who played for Real Madrid. Would never have guessed him.

[Adramelch]

Ye Michel for sure.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That Czechoslovakian clue probably works for about 80 people.

[Reg]

Correct! Decent scoring record for club and country apparently.

I'll wait a couple hours, in case somebody gets it, then post the name of the Czechoslovakian striker. (Obviously feel free anyone else to start another question. )

[Adramelch]

I think I know the guy, used to play for Genoa at some point no? I remember a Czech guy being their top scorer or something. No clue on the name though.
