Diomede

f**k ye beat me by 34 secs

[thewingedlady]

Just had a brainstorm, Insua played in world u-20 final and won it, think masch won one as well.

[stevo-08]

Diomede is correct. He actually did play a few mins in 1998, believe it or not. Later to become a Liverpool player.

So you're missing 2.

Karl Heinz Riedle

[stevo-08]

Insua & Masch are wrong. Senior World Cup Finals, we're talking about.

Riedle correct. Good shout. played in 1990 and later came to Liverpool.

If you get the last one, I'll be very impressed. Played F**k all for the reds.

Alou Diarra

correct - well done. I cant believe you got that. He came on for viera in 2006 final. Was a liverpool player from 2002-2005 but i dont think he made any apperances at all. Went on loan for a couple of seasons.

So it's someone who left Liverpool and then played?

there were 3 types of categories (maybe I should've explained the question better). Anyway, see original questions with answers below (with a serious doubt over Diomede's honour!!)

Apart from 1966, there have been 5 liverpool players, (past, present and future) to have played in a World Cup Final. Can you name them?

1 played while he was with us Hamann (2002)
2 joined us after playing (and winning) world cups Riedle (1990), Diomede (1998??)
2 went on to play in finals after leaving us. Ziege (2002), Diarra (2006)

[stiff breeze]

Karl-Heinz Riedle didnt actually play. he was a sub. think thats the point winglady is making

For jaysus sake, there was me thinking I was really smart coming on here with a good quiz question. Should've confirmed the answers before going out against ye experts. I should probably count myself lucky that 3 of them were right!!

Anyway, I think the answers might still stand if you say 5 world cup winners rather than played in a world cup final.

Cue "thewingedlady" with a link that contradicts me again...
