In the 1990 World Cup, Cameroon had the greatest run ever for an African country at the time, since they reached the quarterfinals, a milestone which no African team had achieved before. They started the tournament with an unexpected win against all odds over the defending champion, Maradona’s Argentina, in a very tough match with lots of fouls committed from both sides. The next match to secure their spot in the round of 16 they beat a great Romanian side and in that round, they beat one of the best Colombians teams of all time with players like Valderrama and Rincon. Sadly for them, they ended up being eliminated at the quarterfinals by England in extra time.

In the 2010 World Cup, Spain had a team that is remembered to this day for the great football they played due to the quality of their midfielders like Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Xabi Alonso, that were some of the most technical gifted players ever to control and pass the ball, but it also was a very solid team in both areas. They had an unbreakable defense with Ramos, Piqué, Puyol and Capdevilla who were the reason why they managed to finish the knockout stages with a clean sheet, they didn’t receive a single goal in the four matches. They also had a clinical striker, David Villa, who was one of the goalscorers of the tournament and scored the winning goal in four straight matches: Honduras, Chile, Portugal and Paraguay. Our World Cup API provides data of live-match commentary and goalscorers for your users to be able to follow the match live and to track stats for every player.
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.
