In the 2018 World Cup Essam El-Hadary broke an incredible record when he became the oldest player to play in a World Cup game ever at 45 years old, when he played for Egypt against Saudi Arabia. The record was also broken at the 2014 World Cup, when Faryd Mondragon played some minutes for Colombia against Japan at 43 years old. El-Hadary record is impressive because he not only managed to play a whole match, but he also had a great performance with six saves including one penalty saved. Before them, the record used to belong to Roger Milla, who played the 1994 World Cup for Cameroon at 42 years old, and he still holds the record of being the oldest player to score at a World Cup game ever with his goal against Russia in that edition.

James Rodriguez had at the 2014 World Cup one of the greatest individual campaigns in the recent history of the competition. His performance was so good that he managed to score in every match he played despite being an attacking midfielder. During the group stage, he scored a great goal against Greece in their debut, a nice header against Ivory Coast and an amazing goal against Japan after dribbling two times the defender and chipping it in over the goalkeeper. After that, in the round of 16 he scored one of the greatest goals in the history of the tournament which was also a Puskas winner against Uruguay and another with his weak foot in that match. He also scored against Brazil in the quarterfinals when they were eliminated. His World Cup was so good that right after it finished Real Madrid bought him for more than 80 million euros, being one of the highest transfers fees ever paid at that time, showing how important it is to perform well at this stage.

Before the 2002 World Cup many people thought Argentina was the main candidate to win the tournament, as they had an amazing team that lead the CONMEBOL qualifiers during the whole process, but they ended up eliminated in the group stage, being the biggest deception of all time for the Argentina national team. The reasons of that elimination are still debated to this day in Argentina, as many people argued that Crespo should have played over Batistuta or that at least they should have played together, that Riquelme should have been called up, many still criticize Veron for his performance and many others blame Bielsa for draining the team physical condition before the tournament. This shows how big every World Cup game is, because even though you can have the greatest team, you can’t afford to have more than one bad day because you’ll go home, or sometimes you can’t even have one bad game.
