German soccer giants, Newa, will be in the World Cup stage on Wednesday (23) to show again. If he plays in the next three games, he will break the World Cup record for the number of appearances by a goalkeeper, and the German "goalkeeper" is expected to write a new chapter in history in the group stage.
Newa, who now plays for Bayern Munich, has been a key part of the German team since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and helped the team win the World Cup in 2014. Newa has made 16 World Cup appearances so far.
In World Cup history, the goalkeepers with the most appearances belong to Brazil's Teferu and Germany's Mea, both of whom have 18 World Cup appearances to their credit. Newa will have a chance to set this record if he can play all the remaining three group games.
However, Newa's sole possession of this honor also depends on the outcome of Germany's match against Uruguay. This is because Uruguay's goalkeeper, Messina, who also has 16 World Cup appearances under his belt, has also been selected for the current Uruguay national team.
