I've got another one:

I'm the only man to ever have done this but my achievement can be equalled at this world cup. Who am I, what did I do and (for a bonus) who can equal me?

You're the Italian coach from the 1930s (Pozzo iirc) who is the only manager to have won consecutive/multiple World Cups, an achievement which can be equalled in South Africa by another Italian, Marcelo Lippi.

Yup, Vittorio Pozzo managed Italy to glory in 34 & 38 and remains the only man to have ever manged two world cup winning sides. Was consecutive but that wasn't part of me question, as it happened.

Can indeed be equalled this time by Lippi but also by Carlos Alberto Parreira, who managed Brazil to glory in 94 and takes the reigns of the hosts this time around.
