Youngest captain
21 years and 316 days, Tony Meola, (Image:Flag of the United States.svg USA, vs Czechoslovakia, June 10, 1990, 1990 FIFA World Cup).<ref>According to RSSSF's 1994 World Cup page, Fuad Amin of Saudi Arabia would have been the youngest captain, at 21-250 in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, but the source does not specify the match in which he was captain. It is listed that the starting captain was substituted in both the match against the Netherlands and the one against Sweden, in which Amin may have been given the armband on the captains' substitutions, but this information has not been verified. In any case, Meola still is the youngest starting captain, and players who received the captain's armband during the course of the match are generally not regarded as official captains.</ref>

A FIFA report, however, indicates that Taylor participated in another match after that date, again versus St. Kitts and Nevis, on March 31 2004, breaking his own record. If the age listed in the "Superlatives" (PDF) file corresponds to the February match, then in accordance with the match report from March the actual record would be 40 years and 222 days.</ref>
