Talk:FIFA World Cup/Archive 1

3323:(1) If the page is about the competition, its actual name right now should matter. If it's about its history, its previous names (if any) should matter. Either way, you've still provided zero sources on it not having been called the FIFA World Cup before 1974, nor any actual arguments against this at all. (Oh yes, and before I forget - most local organisers/promoters seem to have billed the tournament as the "World Championship" rather than the "World Cup" prior to 1966, irrespective of FIFA's own nomenclature. Would you argue none of those should be classed as World Cup tournaments?) And I notice you keep editing your earlier submissions to change the facts - not a good sign. Why is the ball thing relevant anyway? (2) I didn't say French had *never* been FIFA's working language, just that it wasn't now. The congress you mention took place in 1913, Woolfall died in 1918; by 1928, Rimet was in charge and the idea of an official language for FIFA had apparently been put aside. Nowadays FIFA uses an English motto ("for the good of the game"), runs its website in four major languages (with English first on the list), is based in a German-speaking part of Switzerland with German-speaking president and support staff, and the official language of the 2006 tournament itself will be German. That doesn't mean that "Coupe du Monde 2006" is somehow unofficial, as that will be its official name in Francophone countries, but to suggest any translation of the name is more or less official than another is both incorrect, and largely irrelevant for the English-language wikipedia. (3) Obviously FIFA promote the retroactive use of "FIFA World Cup" for commercial reasons, but really their motives are irrelevant - we're having a debate over what the tournament's name is, the organisers themselves say it's FIFA World Cup and has always been FIFA World Cup, and you're saying we should ignore this... what you're saying, basically, is that you know better than FIFA. 1585:

dialect being spoken, if and when the listener and speaker of a different dialect is well aware of and understands the alternate meaning. Oxford recognizes non-British standards of usage throughout the Anglophony as being equally legitimate and proper linguistic varieties, since living language is organic and non-static. British English itself has an astounding variety of dialect variance, even within England alone, a level of sub-regional divergence surpassing that of other English-speaking nations. That is not to mention England's incredibly swift and dramatic linguistic evolution over the past two centuries, in some instances the standard so-called "BBC English" and "Received Pronunciation" being farther from polite English speech circa 1700 than that currently spoken in America. But of course, we both know your original observation had far more to do with arrogance, insult, and dialectical games, than it had to do with any honest, intellectual discussion of English diction.

2743:, the old "ringers" accusation is largely a fantasy, and the descent of some of the players does absolutely nothing to "counterbalance" the solidity of anything. The fact is they did not learn to play football in Britain; they were merely born in Britain, came to America at very young ages, and learned to play in the States. Some of them later went on to play in European leagues, but only after the World Cup. There were all perfetly legitimate American nationals who played for their home country, and used their country's footballing skills to achieve the final result. The United States was not a week footballing nation at that time, and the persistent idea born by some that these players necessarily had to have been "imports" in order for the States to secure such a final standing is a product of mostly modern bias/confusion regarding the history of Associaton Football in the USA. 1390:. You're quite right, there is no dispute as to the allocation of points in 1950. But using your own criteria, there also was never any specific determination of 3rd place in 1950 based on said points, only the determination of overall winner. Based on your own logic (or lack thereof), points are irrelevent for determining 3rd Place in 1950 because 3rd Place "simply did not exist," as you put it. You can rank points, but using your own arguments, that is just an arbitrary statistic, like ranking the height of players. Therefore, any declaration of overall placements beyond first place winner, based on points earned in final group play, is just as much a "Retrospective anaylsis using criteria that were not present in 1930." 3343:

is now retorspectively applied by FIFA as I noted earlier, and the book you cite was published very recently. FIFA now regularly pursue through the legal processes anyone using the worlds WORLD CUP for commercial gain without recognizing FIFA's trademark. Regarding my edits, I noticed that the official ball one tournament after I had originally suggested also did NOT have FIFA written on it, so I edited that and marked it as such, other than that I cleaned up my appalling spelling and typos and tightened the wording, that edit (you will note) came 1 minute after your reply to the previous version ogf that para. I hadn't seen your response and I was suprised to find that it hadn't been caught in an edit-conflict.

