    not clean sheets. he only kept two.

    Zoff was one, as said above, and the other is Italian but not Buffon.
  • 6. At least one Argie got sent off in 90, no idea of the name. Wasn't Leonardo sent off in 94 for Brazil v Italy?

    Two Argentines got sent off in 90

    Don't remember Leonardo going. That's not the other name I've got at least.

    Just looked it up. He was sent off earlier v USA and got 4 match ban for an elbow.
  • Was one of the Argies called Monzon ?
  • [cite]Posted By: MrOneLung[/cite]Was one of the Argies called Monzon ?

    He was.


    Just the two other players who were sent off in finals and the third (actually the first) keeper to captain a winning team.

    think the last one is very hard. I didn't know it.

  • The first goalie to captain a world cup winning side was from Uruguay when they won in 1930 I think. Haven't a clue what his name was though.

    Leonardo wasn't sent off in the final, it was a knockout game vs US. Literally, he knocked out Tab Ramos, with his elbow.
  • Did Eduardo the Beast come on and get sent of 1998?
  • edited July 2010
    [cite]Posted By: guinnessaddick[/cite]Combi

    Correct He and Zoff in 82 were the two other keepers

    Monzon and Dezoti were sent of for Agentina in 86, Zindane in 2006

    Desailly was the other no one got. Surprised as he was on the TV for most games and it was mentioned. Sent of when he won it in 98.
