There were two - I guess you mean Caniggia, who scored in the semi-final, but David Platt also scored against him in the 3rd/4th place game.

haha oh yeah i forgot that, who remembers the 3rd place playoff neway (walks away embarresed hoping ppl usually forget the 3rd place playoff game)

this question is tricky, can u give a clue? what year was it in? ill guess on pele for now just coz he scored a shitload of goals as a 17 yr old.

Correct

Who is the only substitute to score a hat-trick in a World Cup Finals game?

Laszlo Kiss (Hungary) vs El Salvador in WC 1982.

I could be wrong, but i think this was the fastest hat-trick in history with something like 7 minutes was taken to score all the three goals.

Who is the only player to score a hat-trick in successive World Cup finals?

oh god im going on a guess here but ill say Gabriel Batistuta. i know he got one in 94 against greece and argentina did well in 98 so ill just go with that. its so tempting to look it up but then thered be no point to having a quiz.

neway heres a little novelty question while someone answers the other one:

what were the betting odds on the brisbane strikers to win the NSL in the year they won 96/97?