3238:. It was only following this competition that 'FIFA' became firmly prefixed to name of the tournament itself. This is because after the '98 tournament, FIFA began an aggressive worldwide campaign of trademarking all possible variations of "FIFA World Cup"; including the retrospective use of "19XX FIFA World Cup" for previous competitions. Only from roughly 1999/2000 do you start to see "FIFA World Cup" all over the place. Regarding this page - if no disambiguation was needed this page would be at "World Cup", but we need to disambiguate the sport, so it is at Football World Cup, just like on French Knowledge (XXG) where it is at "Coupe du monde de football" and not "Coupe du monde de football de la FIFA" - 697:

title of this page has been discussed ad nauseum. It was agreed that "Football World Cup" was the better title. Agree or not, that's what the conscensus is (and not a "very small minority" like you think). Just because you dissagree, doesn't give you the right to wipe out the history and move the page. If you want to re-open the discussion, fine. But yours is NOT the final decision. A lot of work has been put in by many people to create the "Football World Cup" structure on many pages of this site. Moving the page is easy, but its effects are a bit larger than you think. Perhaps a little higher understanding of Knowledge (XXG) is needed before you go on this crusade. --

the Jules Rimet Cup by the time Brazil won it in 1970. (Note that at no point in history has the trophy ever been called the "Football World Cup"). The *competition*, though, has *always* been organised by FIFA, and *always* officially been called the "FIFA World Cup", even if the local organisers sometimes used other phrases like "World Championship of Football" or what have you in their promotional material. See the poster for France '38, which quite clearly has "FIFA" and "Coupe du Monde 1938" printed on it in big letters.

328:

use for qualification isn't whatever phrase happens to turn up more often in google, but whatever is going to give a clearer understanding of what the article is actually about. The fact that "FIFA World Cup" turns up more often than "football World Cup" doesn't mean anything, for one thing the results are skewed because the XBox and Playstation game is called "FIFA World Cup". "FIFA World Cup" doesn't tell us anthing about what the sport is unless you know what FIFA means, and as the search for

2306:, I respect your very reasonable proposal for a temporary fix, and since you have indicated it need not be exactly in the form currently presented, please allow me to make a suggestion: it appears you place USA and Yugoslavia sharing 4th place, which is awkward and makes little sense under the arguments being made here; instead, you should merge the two cells together into a broad one, containing everything, as opposed to putting the explanatory note under "1st" and the two flags under "4th." 1238:

a decision based on the number of corners or free kicks or penalties or players sent off or what?!? The answer is that the question cannot be answered. Nobody got 3rd place because the competition did not have any rules for deciding how. Basically there was no 3rd place in 1930, it's as simple as that. The rankings you have shown are provided purely as additional statistical information, using criteria that didn't exist as far as the organisers of the 1930 tournament were concerned.

244:) means the 'world cup of football' 99 times out of 100. Therefore specifically saying "football world cup" doesn't appear as often as you might expect. The fact that a search for the words "world cup" without any mention of FIFA but specifically linked to the word "football" gives such a huge hit rate is an indicator that the "World Cup" of football is mentioned much more often than any specific mention of the "FIFA World Cup". In fact just to ram home the point a search for 2550: 2181: 31: 639:

but, hypothetically, if we assume, for the sake of argument, that the most commonly known name for the tournament in the Republic of South Africa is "Soccer World Cup," then it is easy to imagine how a South African football fan might come to believe that everyone else in the world thinks of it that way as well, much as an American might not be aware that the name "Soccer" is far less popular name than "football" for describing that sport.

2598:

has decided that USA is ranked 3rd place, 3. whether or not a 3rd place match was actually organized and defaulted by Yugoslavia. I am currently writing to FIFA, and to the US National Soccer Hall of Fame, to see if I can obtain a more informed opinion on this matter. Their response can have a considerable impact on this article, but until an official word is obtained, I believe the above suggestions are the most reasonable.

