I think this is the last of the big 5 world cup footballers. Zeljko Kalac is the Australian goalkeeper who is 6ft 8in tall. (202cm) Joint tallest in the competition with Jan Koller who plays for Czech Republic.

Wikipedia says: Zeljko Kalac (born December 16th, 1972) is an Australian football (soccer) goalkeeper of Croatian descent, who currently plays for A.C. Milan in Italy’s Serie A. He is nicknamed “Spider” thanks to his height (2.02m) and large armspan.

He is an Australian international, though he has spent many years as understudy to first Mark Bosnich, and more recently Mark Schwarzer. He has been selected as a member of Australia’s 2006 World Cup squad.
