Alfredo Di Stéfano was one of the best footballers of all-time, and something of a rarity for playing for two international teams. Although he was highly successful at domestic level in Argentina, Colombia and Spain, he never quite reached the same peaks internationally. He score six goals in six games to help Argentina win the 1947 South American Championship, but that was the sum total of his international success. He never played in a World Cup or European Championship, and didn't really see eye-to-eye with his national team coach either. This list is modelled on those that have gone before, although I've had to improvise for how to include his two playing nations. I opted for one table including all his goals, rather than splitting it into two tables, but let me know what you think. As always, all input welcome. Harrias talk 14:28, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Link friendly to Exhibition match.
- Linked in the prose, not sure if it is needed on every occasion in the table too, what do you reckon? Harrias talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking at similar lists, Zlatan Ibrahimovic for example, these tend to link all uses in the table. I don't think I'd argue for or against either way really, unless someone points out a compelling reason. Kosack (talk) 17:56, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Linked it throughout the table for consistency. Harrias talk 18:55, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- "Brian Glanville suggested that was unable to dictate play", something missing from here.
- Added the missing word. Harrias talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Two very minor points I noticed on a quick run through. Kosack (talk) 15:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Cheers Kosack. Query above. Harrias talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Happy to support following the issues addressed her and in Chris' comments. Kosack (talk) 08:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Drive-by comment
The opening sentence is incorrect, as he actually played for three national teams - he also played for Colombia. He didn't score any goals for Colombia, but it probably still needs to be mentioned...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree, ChrisTheDude. The opening sentence is 100% correct: it omits Colombia because the matches he played for them were unsanctioned. The lead makes passing reference to it for completeness, but it is not significant enough to be included in the opening sentence. Harrias talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough. I didn't realise that his matches for Colombia are not recognised as official internationals -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:06, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- More comments
- "He was twice named the Ballon d'Or winner" - I think "He was twice awarded the Ballon d'Or" would work better personally
- Agreed, changed. Harrias talk 16:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Note a "The South American Championship was the predecessor to the Copa América." seems odd placed after "Di Stéfano made his international debut for Argentina in December 1947" given that the sentence makes no mention of the South American Championship
- Oops, moved things around, and forgot to move the footnote. Sorted now. Harrias talk 16:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks as always ChrisTheDude. Harrias talk 16:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:46, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