2537: 2165: 3234:. As you point out there are various terms used for the name of the competition in different languages, and yet FIFA is not mentioned at all. Please be aware that the title has always been "Coupe Du Monde" and 'World Cup' is the most usual and natural English translation of this. As recently as 1998 only "Coupe Du Monde" appears on the official logo for the 1998 World Cup with no mention of FIFA at all, see 906:

also think "FIFA World Cup" might make more sense (but then, look at pages in other languages, most of them include "football" or its variety). It just doesn't make sense with the way other World Cup pages, categories, squad lists, etc are set up. This one change will cascade down a lot. But I do appretiate your earnestness and hope that you can contribute to the football (soccer) pages on Knowledge (XXG). --

2517: 2145: 1861:- it was presented to a member of the Argentina squad - but if you read the details you will see that the medal were paid for by a certain Dr. Buero (NOT FIFA) and given to the players of the Argentina. Dr. Buera turns out to be Enrique Buera, a Uruguayan diplomat. He was the Uruguayan ambassador to Belgium when he was approached by Jules Rimet with the idea of hosting the torunament in Uruguay. 2954:

advance, historical importance (due to the 1930 edition) or not. Especially considering that Uruguay could never host a tournament that has ballooned into the massive worldwide competition that the World Cup is now, and wasn't in '30. Can anyone actually prove this is indeed true, or that this listing, as I believe merely someone hoping against logical thought FIFA will award it to Uruguay.

2338:. Some reputable historical references indicate this decision was based on goal difference (US National Soccer Hall of Fame), whilst others claim that Yugoslavia also defaulted by refusing to play (see numerous independently translated versions of this article). Regardless of what criteria was actually used, multiple FIFA sources confirm the fact of USA's 3rd placement. 2281:*At the same time, it would be wrong to exclude them from table altogether. They came top of their groups and reached the tournament semi-finals, fair and square. By the rules of the tournament at that time, by which they played, they were in the top four teams. It would be unfair to exclude them from the table, when the top four of every other tournament are included. 1894:

1930. Subsequent ranking schemes based upon criteria that didn't exist in 1930 are irrelevant. I am becoming very bored with continually having to revert the rantings and ravings of an anon user who has not provided us with any firm evidence to support his claim that USA were awarded 3rd place. If such FIRM evidence is provided I will be the first to acknowlede it.

2353:

and Yugoslavia, or if no official determination had ever been made, then these nations would necessarily have shared 3rd place, as it is impossible for the spot to be considered vacant where at least 3 team participated in the tournament (as impossible as it would be for 2nd place to be considered "vacant" or "non-existant," since the losing team is

repetition as a retort), and trying to pass mine and other people's already stated arguments as if they were your own, as if you in your wisdom were finally putting the rest of us thick-headed imbeciles in our place, with a great air of indignation, and attempting to make some sort of heated argument out of thin air, much as you do with everything.

3299:".. on 21 May 1904, seven European nations, among them Switzerland, signed the foundation act of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. They appointed as its President a Frenchman, Robert Guérin, and a little later FIFA chose French as its official language, doing so under the Presidency of an Englishman, Daniel Burley Woolfall." 750:

viewpoints with an open mind, and either concede these or otherwise retort said viepoints with sensible counter-argument as opposed to simple negation, nor D. the inability to convince one particularly vocal opponent to the majority (Btw, in none of these statements am I refering to you ;oP), outweighs the opinion of other members.

2691:, and being a reasonable person, I am willing to accept compromise rather than impose the solution I had originally preferred, but I certainly do not resort to evading those facts I do not like, and then passing off an incomplete list as if it were a final, comprehensive, and intellectually honest analysis, when it is not. 3230:. This is because the competition was not offically the 'FIFA World Cup' until very recently. The name 'FIFA World Cup' began as the "official" name of the new trophy when it was commisioned in 1971, and as such, it was used in various promotional material; only later was it used as the name of the tournamant. Look at the 2687:" conveniently and selectively ignores those "facts" you wish to ignore, like the fact that an official FIFA source states a 3rd place ranking, in direct contradiction to your claim that no criteria existed in 1930. Of course, I do accept, given certain links you have provided, that the official sources offer 3408:

is absolutely irrelevant: (1) this World Cup and that World Cup are entirely unrelated, so we don't have to treat the various "World Cup" article titles as if they were a series, and (2) nobody says "IRB World Cup" anyway, they always put the word "Rugby" in there. If anything, that article should be

3188:

