    Actually he coached against France in 4 World Cups. The one you haven't mentioned is South Africa in 2010.
    There is another person too though who has coached against one country in 3 World Cups with 3 different teams.

      Doesn't Pele have the most gold medals with 3?

      Indeed a tough question. Other than Carlos Alberto, I know Bora has done 5 world cups, so I'm guessing he would have the highest chance of having come across the same team 3 times, but I'm drawing blanks on what team it can be.

        Pele does have 3 gold medals but he is not the answer. You are on the right track with Bora.

          Not necessarilly a World Cup question but what player has zero international caps to his name and yet one international goal scored?

          I finally rediscovered him.

          Up until September of 1983, the Swiss Federation considered an international cap as at least one half of a match.
          If a player played for anything less, by their rules the player did not earn a cap.
          Swiss player Robert Luthi played 26 minutes vs. Romania in 1981, 20 minutes vs. Hungary in 1981 and 29 minutes vs. Portugal in 1982.
          Therefore, per Federation rules he was not recognized to have earned a single cap despite taking part in 3 matches.
          He did however, score a goal in the match vs. Romania on October 10, 1981.
          Therefore, he was the only player in the history of Swiss Federation with no caps yet one goal in the record books.

            Name 3 players who were on their country's World Cup player squad 16 years apart.
            The previous answers were Antonio Carbajal, Lothar Matthaus, Hugo Sanchez and Kasey Keller. There is now one more player added to the list.

              During which World Cup Final did fans invade the field prior to the conclusion of the match?

                Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.

                  Correct.

                  Name two countries that have faced each other in 5 consecutive World Cups and the years that it occurred.

                            I remember watching this. It was Josip Šimunić.

                            I don’t blame the ref though. the game was Croatia v Australia. Josip played for Croatia through parental heritage, despite being born and growing up in Melbourne, Australia.

                            Naturally, Josip had an Australian accent. When the ref booked him the third time, he thought it was actually an Australian player, due to the Aussie accent.
