Cristiano Ronaldo might want to forget his last match against Austria. Missed a penalty, tried repeatedly but failed to score. However, the match was a great achievement for him.  That was his 128^th appearances for Portugal. In that match, he exceeds Luis Figo (127) the record of Portugal’s most international matches. Now he is the most appearances holder for Portugal national football team. Undoubtedly a big achievement. But Portuguese skipper is lot more behind than the all time record of worldwide. In this aspect, Asia and Africa’s team ahead lot more. There is only one European player in the top ten. However, Spain’s Iker Casillas played 167 and he has a good chance of coming up in the top five.
