Qualification section
[edit]I'm going to create a qualification page for the tournament. Kingjeff 03:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Knockout phase brackets
[edit]Is there anyway we can create a knockout bracket like the FIFA World Cup 2006 knockout bracket? Kingjeff 20:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I removed all those empty tables at the end, as I found them quite useless. I say wait until you have some data to put in the tables before you put them in the article. Redkind 10:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Playoff
[edit]Hey when is the Japan and Mexican playoff? And shouldn't we place the results —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.139.19.133 (talk) 00:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC).
Adding positions of tournament cities on the map?
[edit]It would be nice to have city positons on the map in addition to names. For the 2006 World Cup, a contour map with dots in the right places was prepared, but here we have a generic China countour map without dots.
Other than preparing a specific map with dots for this competition, it would be nice to automate this display task for any competition using generic contour maps and geo coordinates, the way it was done in the infoboxes of some cities (see Wismar or Olsztyn for examples - the Polish cities show city names and dots, the German - just dots). --Mareklug talk 08:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
own goals: ger - arg
[edit]See in the Fifa match report. They were granted to the Germans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.131.120.52 (talk) 14:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
See FIFA World Cup goals with disputed scorers; cites many occasions when FIFA Match Reports are wrong - sometimes spectacularly (Swi v Rom 94, anybody?) - so better sources are needed. BBC and all resources I've read credit both as own goals. Video is always a more reliable resource. Use video footage on BBC website to confirm. Mjefm 09:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Fair enough, but we should at least have a solid (text) reference. --StuartBrady (Talk) 11:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Would http://www.fifa.com/womenworldcup/matches/round=248549/match=56313/playbyplay.html be okay? I find it curious that FIFA view them as own goals in the play by play page, but not in the match report! --StuartBrady (Talk) 11:10, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- The difference is that the play by play is written by a commentator watching the game (like any of us), and the report is written by the referee at the end of the match. I would stick with the official report. --Scuac 13:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- We don't use official FIFA reports as gospel for men's World Cup. If it's wrong, don't copy it just because it's 'official'. Mjefm 12:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- It would be best if you did not change this until we've reached an agreement. In this case, I would argue that it's FIFA's decision to make. As I understand it, if the ball takes a deflection off a defender or the goal keeper, it's typically judged not to be an own goal. However, if the player was not put under pressure, this is then seen as an own goal. There is a grey area between the two, although in practise, it's pretty clear-cut. However, if FIFA's report is judged to be wrong, I would like to see a few more people agreeing with this change, first. BTW, you would have my vote — in my opinion, FIFA did get it wrong. --StuartBrady (Talk) 12:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, the FIFA report may be wrong, but it is still their official report. For example, imagine that from now on Lingor (GER) scores 5 more goals in the remainder of the tournament, and Marta (BRA) scores 2 more. Who will FIFA give the award of top goal scorer? Will they count two goals for Lingor against Argentina? I.e. will, in FIFA's eyes, Lingor have 6 or 7 goals total? The answer to that question is what we should go by. The bottom line is, sometimes referee's make judgment calls that we don't agree with. Sometimes it is obvious that a player dived, yet they award a penalty. Sometimes goalkeepers produce own goals, yet the referee awards the goal to someone else. It's part of the game. --Scuac 16:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, now I'm being swayed the other way. You are probably right — the match report is wrong, but we should not correct it. We might add a note along with the score, saying that they were widely considered to be own goals by Correa. This is anything but clear-cut, though. :( --StuartBrady (Talk) 17:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
This report [1] doesn't name the corner takers and refers to both as the keeper knocking them in. I don't think either goal can be described as the keeper 'deflecting in a shot', particularly the first. See the disputed goals article for Cris Freddi's digression on FIFA reports and own goals. If a resource is demonstrably wrong its up to us to filter out the errors. Mjefm 13:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Scoring decisions in all sports generally are made by the governing body of the sport. If Jeter boots a ball up the middle that gets scored a hit it is not the place of the newspapers to record it officially as an error. Whether they want to make a note of it or not as a very bad decision by the governing body is up to them. In this case, there are interesting (but speculative) reasons as to why those goals were not recorded as own goals, and if we want to mention all of this I think that is fine. However, I don't think we should be recording them as such.AnnBee 13:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Cautions
[edit]Is there any particular reason that we're not listing cautions (as per the men's world cup articles)? --StuartBrady (Talk) 12:15, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Referee flags
[edit]Just letting people know, I've not been adding flags for referees, because I'm not yet convinced that they belong there. (Other articles don't use them.) Feel free to add them, if you like — I just don't see the point myself, as it seems likely that they'll be removed later on. --StuartBrady (Talk) 14:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Speaking of flags, am I the only one for whom the flag icons have been disappearing and reappearing at random all day? - Ray Radlein 15:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, it's affecting everyone. I had tried to purge a lot of them earlier, with mixed success, but as this is apparently a server load issue, this was probably doing more harm (to the rest of Wikipedia) than good (to the flags). See Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Loads of images (particularly flag images) not showing. --StuartBrady (Talk) 15:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Player Profiles
[edit]Is anybody planning on doing these? Fifa.com has good profiles for many of the players. I realize this is a lot of work. I might be willing to do a few. Is there a standard format for a simple player bio? —Preceding AnnBee 19:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
TV broadcasts?
[edit]Hey, could anyone in the know provide some info as to where in the world one can see the matches? I can't find links at the FIFA web site. It would be nice if a section was started with listings of all TV channels per country, with schedule. (I am in the US).
