Jaidi won me about $600 when I was spread betting on goal minutes, thanks to a 90th towering header.
Will always be a legend for that, never mind his actual playing career.

The US American would surely be Friedel.

It is indeed, with 450 appearances.
Sissoko for Mali?
Argentina: Aguero or Zabaleta
Uruguay - Gus P
Colombia - Rodallega?
Arshavin
Modric
Shakiri
Pepe Reina
Kolarov for Serbia
Sweden: Anders Svensson
Belgium: Alderweireld or Verthongen
303 games for Zabaleta, 187 for Poyet.
Portugal: Ronaldo
Niclas Alexandersson (Defender/Midfielder/Forward Right/Left/Centre) for Sweden?
Or Seb Larssen?
Paul Peschisolido or are Canada not in the 50?
Edit, see it was someone else.
Fellaini for the Belgian.
Oyvind Leonardson for Norway? Or Ronnie Johnson, was he Norwegian?
Jens Lehman for Germany? Or some real outlier like Pascal Gross.
Mali - Doucore
Morocco - Hadji
Switzerland - Henchoz
Netherlands - Bergkamp
Nigeria - does Ameobi count?
Lundekvam for Norway? He lasted a while.
It is indeed Seb Larsson, 282 PL appearances for him.
He was born in Nigeria and earned 10 caps - he counts and he is correct with, incredibly, 298 PL games under his belt. And just the 43 goals.
Van Persie for Holland?
Shola played 298 times? I think that's the most surprising thing I've ever heard. I'd have had him down for 120.
Riise for Norway?
Arshavin or Pavlychenko [however you spell that] for Russia?
Hamann for Germany?
Russia might be me old mucker Dmitri Kharine.
Fabregas or David Silva for Spain?
Distin for France.
Could be De Gea and Lloris for the big countries.
The Norwegian could be Gamst Pedersen.
Edit: van ser Saar also had a decade or so i the Prem so let's try him for the Dutch.

Arshavin and Kharine did manage over 100 PL apps, but another Russian managed more.
Good shout - he is indeed the top Frenchman with 469 PL appearances.
De Gea got up to 415 games before leaving in the summer.
Mané for Senegal?
Holland. George Boateng
Ngieria - Okocha, Kanu, Yobo
I'll try Fernandinho for the Brazilian.
The Norwegian is Josh King, isn't it.
Kanchelskis for Russia?
Arnautovic and Xhaka for Austria and Switzerland
Sincere with another good answer - Boateng is correct with 384 appearances.
Nigeria has already been answered.
It's Riise, wullie has got that one.
Luca Milivojevic (the palace midfielder who scored a ton of penalties) for the Serbian.
Can we get the remaining answers?
Yoshida for Japan
Quest for the Belgian continues with Hazard and Dembele
Firmino for Brazil
Could the Scotsman be Darren Fletcher. He played his whole career in England, but wasn't a guaranteed starter for a large part when at United.
Cudicini for the Italian
Be good to get an updated list
Zola or Ogbonna for Italy
It is indeed, 341 PL appearances for Fletcher.

Moutinho for Portugal
Has de Bruyne really been fit for enough games to be the most capped Belgian. I'm running out of ideas if not.
Richarlison for the Brazilian
Pogatetz for Austria? Don't think our friends Macho and Manninger made many apps.
Germany possibly Hitzlsperger?
