T Two nationed players - osé Altafini (then known as Mazzola) Brazil in 1958 and Italy in 1962; Luis Monti, Argentina in 1930 and Italy in 1934; Ferenc Puskas, Hungary in 1954 and Spain 1962; José Santamaria for Uruguay in 1954 and Spain in 1962 and Robert Prosinecki for Yugoslavia in 1990 and Croatia in 1998.

Z Zabivaka - the official 2018 mascot. It means 'the one who scores' - let's hope the England players talk nicely to him on Tuesday night!
