    No. Surprisingly they are the third highest with 1,059 international caps.

    Very close! They are the second-bottom with just 392 international caps. The answer will surprise a few I think.

    It's not a bad guess actually….but no. England have just 626 international caps, with an average of 18 per player.

    I would like to point out, my 4 previous answers are not just wild stabs in the dark, i do have some logic behind all my guesses, just not very good logic obviously.......

    England was definitely worth a shout. We've got a relatively young squad, so by logic, less international caps. I've got a bonus question up my sleeve for England caps. that I'll reveal once someone gets this right!

    We have a winner! Correct! Algeria have just 364 international caps, making them the most inexperienced squad at the World Cup. Algeria's most capped player is Mehdi Lacen with 29 international appearances, compare that to Spain who have five with over 100.

    I think I'm all out of questions now. Unless you want to guess, to the nearest whole numbe, the average age of a player at this summer's World Cup…?
