Ivica Olic?
12th on the list.
How old was Bebeto in 98?
Granqvist can't be far off.
He'll turn 33.
Bebeto for 98?
Checked after I posted it and he turned thirty three a couple of months ago.
Van Bronckhorst can't have been far off when he scored that screamer in 2010.
Bronckhorst has already been mentioned.
Nations remaining with World Cup year

Claudio Suarez for Mexico? And a Laudrup for Denmark?
Suarez wasn't that old. I think it was Pelaez.
Last four

Mexico didn't play Iran in 2010.
Pardon me. They did in 2006. Nothing slips past you man. Your wife's or husbands will find it difficult to creep on your time.
One of the Kovac brothers? Robert Kovac. Oh it's Srna. I think he nicked one.
Last edited by Shindig; 27-06-2018 at 08:34 PM.
Can't be Srna as he's still playing.
Its the other brother Niko Kovac
Three remaining.
Iran vs Mexico - 2006
Yugoslavia vs UAE - 1990
Saudi Arabia vs South Africa - 1998
Ali Daei? I can't think of any other Iranians around that time.
No. I don't expect anyone to get the last three
Iran vs Mexico - 2006 - Current manager of Padideh
Yugoslavia vs UAE - 1990 - Played for Bosnia also. Playing for PSG during the 80's
Saudi Arabia vs South Africa - 1998 - Spent whole career at Al-Hilal
Susic for the PSG one
Clutch
Mehdi Mahdavikia?
Negative
I know two saudis from the 90's one was Owairan (scored against Belgium 94) the other I can't remember exactly. Al-Jobar Al-Jibar something like that.
He defiantly has "Al-" in his name
Two missing players were
Yousuf Al-Thunayan and Yahya Golmohammadi
All World Cup goalscorers who were 34 or older.

They were in the tip of my tongue.
I'm only familiar with Kohlo Golmohammadi.
I didnt know penalty shoot-outs at the World Cup were only implemented in the 70s. Can you name every player who has missed a penalty in a penalty shoot-out since World Cup 1990?
The Holy trinity - Baresi, Baggio, Batty
Steven gerrard, David Trezeguet, Wesley Sneijder.
I'm a twit
update
Hĺkan Mild
Dan Petrescu
And then there was that other romanian defender I can never remember the name of. Did not end with scu.
Paul Ince
I remember the first three Swiss missed in 2006, Frei must have been one.
His name ended with dedici
Frei wasnt one.

Fanis Gekas
If we're counting 1990, Waddle and Pearce
fanis gekasyeah.
Barnetta and Streller then.
Ghana - I think Gyan scored his pen, having missed in extra time. Not sure who missed. John Mensah?
Jamie Carragher, in whichever game it was he was brought on late because of his strength as a penalty taker
Suarez robbed Africa with that handball. Still hurts my heart.
World Cup 2006. I think he was brought on simply because he scored one in the 2005 Champions League final.
Lampard missed in that shootout too right?
Alberto Garcia Aspe.
