Got it!

LAURENT BLANC !!!! FFS, how could I forget he played for Barca too.

I forgot this too.

 

[Evilo]

I'll let @Savant since I never would have thought of Robinho...

You go ahead. I’m busy torturing myself for the next 20 min or so.

What was the weird reason why a player was red carded last weekend?
I'm not saying anything about the league.
I'll give hints later if needed.

I'm gonna look crazy if this guess is wrong... but I swear I saw something about a guy flashing his genitals?

 

[Evilo]

Haha, not what I was thinking of.
More "connected" item.

Don't remember his name, but in Turkey a player showed from a cell phone the ref at half-time how the ball had gone out before opponents scored a goal. The ref proceded to give him a yellow. Player got outraged, threw the phone onto the pitch a started kicking the grass. The ref then gave him a red card.

 

[Evilo]

Absolutely !
Your turn Gary !

Shit

 

[gary69]

Okay, this is history question from few decades ago. This player didn't play at all or played basically amateur football for a couple seasons, before emerging as a memorable performer at world stage and setting a couple of records as well. And then continued for several years after that and finally went out from international stage with his head held high.

 

[Evilo]

You mean Roger Milla?
Or did you mean he never played high level football?

 

[gary69]

Yep, Roger Milla. I thought you probably would guess the answer, but I hoped maybe some of our younger posters might beat you to it. You're probably the only one here who has seen more than dozen or so of his international games or his club games (in France) at all.

Well, maybe at least this would inspire some of them to look at his career. He was the oldest player at World cup (since surpassed) and is still the oldest goal scorer.

Nobody can forget those goal celebrations at the corner flag in 1990 WC.

Your turn again.

 

[Evilo]

Easy one then.
Which 2 world cup records were broken in the same game?

 

[S E P H]

Easy one then.
Which 2 world cup records were broken in the same game?

1. Amount of yellow/red cards
2. Amount of goals scored between either nation

 

[Evilo]

No.
I'm talking specifically about two individual records by two players.

 

[gary69]

No.
I'm talking specifically about two individual records by two players.

I probably know what the answer is, but I don't want to tell it, because I have no good question to ask. Let's just say that Oleg Salenko is often involved in these.

 

[Evilo]

Haha, yeah you got it. I was really just rebounding on your own question.

 

[S E P H]

No.
I'm talking specifically about two individual records by two players.

Hmmmmmmmm, going to go South American and say Pele and Maradona?

 

[Evilo]

Nope.
2 individual records in the same game.

 

[Evilo]

By two different players.

 

[Savant]

Nope.
2 individual records in the same game.

Is one the three yellow cards in the Croatia x Australia game

 

[Evilo]

No, really it's two World Cup records beaten in the same game. Both with goals.

 

[Savant]

No, really it's two World Cup records beaten in the same game. Both with goals.

Maybe another oldest/youngest involving continuing the Roger Milla theme?

 

[Evilo]

Yup. Milla is one of the two. And if scroll up, you'll find the other.