Can we put this particular canard to bed? There's a difference between the competition itself and the actual trophy you get for winning it. The new trophy, which debuted in 1974, is indeed called the FIFA World Cup, while the previous trophy was simply called the World Cup, though it had been renamed

2659:

Using modern criteria (i.e. goal difference) Yugoslavia's performance may be ranked 4th best. But this is like saying Gore won the 2000 election because he had more of the popular vote. The statistic is irrelevant. Yugoslavia did not finish 4th in the tournament; they finished, along with the USA, as

2382:

Since I have provided this compelling, though unofficial evidence (physical medals on display), the burden of proof rests on those who would argue that FIFA awarded this ranking retrospectively. It has been shown that FIFA did not officially utilize goal differential or goal average until later World

At the same time, it would be wrong to exclude them from table altogether. They came top of their groups and reached the tournament semi-finals, fair and square.

which clearly states "... FIFA decided that goal average would count, a first-ever" in the 1962 competition. For the Nth time - the list of rankings that you have provided is a retrospective ranking using criteria that did not exist in 1930 (or indeed in the later competitions up until 1962). In 1930

1458:

in discussions. It's has a different meaning in British English to American English. Put simply again - Criteria for determining 3rd and 4th did not exist in 1930, retrospective analysis is irrelevant. The burden of proof is for you to find "official sources or provide any proof to back up your claim

1237:

The bald fact is that in 1930 there was no decision about 3rd or 4th place. Did the USA and Yugoslavia share 3rd place because they had the same number of points, or did the USA get 3rd because they had the better goal average (goal difference is a more recent statistic AFAIK) or would they have made

1053:

There is no 5th or 6th place match, nor a 7th and 8th, nor a 30th and 32nd, and yet all of these standings exist. The absence of a specific 3rd place match is completely irrelevant. The objective and indesputable fact is that every single one of the 32 national teams is officially ranked from 1 to 32

905:

Well, it was not a decision to change the page name. The discussion last took place in August, and no change has been made since then. No consensus was reached, no matter what this talk page might say. Since August, further changes have been made to make this move more complex than it seems. Again, I

3342:

You're putting the onus on me to prove a negative. I have provided evidence that the phrase "World Cup" was often used without being prefixed by "FIFA" before 1971, but the onus is on you to prove that the phrase "FIFA World Cup" was ever used before 1971 when the new trophy was commissioned. Yes it

Unfortunatly I do not speak Spanish so I cannot verify this site but the jist of it is pretty obvious. If someone who speaks Spanish could check it out and get confirmation though, that would be helpful. I see the logic in awarding it 25 in advance becuase as you pointed out Uruguay doesn't have the

Please Jooler, Grow up, and stop making everthing into a personal grudge match. Also please note that I have not edited the article in over a month, possibly two (I have not checked the exact date), and I did not post the current version of the table, which has been up for a similar time without any

2603:

Finally, while this matter is being settled, the page should reflect the facts and figures found in numerous official and unofficial sources I linked, as they are currently the best data that have been offered so far, and until better info or an opposing consensus is reached, I am restoring the page

2452:

In the event that most people here should disagree with the view that FIFA's ranking must determine the table's values, then I believe we should adopt the alternative proposal by Qwghlm and myself, and already agreed to by the international Wiki community, to depict USA and Yugoslavia as sharing 3rd

2398:

Therefore, I highly dispute the notion that said rankings are "academic" and not worthy of inclusion for that reason. They are what they are, and they are official, and they therefore stand. Theories and conjectures as to why FIFA awards this ranking, and when it first awarded it, shoud be voiced in

1759:

I would invite you to come back when you have dispensed with the intellectual lethargy, but I know that will not happen, so I merely inform you that this debate is pointless. I will continue to provide additional data if and when I find it, to help settle this matter and erase ambiguities. But based

Goal difference is a modern invention. Formely a scheme of goal average was used in such matters. For example if two teams have the same points; suppose team A scored a total of 3 goals and conceded 1 goal, whilst team B scored 6 goals and conceded 3 - their positions position under one scheme would

1251:

The bald fact is that there WAS a decision about 3rd and 4th place, just no MATCH for 3rd or 4th place, because the bald fact you do not seem to comprehend, though it has already been explained to you once, is that every single nation that participates in a World Cup is ranked, EVERY single one, not

