The Most Capped Players Ever

Cristiano Ronaldo recently broke through as the most capped player in international men’s history, but the players he just passed deserve credit too! I mean maybe, I really just got interested in who they were in the first place when I heard he broke the record, so we went on our typical deep dive to figure out the story behind the 20 most capped players.
There is a remarkable balance between world class, household names like Ronaldo and Messi with absolute international unknowns who just happened to be the very best players from their respective countries to end up with the most international caps. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I enjoyed going on it myself.
Much Love,
The Zealand

I'd love to see a video on the Marshall Islands' journey to become a fifa member. Their first ever football pitch is due to be completed by July this year in time to host the Micronesian games, and they set up a football federation in 2020 although they have no team, league etc yet.

You have to wonder, how good would a 26 man squad of the most capped players of all-time would perform. You have all-time legends of the sport mixing with players of lesser legacies after all

@tajj7 Год назад

I'd imagine a team with Messi, Ronaldo, Modric, Ramos, one of Buffon or Casillas, all at their relative peaks would do pretty damn well, even if some of the other players around them were more like 2nd/3rd league level players. Kind of the thing though really, either you have to better than your peers in a relatively poor national team (and be this good from a young age) or basically a legend level team in a very good national team. Plus there is a recency bias with all this with more international football being played in recent times than even 20+ years ago, Modric, Ronaldo, Messi, Buffon, Ramos are all still playing, and many of the lesser known names are as well or have only recently stopped. Whereas you think players like Cruyff don't even have 50 cap, someone like Maldini who played nearly 650 times for Milan, 'only' got 126 caps, even someone like Beckham got 'only' 115.

I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned that he has American citizenship and has played for US youth teams. It's funny though, I just checked my save in 2028 and he left Liverpool on a free after 2 years and joined a mediocre Honduras side with not even a single appearance for Honduras.

@@edi0157 The reason Canada and USA have so many games is that they tend to go far in competitions, especially intra-CONCACAF tourneys because Mexico is the only CONCACAF country that has any kind of chance against them, and even that chance is small.

@adam_94 Год назад

Ravelli's never held the world record with 143. His 143rd cap was 1997. Salleh has 163 official caps and his last was in 1981. So Chin Ann has 195 official caps and his last was in 1984. Al-Talyani has 161 official caps with the last in 1997.

@DaveTingerz Год назад

Watching Serie A on a Sunday afternoon in the 90's, I can't help but wonder just how many caps Francesco Toldo would have gotten if Buffon didn't exist.

@Numero6dl Год назад

In reality...not so much: Toldo played his first seasons on loan in Serie B-C1-C2, his first game in Serie A was only at 23 and his first cap at 24, while Buffon made his Serie A debut at 17 and get his first cap at 19. And while Buffon was a starting keeper until 40, Toldo went of the Inter bench after Julio Cesar explosion. Therefore, even replacing Buffon with Toldo in every possible international game played by the first one, Toldo's tally would be 62 caps (upgradeable to 72 if we consider Toldo would probably asked to leave Inter in 2005 to be a starter in another team and playing the 2006 WC). Certainly honorable, but definitely far from reaching the Top 20 list. Probably more interesting the fact Dino Zoff has been the first 100-capped Italian player even if he made his international debut at 26 (!) because of Albertosi and other very good keepers playing in the big teams while Zoff still was at Mantova.