TIA, --Jerome Potts 04:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- The BBC are showing them in the UK. The England matches are being shown on BBC 2, other matches are on BBCi. --StuartBrady (Talk) 17:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've just checked, and I can't see any regional variations affecting these matches. I can't guarantee that every match can be watched in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, though. --StuartBrady (Talk) 17:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Are you suggesting that we edit into the article a TV schedule? Or are you just asking for your own knowledge? Falastur2 20:29, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- The former. I'd think it can be attempted, supposing many contributors. We don't have to cover the whole world exhaustively, whatever info we'd gather would be better than none, would be an indicator of level of interest and of WP's importance/use in such a matter of information dissemination; it would pbbly cover English-speaking territories (this is en.wikipedia) --Jerome Potts 20:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm. Far be it from me to stop you, but I'm not sure that this is quite in the spirit of Wikipedia articles. For a start, the information will be useless in a fortnight or so, when the tournament ends, whereas Wiki's content is aimed at being useful in the long term. And I'm not sure if it's exactly encyclopædic. But as I say, if others disagree then I'll go with the consensus. And it's a decent idea, too, so no discredit at all. Falastur2 21:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- As prose, it might not be quite so silly — especially if there's a great increase in coverage (you'd need references to back any such statement up, of course), compared to the 2003 world cup. In the UK, there's certainly more coverage, seeing as England have qualified this time! --StuartBrady (Talk) 22:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the friendly responses. I asked the same question in Talk:2007 Rugby World Cup#United States Broadcast.3F, where i got the "is it encyclopedic" answer. Hmm, i dunno, i suppose the section could be removed once stale; or perhaps there would be stuff to be said about the coverage, like a big scandal or praise or what. Oops, 'forgot: in the US, apparently Galavisión shows the games, but with a delay (at 6:00PM CDT). --Jerome Potts 22:27, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Editing Match Report While Game Is Still Being Played
[edit]As per other soccer tournament pages, this is against general wikipedia policy. It seems to lead to a competition for getting the first edit in at each goal, as well as a multitude of minor edits in quick succession. Please wait until the completion of the match before editing details of the match.AnnBee 10:29, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. It's also rather annoying to have scores part-way through the game, with no indication that it's still in progress. Someone might get the times mixed up and assume that the game has already finished — afterall, the match details are filled in, so that must be the result, right? Even worse, the page might get cached by Google in the middle of the game, and then anyone looking at the cache would see incorrect results. While that's not likely, it should (if people are editing properly) be impossible. --StuartBrady (Talk) 10:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- I am guilty of editing the Norway v. China match report while it was still being played. I added the name of a scorer. I agree that the score shouldn't be posted until the match is finished, but would like to point out that there is a rush to edit at the end of the match which also results in a multitude of minor edits. I suppose that one rush is better than several, but I guess I don't see the process as improper. Dkreisst 04:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Attendance figure
[edit]I don't think we should show an attendance figure in the infobox, as we lack the attendance figures for Argentina vs. Japan, USA vs. Sweden, Canada vs. Ghana, Norway vs. Ghana and Denmark vs. New Zealand. I removed it before, but it ever so helpfully added again by 89.50.11.174. Any good reason why I shouldn't remove it? FWIW, the current figure is shown as 630,971, but in reality, it's probably closer to 800,000. --StuartBrady (Talk) 14:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the matches in question seem to be those for which you might expect a fairly low attendance. I'm sure that's entirely coincidental, of course... --StuartBrady (Talk) 14:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Please read with understanding. All the matches with missing attendance figures are first games of doubleheaders, and we have the attendance figures for all 2nd matches of these doubleheaders. Since it is the same figure, it should be added to the article where missing, and the total attendance summed up and posted in the infobox. I watched the games, and the crowd, for example, for the Norway vs. Ghana crowd was (to the naked eye) the same large crowd shown later for the Brazil game that followed in Hangzhou. The count for known for the 2nd game is to be applied to both games, and we don't care about the actual noshows for the first game or those that left early after the first one, since these counts don't and won't exist. --Mareklug talk 17:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thankyou. —StuartBrady (Talk) 18:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I've now added the missing attendance figures (with a <!-- doubleheader --> comment), and updated the overall attendance figures. Does everything look correct? —StuartBrady (Talk) 18:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Chinese/Korean goal scorer full names in match summaries?
[edit]Why are we listing their full names in the match summary? We do not do this for the names of any of the other players for the other teams. We only list first initials if their is an ambiguity.AnnBee 14:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Other world cup articles such as 2006 FIFA World Cup - Group G use this form. It's worth pointing out as well that Chinese/Korean names use the form Family Name - Given name, so if we do list Family Names only, some form of indicator for ambiguous ones would have to be chosen. ie. between Kim Yong Ae and Kim Kyong Hwa. It's also worth noting that a lot of the English speaking world are currently referring to Kim Kyong Hwa by her given name (Hwa) to differentiate her from Kim Yong Ae. 84.64.169.22 15:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- It may also be worth pointing out that the English Wikipedia generally places the given name first, and the surname last, with exceptions. Korean and Chinese names are two such exceptions. Japanese names (except those prior to around 1868) are not exceptions to this rule — they should be written with the given name first, and the surname last, just as an English name would be written. I am unclear on the rules for Spanish and Portuguese names, but we don't appear to make an exception for those, either. --StuartBrady (Talk) 15:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Qualifying countries map
[edit]I don't know how do edit maps, otherwise I would do it myself... Could someone please correct the error in the map that shows the whole of the UK shades while only England qualified for the tournament. Would be great if Scotland or Wales would have made it, too, but alas they didn't. --Krueschan 12:59, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Fixed it. Chandlertalk 16:10, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Assessment comment
[edit]The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:2007 FIFA Women's World Cup/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
So I have no idea what FIFA is. But by looking at the icons I think the sport is Football or Soccar. It would help if this was made clear. |
