I gave Dubravka a look. Shockingly, just the 48 caps.
Still probably the goalkeeper with the most caps for them. They've been rotating them like there's no tomorrow.

Nobody said Neuer?
Can we take a minute to recognise that Ronaldo’s 207 caps is crazy.
I'm a twit
Bruno Fernandes, Calhanoglu, Kjaer, Schmeichel, Hojberg, Soucek, Coufal, Akanji, Embolo, Zuber
I’ve spent about an hour trying to remember Domagoj Vida’s name. There’s probably still more Croatians too. Have we done Kramaric yet?
Three Danes? Are Thomas Delaney & Daniel Wass in the squad? Simon Kjaer must be way up there if he’s in too. Andreas Christensen, Youssef Poulsen, & Kasper Dolberg come to mind as well.
Yarmolenko, Malinovskyi or Zinchenko for Ukraine, Djimsiti for Albania & Ricardo Rodriguez for Switzerland. Seeing Ilicic is on there has reminded me of Jasmin Kurtic.
Don’t see Serbia on the list but surely Dusan Tadic is up there? Same goes for de Vrij. Danilo Pereira seems like the only Portuguese lad old enough to be the last one standing for them.

Chuck Danilo Pereira on there too, I snuck him in while you were sorting those lot.
Ricardo Rodriguez for the Swiss.
Guarantee I've not heard of the remaining six.
I'm a twit
Berisha for the Albania one? Been playing in Italy for so long, I'd assume he's similarly gathered international caps, just don't know if he'd still be in their squad.
Not a clue about the rest.

Malinowski? Atalanta geezer
It's the high Slovakia one that's really baffling. Thomas Muller level of international caps, in a not so minor country football-wise (as opposed to say Georgia) and I can't even come close to who it could be. Everyone I'm thinking off has already been mentioned and they are either lower in that list or not active any more.
Just looked him up, think I've heard of him at some point but my word he's been soldiering on for a while.
Which player has been awarded the MOTM in both the World Cup & Euro finals?
Iniesta
The only other Slovak I know is Marek Hamsik.
Nobody under the age of 18 has featured so far on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. But there have been 24 players under the age of SEVENTEEN to have played a Premier League game; can you name them all?
17 and under?
Rooney
Jeffers
Owen
Aaron Lennon
Theo Walcott
Ethan Nwaner
Jack Wilshere
Izzy Brown
Gary McSheffrey
James Milner
Harvey Elliott and Ben Woodburn?
Oxlade
Gibbs White
Chem Campbell
Cesc Fabregas
Robbie Keane
Bale? Jenas? Was Danny Cadamarteri [I have no idea how you spell that] thrown in young?
I know Harvey had the record for a little bit but I've no idea who took it off him. Jack Robinson has to be close too.
Ibe
jack Robinson
Sinclair
Robinson is correct, 16 years and 250 days when he played against Hull. Current list is as follows:
Ethan Nwaneri – 15 years, 181 days – Arsenal v Brentford, September 2022
Harvey Elliott – 16 years, 30 days – Fulham v Wolverhampton Wanderers, May 2019
-
Izzy Brown – 16 years, 117 days – West Bromwich Albion v Wigan Athletic, May 2013
Aaron Lennon – 16 years, 129 days – Leeds United v Tottenham Hotspur, August 2003
-
Gary McSheffrey – 16 years, 198 days – Coventry City v Aston Villa, February 1999

-
Jack Robinson – 16 years, 250 days – Liverpool v Hull City, May 2010
Jack Wilshere – 16 years, 256 days – Arsenal v Blackburn Rovers, September 2008

Wayne Rooney – 16 years, 297 days – Everton v Tottenham Hotspur, August 2002
James Milner – 16 years, 310 days – Leeds United v West Ham United, November 2002

Francis Jeffers – 16 years, 335 days – Everton v Manchester United, December 1997

Vaughan, the Everton lad.
Good question by the way
I'm a twit
Vaughan also scored on his debut; he is the youngest player to ever score in the PL.
A clue or two for the remaining players - the clubs they were playing for and when they played:
Fulham, May 2007
Everton, August 2008
Aston Villa, March 2015
West Ham United, August 2015
Sheffield Wednesday, February 1996
Manchester United, May 2017
Tottenham Hotspur, May 2024
Sheffield United, January 2021
Southampton, May 2023
Tottenham Hotspur, February 2021
West Bromwich Albion, April 2016
Middlesbrough, April 1996
Everton, March 2008
Is Baxter one of the other Everton ones?
Reece Oxford for West Ham
Gomes for United? Small man anyway, made it look even worse

Spurs in May must be Mikey Moore, right?
Middlesbrough one will be Andy Campbell.
Fulham one will be Briggs.
Phil or James younghusband?
Jack Rodwell
Joe Cole
Emile Heskey
Micheal Carrick
Ethan Ampadu
Glen Johnson
Raheem Sterling
Neil Mellor
@thommo seems like we give up
Adding a new one. Cole Palmer scored his 12th Prem penalty at the weekend. Setting a Premier League record for the most penalties taken without ever missing.
Chelsea FC posted this on their site “Cole Palmer set a new Premier League record on Sunday as he scored his 12th consecutive penalty, a feat no player had previously achieved in the competition.” Leaving out the important “without missing” qualifier.
10 players scored 12 in a row before Palmer did it. Who are they?
Le Tissier.
Cantona.
Shearer.
