No reference to 1906 Summer Olympics which were later renamed 1906 Intercalated Games

Should this not be included, even though IOC retrospectively changed its status? The results were as follows:

Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Netherlands and France withdrew before the competition

- Semi-Finals:

(Match 1) Denmark 5-0 Smyrna (Ottoman Empire)

(Match 2) Athens (Kingdom of Greece) 6-0 Thessalonika (Ottoman Empire)

- Final:

Denmark 9-0 Athens (Kingdom of Greece), match abandoned at half-time due to Athens withdrawl, awarded to Denmark 9-0

- Match for Silver:

Athens refused to play Smyrna (best Semi-Final loser), therefore both Semi-Finals losers held silver-bronze play-off: Smyrna (Ottoman Empire) 3-0 Thessalonika (Ottoman Empire)

MEDAL TABLE

Gold - Denmark

Silver - Ottoman Empire

Bronze - Ottoman Empire

Amateurism in British football

I've altered the reference to amateur status being abolished by the British associations in 1974 to the (English) FA only, as it certainly continues to exist in Scotland to this day, along with a bewildering array of other registration types: Junior, juvenile etc. I don't what the situation is or was relating to Wales or Northern Ireland, although I'm presuming they wouldn't have changed at the same time as England, if at all. So if anyone can clarify further, that would be just dandy. -- Jellyman 11:40, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Olympic medals in national football team articles

There is debate on the pages of some nft articles as to whether Olympic medals since WWII ought to be included. I have argued that (and I acknowledge that this would not be the case for teams from continents other than Europe and S America in 1984/1988) since Berlin 1936 Olympic competition has not been open to full national sides, and those pages are intended to deal specifically with full national sides. Any opinions here? Kevin McE 22:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One player missing!

I suppose that NIcolas Burdisso (ARG/FC Internazionale Milano) also part of the Gold-medalist Argentina football squad in Athens 2004, along with former Inter player Christian "Kily" Gonzalez.

Please review, and tell me if I'm wrong.

Thanks a lot. Christian Liberty 21:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
