Top 15 Almost Unbreakable Records In The World Soccer History

#3. Most world cup matches by an individual player - Lothar Matthäus (Germany)

Lothar Matthäus

You might not feel that it is an important record to know but still, it is one of those international records which we can expect to remain unbeaten in the near future. German midfielder Lothar Matthäus holds the record of playing most number of FIFA WC matches.

He appeared in 25 WC matches. He had to play five consecutive WCs in order to achieve such a record. It's quite difficult to expect any other player to play for such a long period of time in the near future.
