WC Winners

[Welsh Spur]

Can anyone list the players who have won the World Cup more than once?

depends how recent you want i guess, but the last 30 years look no further than brazil, germany and did the argies win it twice also??

I can think of Pele (obviously - 58, 62, 70, though not sure he played 62), Passarella (78, 86?). There are probably a few Italians from 1934 and 1938.......and a few more Brazilians.

How's that for a definitive answer.......

I'd be surprised if there is a German with two - they won it in 1954, 1974 and 1990.:D

Garrincha (Brazil, 58, 62)
Miazza (Italy, 34,38)

Has Cafu won it twice also? If he was there in 94 then I'd be right, right?

[Spur]

Cafu has played in three finals so yes.

Didn't Beckenbauer win 2? As a coach maybe I am thinking of.

If Cafu's first WC was in 1994....that would mean that he's (so far) got to the final of every WC he's played in. Maybe a sign....

Pele of course was in the Finals in 1962, but did not actually play in the Final against Czechoslovakia as he was injured. His place in the Final was taken by a certain Amarildo who went on to score 2 goals in a 3-1 win. Amarildo then went to Spain and if I remember correctly, joined Athletico Madrid, but he faded away very soon afterwards.