1038:

The fact there was no 3rd place match in 1930 is a poor argument to exclude the two losing semifinalists from the table, considering that for 1950 Brazil, Sweden, and Spain are traditionally respected and recognized for their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place general standings, despite the fact that NEITHER a

611:

But of course, that would be nonsensical, as these associated names/terms are most definitely not associated in the literal sense of forming an intergral part of the name/title of the tournament; they are merely associated conceptually, and as a result, they are also associated in the frequency with

377:

You seriously haven't given a good enough reason why if a name is used more often, it shouldn't be used. It's a self-contradiction. If "FIFA World Cup" has more hits, obviously people use it more, hence it is more likely to be better known than "football World Cup". As it is, "football World Cup"

327:

Which precisely prooves the point. The words "World Cup" and "football" are associatied much more often than "FIFA" and "World Cup". But they arn't neccesarily used in a single phrase because no qualification is usually neccesary. But in Knowledge (XXG) we need to have qualification. What is best to

The article size implementation is to reduce needlessly large files into more manageable sizes.

Also, while we're at it, this stuff about the tournament's "real" name being in French "Coupe du Monde" is wrong, too; there's no justification for saying any one language takes precedence over any other.

Croatia was named as a debutant because of their preference to independence while Serbia/Montenegro hailed itself as the direct successor of Yugoslavia. Even so, you mean to tell me that we're

Looking through the article I see that Uruguay has been listed as hosts for the 2030 World Cup, I find this hard to believe myself, I am an avid football fan and yet have never heard any word or evidence about this at all, and it would be incredibly strange for FIFA to award a World Cup 25 years in

resons or timeframe for FIFA's determination of the current rankings, the only thing which can be asserted as "fact" is that the FIFA rankings actually depict USA 3rd and Yugoslavia 4th, anything else is conjecture, including the idea that USA players "didn't know" they achieved 3rd place in 1930.

2378:

The fact is that FIFA ranks them that way, we do not officially know why, and to argue why or why not is speculation, unless additional evidence can be presented, and as of yet, the only evidence provided as to the reason is the link I provided to an unofficial but reputable source, indicating that

2352:

As a side note, even if 3rd place had never been awarded to any team in a formal ceremony, it would have existed as a fact of tournament standings, the only applicable question being which country(ies) occupied said spot. Hypothetically, if no rule had existed to break the tie in points between USA

1950:

Excuse me, but I am only a Wiki rookie. I don't know how to make a flag icon of Image:Italy_flag_1861.png, because this is the flag of Italy during the 1930's when it played two World Cup finals (1934 and 1938). I have already updated the 1934 and 1938 world cup files, but I cannot change this file

3. Your citations merely indicate when goal average and differential were employed as a standard, i.e., as part of the Rule of the Game.

I apologize for any grief I have unwittingly caused. This has been a learning experience.

Although I agree that "FIFA World Cup" might make more sense, you cannot move this on a whim. As you say, "Major Edits, such as article title, especially if they are being debated in the discussion page, should NOT be made without announcement or a detailed explanation". Well, that is the case. The

It is easy for one to confuse a local usage with greater popular usage. For example, in the ceremony announcing the selection of South Africa as the hoast for 2010, I noticed a very high incidence of South African delegates using the term "Soccer World Cup." I cannot speak from presonal experience,

351:

I disagree. I think it's far better to call it by its official name. Most people who knows football instantly knows what is the "FIFA World Cup", we don't need coined-up terms like "Motor-racing Formula 1". "Football World Cup" is a portmaneau term simply invented to fit in the scheme. I prefer

I maintain that SCG are making their debut in the 2006 World Cup. The Yugoslavia of 1930, indeed the Yugoslavia of 1992, is not the Serbia and Montenegro of 2005. The nation is new, technically and literally, and has never qualified in its current state before. It is making its first appearance in

Personally, I find such an activity far too mundane to warrant engaging in some sort of silly ego contest with someone whom I only know as a little black SN on my computer screen; I'm only interested in the topic, and in finding out the truth, through examination of my own sources of evidence, and

2597:

