As far as I can tell the only player to play for than a single country at seperate world cup finals is Luis Monti, representing Argentina in 1930 and Italy in 1934.\n\nThere is probably only one player in history who has represented three nations internationally - Ladislao Kubala played for Czechoslovakia and Spain as well as for Hungary. However, these caps were not earned at the World Cup.

23 players were selected before the tournament (by the 15th of May) who are allowed to play in the World Cup. I'm not quite sure what you mean by the first team, 11 players start each match, and up to 3 of the other 12 can be substituted on during a match. If a player is injured badly enough to have to leave the World Cup, he can be replaced up to 24 hours before a match and still be allowed to play. Interestingly, Serbia and Montenegro have only 22 players, as one player chose to return home, after a rumour circulated that he was only in the team because his father was in a position of government authority.

There will be 32 teams in the World Cup, each team allowed to select 23 players. 32 x 23 = 736. However, many of those players will not see any action. Assuming 15 players from each country see action in the World, that would mean 480 players taking part.

Youngest player to have appeared in a World Cup match, was Norman Whiteside of Northern Ireland in 1982. He was 17 years and 42 days old when he played against Yugoslavia.\n\nThe oldest player, was Roger Milla of Cameroon, who was 42 years and 39 days when he played against Russia in 1994. He infact scored in that game, making him the oldest goalscorer as well! \n\nHope this helps.

These are the Man Utd players likely to be selected\n\nRuud Van Nistelrooy (Holland)\nEdwin Van Der Saar (Holland)\nWayne Rooney (England)\nRio Ferdinand (England)\nGary Neville (England)\nNemenja Vidic (Serbia and Montenegro)\nTim Howard (USA)\nMikael Silvestre (France)\nCristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)\nKieran Richardson (England)\nPark Ji Sung (South Korea)\nGabriel Heinze (Argentina)*\n\nIn total, it is likely that at least 10 players will be represented in the World Cup. Heinze's participation will depend on whether he recovers from injury in time. Howard, on his form. So as many as 12 could make the cut.
