Only two men can boast the same statistic as Rafael Marquez after the defender made an appearance at his fifth World Cup on Sunday.
Aged 39, the Mexican was afforded just 20 minutes off the bench against Germany but every moment was vital as his side snatched a triumphant 1-0 win over the holders.
Lothar Matthaus is the other outfield player to have competed in five different World Cups and another Mexican, goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal, completes the short list thanks to outings between 1950 and 1966.
As for Marquez, his affinity with the competition began on June 3, 2002 with a win over Croatia and his latest achievement will rank among his and his country's greatest for years to come.