Clearly, there are certain issues here and theories surrounding what are "facts," which deserve further investigation, and which cannot be resolved with discussion. Namely, it remains to be resolved 1. why there is an exhibit claiming to display 3rd place medals won by the USA in 1930, 2. why FIFA

2425:

There is already an international consensus in the foreign language versions of this article, of the opinion that the USA should be ranked in 3rd place. The following show USA sharing 3rd place with Yugoslavia: German, Italian, Swedish, Polish. The following show USA in 3rd place and Yugoslavia in

2394:

These are, of course, unverified claims, and not evidence, but they do go to show that there exist multiple scenarios in which the USA could have been awarded 3rd place honors in 1930 without it necessarily being a retroactive ruling. And, because we cannot, as of this point, determine the factual

2390:

Additionally, looking to unofficial sources, there is strong indication that an unconventional ruling was made, some claiming that it was based on goal difference, even if it was not a standard practice and was not in the books, and others claiming FIFA actually DID organize a 3rd place match, but

2285:

I could not agree more. That has been my central thesis from the very beginning, and I am glad someone else has finally backed me up and vindicated the intellectual worth of this proposition. All of my other previous arguments have been supplementary to that point. That is the core expressed in my

1300:

I say again, in 1930 there was no provision for determining who got 3rd place. Retrospective anaylsis using criteria that were not present in 1930 cannot be applied rationally. In 1950 the situration was different. The four team that won their groups played in a final grouping of four and finished

834:

I never assumed it was my final decision, as I am nowhere near that arrogant. I assumed, by the evidence in this talk page, that the final decision had been taken, and only one person was arguing to keep the "Football "" "" title (in a rather closed-minded and condescending fashion, by the way). I

I've done some research on this issue, but postponed it because there are very few sources on waht the state flag was for the KofY/KofSCS. I assumed that the flag with the crest was a naval/presidential flag, because not too many national flags carry a crest on it. I guess that source is the most

on the grounds that that's the official name? My own opinion is that I see no reason why this page shouldn't be at the official title, when that's the standard for so many other articles on Knowledge (XXG). It's not confusing, and there's nothing special about the phrase "Football World Cup" that

A laughable and very hypocritical statement. The personal attacks have emanated from you, consistently, from the very beginning. I have tried to deal with your barrage of hostility as politely as humanly possible, and have only called you out to observe whenever you fabricated a controversy where

499:

There is obviously not going to be an agreement on this, so I see no further point in continuing this discussion and re-stating the same facts over and over again. But I will make one final point. Before the new trophy was created in 1971, the competuition was known as the "World Cup" without any

for some other sport. A simple way out: at the disambigation page simple state that FIFA World Cup is the World Cup for the sport of football or soccer. A person checking for World Cup will then know what it is. No one seriously will type "football World Cup" first time round because it is not

3262:

Not so, but whatever the case was before it certainly IS called that now, beyond a shadow of a doubt. I don't actually care where this page is located, but to state that it was only named "FIFA World Cup" in 1974 (or 1998, 1972, or whatever else it was you made your mind up for it to be) is just

The fact that the word "football" is associated with "World Cup" in a generic sense has absolutely nothing to do with whether these words are associated in a TITLE, a proper name. Using your logic, I could very easily argue that terms/names such as "Pele," "Maradona," "Goal," "Red Card," "Yellow

2. That is a superfluous double-standard. There is no "officlal" status for 1950 second, third, or fourth place either, going by your erroneous definition of "official," only a DE FACTO status accorded by the mathematical fact of their final standing in points and stage advancement.

I disagree and agree! The name Serbia and Montenegro is making its debut, but it is the same territory as Yugoslavia was in 1998. I agree though it is different to the Yugoslavia team that play in finals between 1930 and 1990. I have amended the article explaining this.

qualification it is only since the new trophy was made in 1971 that the competiton has been known as the "FIFA World Cup", so to refer to the 1930 FIFA World Cup etc.. through to 1970 is just plain wrong. Only from 1974 onwards should you refer to the FIFA World Cup.

The bald fact that utterly destroys your claim is that there was no final or third place match played in 1950 either, and their ranking is no more "official" (by your peculiar standard), yet you don't seem to mind including Brazil, Spain, and Sweden in the table.

