Hossam and Ibrahim Hassan
As far as I can tell, they are top of the pile with 300 caps between them.
I'll let Mahow google the rest.
Two of the various Flos for Norway.
I think there were brothers in the Zambian team that died in a plane crash, but I can't remember the names.
Croatia. Kovac?
Tore Andre & Jostein
I cant find any evidence of the zambians dying in a plane crash, unless some other brothers who qualify died in the crash that i dont have in my list...
ddsdfsd
There were about eight of them called Bwalya in Actua Soccer 2.
Zambians that is.
Kalusha Bwalya had a brother but I don't know the name or how many caps he had.
No - Christopher and Felix Katongo. Of course.
Kalusha had 87. I cant find any reference to his brothers amount of caps.
Ravellis could be the Swedish ones, one of them (Thomas?) got a shit ton of caps.
The Swiss one is bugging me because I think it's one of those non-Swiss sounding names but I can't remember it. They both played for Basel at some point and it's going to drive me mad all afternoon.
Alexei and Roman Eremenko for Finland?
Vidmars for Australia? Although I'm not convinced they aren't the same person.
Hleb has a brother for Belarus?
The Younghusbands for the Philippines. I remember them one time I got really angry at how shit Asia was at football and tried to pick out the most skilled Filipino player, which turned out to be fruitless, but I remembered this at least.
Jimmy beat me to the Finnish one, so I'll try the Büchels for the Lichtensteiners.
Freis could be the Swiss ones unless the Yakins were correct and just missed.
The Estonians are tricky as they have probably an XI's full of players well over a hundred caps. Anyone of them could have a brother with a few caps.
Poom or Klavan?
I can't think of any other Estonians so hopefully one has a brother.
Lichtenstein
Sweden
Romania
Norway
El Salvador
Lichtenstein
Morocco
Moldova
Estonia
Estonia
Switzerland
One of the morrocons and one of the norweigains have both played in the premier league.
The Riise brothers?
Tim Cahill's brother played for Samoa once. He was too rubbish even for them though. Considering Tim has about 459 Australia caps, his 1 should put them over the line. No idea on his name; Bruce Cahill?
I'm a twit
Stocklasa / Burgmeier / Jehle / Frick are the Liechtenstein players I know, I bet two of them have brothers. There can only be like 10 families in the whole place anyway.
If Büchels weren't correct, lets try the Haslers.
Tim has 100 caps. I tought he would have 160+. His brother only has 3 for samoa. Plus cross country brothersdont count, the frauds.
Martin & Michael
update
Burgmeier is a decent shout. I used to play with Vaduz on FM back in the day and either Jehle or Frick used to have a brother who played too, but I think they represented a different country.
Fucking Büchels and Haslers. Generations of shit national team footballers, but no brothers to reach 120. I bet they could name an all time XI fielding just Büchels and Haslers though
Estonia had this bloke who used to score all the goals for them and possibly played in Germany. Not Joel Lindpere, going further back than that. Give me a hand someone.
This Büchels, what are their first names?
clues for remaing players
Toggle Spoiler
If anyone gets that swiss one.
I'm a twit
Martin is one the Büchels. There are probably a dozen more. Maybe Hans, Fritz or Niels.
Patrik and Daniel Andersson for the Swedes.
Brothers from Lichtenstein do start with the letter B.
Hadjis for Morocco.
I can't name a single footballer from Moldova.
Youssouf & Mustapha

A quick one that I just spotted from Opta on the live text on BBC: Lukaku is the fifth player to score in his first two Premier League games for Manchester United. Who are the other four?
Macheda, Ruud, Rashford, Zlatan.
And I was trying to avoid knowing what happened in the game. I knew I shouldnt have clicked this thread
Ruud?
Macheda and Ibrahimovic are correct.
Beckham?
Fortune?
Solskjaer?
I'd have guessed Solskjaer, but no.
Still two to go.
Martial scored on his debut but I dont think he followed it up. Throw him out there anyway.
Martial is correct.
One to go.
Park Ji Sung
He didn't do it but I needed to mention the loveable little scamp.
Sadly it was not him.
Saha scored loads at the start of his first season, I reckon it's him.
