Talk:Football at the Summer Olympics

Bill Mallon's False Statement

It is correct there are no contemporary reports about the Demonstration football match which took place as part of the 1896 Olympic Games in Athens. However, in that time, the order from the 1896 Olympic organizing committee was not to mention the sports which were contested unofficially during the 1896 Olympics (such as football). And that is why the football game was not reported anywhere. So Bill Mallon is wrong when he says that match did not take place. There was a long thorough research made about this topic and they still found evidence. 147.235.208.49 (talk) 23:58, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

United States Men's Medals:

In the Participating Nations table, it shows they only won 1 Silver.

In the Medal Table, it shows that they won 1 Silver and 1 Bronze.

Please check factual accuracy.

That is because US teams won their silver and bronze in the same games. Maybe the bronze could be added somehow in the same cell as their silver in the participating nations table. 85.217.21.143 (talk) 04:45, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Why was East Germany combined with Germany, West Germany, and United Germany? Arguably these should be three different teams on the medals table, but at the very least it should be two teams, with Germany and West Germany being one team and East Germany being another. It's not fair they get to have two teams competing at the same games. These were separate countries and should be counted as such. In spite of some Germans trying to make themselves feel better by combining medal totals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.70.62.145 (talk) 12:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

It was Partho pratim upadhyay who brought that error into the article just one day before your comment, [1]. It is reverted now and FIFA decides how to handle it, not any Wikipedia-editors.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 09:37, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
