If I am not wrong, Casillas played 17 matches (not 15) in World Cups : 5 in 2012, 3 in 2006, 7 in 2010 and 2 in 2014.Could someone validate and modify this ? Aonikenk (talk) 14:47, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The swedish midfielder have the same history of suiss Bickel: They played WC before and after World Cup. If somebody wants to edit...https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/en/Erik_Nilsson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.244.122.167 (talk) 03:57, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is this based on whether they still play international or football in general? WDM10 (talk) 19:38, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

the only logical use of squad in reference to a national team is if there are designated specialty teams within that national team otherwise a squad is a team and is redundant. That is not a good faith effort but a logical action. And for whatever reason there are references to "first squad" in WP, so if these articles are written by those familiar with the content then there must be more than one squd within a national team?2603:8000:D300:D0F:6532:152A:4FC5:D1EF (talk) 12:35, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why does it say Luka Modric didn't play at the 2010 World Cup, he was there and scored if the info in his page is correct? 184.149.12.22 (talk) 17:30, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have just come across this page, the title suggests that any 'multiple FIFA World cup' player would qualify, but then out of nowhere the lead states it has to be 'more than four', there isn't a justification for this in terms of the entry and this seems to have been a journalistic decision on behalf of an editor in some point in the history of the page. Either the page needs to be re-titled or it needs to be be updated to actually list all players that have appeared at multiple (2 or more) world cups. Appearing in 2 or 3 World Cups is still a pretty remarkable feat and should be captured in the encyclopedia. Mountaincirquetalk 11:44, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think to hange article in few ways:
1Most matches at the lead instead "most tournaments played at the lead"
2table of football players who played most mathes as captain
3change name of the aricle to "Football players with mot matches at FIFA World Cup"

I removed Franky van der Elst from the list. He only did 14 matches. Despite this old FIFA match report he was not substituted in the 89th minute in the groupstage game against Paraguay. There is video evidence:[1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-wzFgxB_B8?t=5593 At 1:33:14 one can clearly see that his namesake Leo with shirt-no. 15 comes on the pitch.
