Something to do with scoring at a World Cup?
Scored their first International goal at a World Cup?
Yes to Guybrush, no to Raoul.
Something about Brazil?
I'm a twit
Nowt to do with Brazil. Although there is one Brazilian who could also be on that non-exhaustive list.
Scored the first goal of a World cup tournament?
EDIT: No, thought it was Burley at France 98 but it was Collins.
Scored their country's last World Cup goal?
Yep.
Tomasson's being that hilariously bad penalty and sliced rebound against Cameroon(?).
Surely a South African scored in when the World Cup was there in 2010. Lucas Radebe retired in 2003?
They did. They scored a goal for all of Africa

I've been team mates with three different Ballon D'or winners.
I've been to two major international tournament semi finals
I've won Europe's secondary club competition but only ever made it to the semi final of the champions league.
Who am I?
I've also never won a league title outside of my home country.
Philip Cocu?
I think it's a Dutchman and Cocu came in mind first.
I'm going to have a dart here and say Momo Sissoko. I'm not sure he's there but I think he's close.
No to both.
Is that precisely two semi-finals, or two at least semi-finals?
Precisely two.
Could have worded that better. Is it two semi-final exits, or two occasions when they went to at least the semis.
Oh right, yeah. Two semi final exits.
Emre?
Yep.
Ronaldo and Cannavaro at Inter, Owen at Newcastle. Not far off having Baggio and Figo in there as well.
I had just narrowed it down to a Turk but I genuinely have no idea which of them is which aside from Hakan Sukur.
Me neither!!!!
I had Christian Zaccardo until the Mourinho bit.
Someone who's played for AC Milan and Chelsea and is either Brazilian, Spanish or Italian.
A Spaniard with that career path is overwhelmingly likely to have played with Sergio Ramos.
If Maicon was part of the 2002 World Cup squad, which I doubt, then it's him.
Can't see that. He'd have been about 18.
Italy in 06 I reckon.
Maybe not as I doubt any of them played abroad.
Lucio?
Lucio played for Bayern.
Oh bum.
Dida.
EDIT: No Mourinho fuck sake.
It's fucking nearly Marco Amelia, but I don't think he's won the Champions League.
They may have been right with the tweet.
There are limited numbers of World Cup winners so it should be easy to disprove.
The tweet probably is right, meaning whoever wrote the question put some serious work into being a prick.
Never playing in Germany rules out the entire German squad aside from Mustafi, who's ruled out on all other criteria. Never playing with Ramos rules out the Spanish winners. The Italian winners all hung around in Italy or played under Ancelotti, aside from Grosso who's ruled out by Mourinho.
Thinking about it specifying that the player wasn't English before saying they've won a World Cup is a fairly good sing it's a troll.
Thought it was Belletti but apparently he was at Chelsea under Ancelotti.
And Barcelona with Messi.
True.
No way this thing can be real.
Having done 30 minutes of research, there's no way it's real. Kaka is the killer - he's only played for a few clubs, and 10 years of his playing time is ruled out by Ancelotti and Ramos. There's noone in his 2013 spell that meets the criteria either.
Edit - and none of the Brazilians from 2002 fit.
Researchfuck sake.
Thought it could have been Alex but Ancelotti kills that.
It can't be true unless one of the 'clues' is like a trick. Like he "played with Kaka" in a fucking charity match or something.
So it's probably a Brazilian like Maicon or somebody.
Like I said, none of the 2002 Brazillians fit.
Maybe some Milan tosser, then. Or it could just be some Irishman, due to the tweet origins.
An Irish World Cup winner. That'll be it.
Anyone who played with Kaka at Milan also played under Carlo. And noone fits from his loan spell.
There's no answer.
It'll be some bullshit like the World Cup being in tiddlywinks or something.
