Pragathish (AC Milan) 1 year ago
Ronaldo(not the hairgel abuser)    By "who" you mean country or player? (sorry I had to ask!)
GreatScot (Rangers)(Footytube Staff) 1 year ago
I'll go for Kluivert of Holland and i'll guess at Pagliuca former Italy International(and one of my all time favourite keepers!)

Donnchadh revel the answers...
Donnchadh (Liverpool) 1 year ago
Sorry boys I have been off for quite some time

For the .75 goal ratio there are a few answers. Puskas is one 84 in 85 appearances dumb really haha, Gerd Muller is another he had a ridiculous goal scoring ratio for West Germany of 1.09. Ali Daeli has the most international goals scored at 109 but a ratio just under the mark at .73, many guessed Pele which is correct .84 77 in 92 matches. There are also two Scandinavians with ridiculous goal scoring records Poul Nielsen of Denmark has 52 in 38!? And Sven Rydell of Sweden has 49 in 43. There are probably others, these are all I could find. I think it may be some time before a player for his country has this kind of prolific record again. The game is becoming more defensive, especially at the international level.


Going with that trend I believe it is two modern goalkeepers who hold the most clean sheets for their country. Edwin Van der Sar has a ridiculous 71 clean sheets for the Netherlands. Casillas may be up there too, he had kept 52 clean sheets as of 2009. I am pretty sure Van der Sar holds that record though. Much harder to find these kind of clean sheet records than goal scoring records haha. Peter Shilton is up there too with 66, and shares a record with Barthez(really Barthez haha) of having kept 10 WC clean sheets. If you can do some research and find someone with more than the 71 of VDS I would love to see it. Thomas Ravelli may be one to look into, as well as getting an updated number for Casillas. Most of my numbers I got from this awesome list.

p.s. Prag and Greatscott Ronaldo has 62 in 98 caps, while Kluivert has 40 in 79 both wonderful tallies, just harder to score goals in the modern international game. Look at the best player in the world right now I don't think his ratio can be above 2 in 5 for Argentina. Though he doesn't really play in that pure goal scoring role, especially for Argentina (Maradona has 34 in 91 Messi has 17 in 60). I am surprised that the leading dutch goal scorer is Patrick with 40 so many legends, Cruijff, Neeskens, Rep, Van Basten, Gullit, Bergkamp, Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie
TheBarcaShow (Anims Tito) 1 year ago
Not sure on the clean sheets. But looking at caps wise I am sure Zoff, Maier, and Zubizarreta can probably bring some good numbers

I hold the record for being the most capped player in my native country.

I retired in 2007.

I hold the record for most goals scored in all competitions in one season.
I was the first player to wear the number "9" in club football.
I had more goals than appearances for my national team.
The club for which I had the most appearances erected a statue of me outside their stadium in 2001.

Sam (Juventus) 1 year ago
I began my playing career at Corinthians in Brazil as a defender.
I moved on to Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, where I made 37 appearances.
I only scored 1 goal while at Sporting; however what was unique about this goal was that it remains the fastest recorded shot in history.
I now currently play alongside my brother in Germany.
Who am I?

Jesuriya (AS Roma) 1 year ago
Babayaro at 16 years. The younger one of babayaro brothers remember then both playing for nigeria. Not like botang brothers facing each others. Lol
Sam (Juventus) 1 year ago
Jesuriya on the money.... Celestine Babayaro is the right answer.
Won a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics with Nigeria.
First played in the champions league with Anderlecht, and became the youngest player to receive a red card in the UEFA Champions League when he was sent off in a match between Steaua Bucuresti and his club Anderlecht (1-1) at an age of 16 years and 86 days

Which English team plays at the highest altitude in England?  Where would I find the stadium located at the highest altitude in the world?
GreatScot (Rangers)(Footytube Staff) 1 year ago
In the world I believe is Bolivia, they have beat teams like Argentina and Brazil at home using the altitude to their advantage!

English team I don't know maybe Newcastle @ St. James's park?
Sam (Juventus) 1 year ago
Not St. James' Park.... A little addendum- talking only about teams in the Premier League or Championship
You are on the right track with Bolivia...
ManUK (Manchester United) 1 year ago
English teams, are we talking premier league or any english team?
Donnchadh (Liverpool) 1 year ago
Perhaps in Peru for the world question
ManUK (Manchester United) 1 year ago
I think it's Equador, they have some majorly high stadiums
Sam (Juventus) 1 year ago
Highest altitude stadium in England- the Hawthorns, home of West Brom. (168m above sea level)

Highest stadium in the world- Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz, Bolivia, which stands 3,637 m above sea level

TheBarcaShow (Anims Tito) 1 year ago
Chile I think, Third place but I couldn't tell you the year. 50's or 60's maybe
Sam (Juventus) 1 year ago
Correct answer is Chile in 1962. It didn't hurt that they hosted the tournament LOL!
