Džeko turned 40 this March, and three other older players are expected at the World Cup. They are Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who will play in the World Cup at the full age of 41. Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985. In second place is an icon of the World Cup, a man who "appears" every four years and shines, then "disappears" from the big stage. Of course, that is the Mexican icon, goalkeeper Guillermo Memo Ochoa, born in July 1985. The third oldest player at the World Cup will be Luka Modrić. Once the best footballer in the world, he will lead Croatia in this World Cup as well, and he was born in September 1985. Lionel Messi is in fifth place. For many, the best footballer of all time will participate in his fifth World Cup (the same as Ronaldo and Ochoa), and he was born in June 1987.
