    "120 Steven Davis became Northern Ireland's most-capped international when he made his 120th appearance for the Green and White Army in their UEFA EURO qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday."

    He's 35. He played in two Nations League games after that to make 122, and Wikipedia says he's tied for the 146th most caps in world history, tied for the 29th most caps among active players, and tied for the 11th most caps among active players for UEFA teams. Ahmed Hassan, whose last cap was in 2012, has the record with 184 caps for Egypt, but four active players have at least 175. Gianluigi Buffon has the UEFA record with 176, but Sergio Ramos is 1 behind.
