You're counting the penalty losses to West Germany in 86 and Bulgaria in 94 as defeats. They're usually called draws in statistics, I think.Dasa said:I've managed to prove the beeb wrong, it seems.

The Baconator

I'm guessing it might be a hispanic-sounding surname, through Spain, Portugal and South America. Gonzalez?atichon said:

Ok here goes, and it was a guess, evidently a lucky one.
I hold a record one may expect to be held by a great of the game, but aside from breaking the record, I did little else for my country. Who am I and what did I do?