For the World Cup, goal average was not introduced into the scheme of calculating the relative positions of teams until 1962. There are numerous references to this.

When I originally brought this topic up for debate, I proposed multiple alternative solutions, several of which are now being echoed in this discussion, including:

3701:

I like the split, the article is cleaner, although maybe the "Top 5" appearances (or some kind of summary) should still stay in the article for information sake.

2372:

For the reasons already stated, I do not consider it a valid statement that a match must be contested in order for there to be official recognition of placement.

185:"FIFA World Cup" is better. There are far more hits for "FIFA World Cup" than "football World Cup" - 700, 000 vs 50, 000, so it's not true it's not better known. 1416:, from 1st to last place, then BOTH 1950 AND 1930 had a mathematical 3rd place, even if it was not specifically awarded. You can't have your cake and eat it too. 1508:. Dictionaries aside, I also know from my B.A in English Literature that the overwhelming literary precedent in both Britain and America demonstrates said fact. 2810:

Why put them in the 3rd/4th place if there isn't a way to determine? Shouldn't it say that there wasn't a 3rd place game where the teams in questioned are?

3258:(Actually I think it is called the "IRB Rugby World Cup", but that's by the by. This tournament's official title, on the other hand, IS "FIFA World Cup".) 2002:

However, in the final group of the 1950 WC, all teams played each other, so in that case, the 3rd/4th distinction is an official one decided at that time.

3514:

I think that the number of appearances for Germany and West Germany should be combined since it is really the same national soccer association. kingjeff

From my understanding, FIFA only intended to do this so Africa could get a World Cup. Therefore, they'll stop after the 2014 World Cup in South America.

has a point. Maybe moving to "FIFA World Cup" just the ones from 1974 onwards and this article? OTOH, I can see people getting confused... Any Ideas? --

3256:

Yes it has always been organised by FIFA, but the World Cup or Rugby is organized by the IRB that does not make the official title the "IRB World Cup".

2555: 2322: 2185: 1100:

2. Yes FIFA did not issue any medals. However several commemorative medals were made by various parties, and you can pick some of them up on Ebay -

1439:

4. Your are ignoring official sources, failing to back yourself up, and imposing your own subjective opinions and theories as if they were "facts."

1255:

The bald fact is that you do not appear to read very well, and you fail miserably to refute several good arguments, ignoring them at your leisure.

3491: 1114:

1. False. Officially, ALL teams in the final, be they 32 or 28 or 16 or however many, have a ranking in final standings. You confuse a 3rd place

I don't think I misunderstand you. It's true "World Cup" almost always mean "World Cup of football" 99 times out of 100, but what I mean is the

3272:

or working language, and "Coupe du Monde" is not any more the official name than "World Cup", "Mundial", "Weltmeisterschaft" or whatever else.

2375:

Furthermore, Qwghlm's statement that criteria was applied "retroactively" and that the players were "not aware" is conjectural, not factual.

644:

I believe that your conception of the supposed popularity of "Football World Cup" vs. "FIFA World Cup" falls under a similar misconception.

287:

As you said, "World Cup" almost always means the footballing World Cup, but it's very seldom the generic term "football World Cup" is used.

2406:

But despite these disagreements, even Qwghlm admits that USA and Yugoslavia deserve recognition, on general principle, and I agree 100%.

1480:

Put simply, even if said criteria did not exist in 1930, hypothetically speaking, then USA and Yugoslavia shared 3rd place on tied points.

814:

I did no such thing; I move the page whilst conserving the discussion history, by checking the appropriate box during the moving process.

2912:

As it stands, it seems we finally arrived at a nice, reasonable compromise, so I hope you and everyone else has a very pleasant evening.

2341:

I will concede that the phrase "FIFA officially awarded 3rd place medals to USA" can be modified. What I should have said is merely that

1334:

1. You fail to cite any official sources or provide any proof to back up your claim regarding what criteria did or did not exist in 1930.

This was the final standings with Sweden finishing 3rd with 2 points and Spain finishing 4th with 1 point. Of this there is no argument.

Be it standard practice or not, in 1930, that method, or some method, was selected to settle the unforseen outcome.

Unless you are prepared to erase Brazil, Sweden, and Spain from the table, don't mess with USA and Yugoslavia.
