20 Players with most World Cup appearances

[post_page_title]Per Mertesacker, Germany – 19[/post_page_title]
Per Mertesacker retired from playing soccer just a few weeks ago. He was a vital part of the German national team for many years and took them to three World Cups from 2006 to 2014. Although he was not a quick player, he made up for this with always being in the right place at the right time, and his towering figure meant he would win almost all headers that came his way. Mertesacker was a part of the German team that lifted during the last World Cup in 2014.
