The article states that
"The finals were the first time FIFA decided to experiment with the style of jerseys worn by officials, foregoing the traditional black. They could choose between burgundy, yellow or silver shirts depending on what was necessary to avoid a clash of colors with the two competing teams. This custom has since been followed, but with black shirts added as an option later."
Although there are video footage from the 1978 World Cup in which referees could use red shirts to avoid color clashes with dark teams' jersey (e.g. Scotland): see
[1]
I think that the entry should be reviewed. It is true indeed that black was not an option for referees' shirts in 1994, but it makes it look like there was no alternative before ("This custom has since been followed, but with black shirts added as an option later") which is clearly false given the video above.

Hello,
I couldn't overlook the fact that this article claims that the 1994 world cup was the first world cup to incorporate the 3 point system per win. Actually, the fact is that the 1994 world cup still used the 2 point system per victory, the article still holds this critical mistake and should be changed as soon as possible. In the 1994 World Cup itwas feared that a team with three draws could equal the number of points by a team with one victory and one draw. The three point rule was created in 1994 immediately after the world cup and was therefore not applied at this tournament. This section of the article needs to change.

I really think we should be linking to the match reports at FIFA web sites. I can't see the point in changing the links. Also, I don't think it matters which how the teams are ordered in the footballboxes. I'd support changing it to the ordering used in the match reports (or any consistent ordering) but we should pick a particular order and stop changing it.

It is not true that no British teams competed in that World Cup. Ireland is a British island so Republic of Ireland is a British team. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fn1m ( talk • contribs) 11:19, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Britain is an island which consists of three countries Scotland, England and Wales. Ireland is a separate island. Only people from the island of Britain are British. Most Irish people are offended at being considered part of the "British" isles and certainly do not consider themselves to be British. Especially the Republic of Ireland. I suggest you look at the discussion page on the British Isles article for some insight.-- Limericksham ( talk) 09:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Aw, poor PJ. Did I offend you? Are you sure nobody gives two hoots about it or just you? I think there's plenty of people who give two hoots about what it's called- your own government has discouraged its use. They give a hoot obviously. British media and academics have also discouraged its use. So obviously there are plenty of people, PJ, who give a hoot. Even if nobody gave a hoot, would that be ok, PJ? Is it a fact PJ? There's nothing we can do about it? Who says? You? Come into the 21st century PJ.

Per long-standing consensus and policy, we don't publish "final standings" as the world cup only has 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. To infer otherwise is not permitted, unless FIFA changes its rules. -- John ( talk) 03:53, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Why was the knockout stage as it was?
In Italia´90 the winners and runner up of a group wouldn´t meet until final where as in USA ´94 Brazil meet sweden (Winners and runner up group B) in semifinal. The same would have been for winners and runner up of Group D (Nigeria and Bulgaria), Group F (Netherlands and Saudi Arabia).
Winners and runner up of Group A (Romania and Switzerland) Group C (Germany and Spain)and E (Mexico and Ireland) where not able to meet again until the final of the world cup if they would have got there.
Italia ´90 The winners and runners up where not able to meet until final. The four best third-placed teams did would not meet any team from thier own group until semifinal - and in three out of four cases the would have meet the winners of thier group. Mexico ´86 was the same, though it was two thirdplaced teams that where able to meet the groups runner-up in semi-final, and two too meet the groupwinner.
In Korea/japan 2002 Brazil again faced a team from thier own group in semifinal - Turkey. As far ar I´ve understood it this was due too keep teams in one Country until final. It was the same in Euro 2008 in Austria-Switerland (Spain face thier runner up Russia in the semifinals) though not for the Euro2000 in Belgien/Niederlande —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.30.75.7 ( talk) 21:30, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I think you're wrong on the date format issue. I can't think of stronger national ties to the topic of that article than those to the arranging country. In my view, your position is unsustainable. Conversely, one could argue that since the sports of basketball and baseball were more or less invented in the US, all articles on competitions in these sports – such as for instance the European basketball championships – should have MDY dates, regardless of where they are held or in what context. To my knowledge, it isn't so.
The issue has been raised in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#WP:STRONGNAT and international events hosted by the United States. Please participate in the discussion.

We also have WP:CONSENSUS and MoS Date guidelines defer to it.
That's what we have here. We had a decision to change to the current ate format. The article evolved in the new date format and there was no edit warring over the format. Consensus and the history of editing is clear that we have the correct format.
There were no strong national ties to football when the tournament was being run. Viewership numbers clearly show that. It's like hosting the world cup of cricket in the United States to attempt to increase its fanbase there. USSF wanted to host the tournament in the US to increase the fanbase. It worked. If a future world cup were to be hosted in the US, I would suggest that it might have stronger national ties at that point, but not in 1994. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:08, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
I recently say a ESPN Documentary called "June 17, 1994" which was about many notable sporting events that happened that day which were overshadowed by O. J. Simpson's run from the police, including the opening day of the 1994 World Cup. Should it be mentioned in this article, especially since the Spain-South Korea game was going on during the chase.

I remember that when they played in the Pontiac Silverdome the temperature was unusually hot (in the high 90s). I never found out why, whether it was FIFA regulations or if it was equipment failure. Did FIFA forbid the use of air conditioning, and if so, why? I would think this point should be included in the article, since it would affect game play. 209.179.57.76 ( talk) 01:04, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Is score alone thee determining factor in stating a defeat was or was not "heavy"? British 86.112.160.28 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) removed "heavy" on 2020-06-21 from the lead when referencing the Russian team's losses to Brazil and Sweden. I reverted as the score is not the only way to look at the match and I assume consensus was reached on how the Russian team played. My Ottawa-based Wikihound then decided to start an edit war first as 67.71.49.255 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) then 70.48.252.68 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS).

Unfortunately, recent unconstructive edits have sought to restore UK English. This article "has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation"; therefore, it "uses the English of that nation." See WP:ENGVAR. - PhilipR ( talk) 15:35, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
I know I'm way late, but this topic is relevant to me. Should the 1934 and 1990 WC articles replace "football" with calcio just because Italy hosted both editions? CharlieBroadway ( talk) 17:07, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Times of goalscorers are wrong. I'm not sure of the correct times myself, but I know that Brazil went 2-0 up, not The Netherlands.
Also Aron Winter scored the equaliser against Brazil, not Marco Van Basten, who I'm not sure was even in the Dutch squad for the tournament. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.201.163 ( talk) 13:08, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

In the article 1994_FIFA_World_Cup on the section of the Group E. Italy vs Ireland is twice once at the begining and once right before the end. the game that ended 1-1 is actually italy vs mexico 148.237.67.15 ( talk) 23:49, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Done Thank you for pointing that out. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 23:56, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
I think you're wrong on the date format issue. I can't think of stronger national ties to the topic of that article than those to the arranging country. In my view, your position is unsustainable. Conversely, one could argue that since the sports of basketball and baseball were more or less invented in the US, all articles on competitions in these sports – such as for instance the European basketball championships – should have MDY dates, regardless of where they are held or in what context. To my knowledge, it isn't so.
The issue has been raised in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#WP:STRONGNAT and international events hosted by the United States. Please participate in the discussion.

We also have WP:CONSENSUS and MoS Date guidelines defer to it.
That's what we have here. We had a decision to change to the current ate format. The article evolved in the new date format and there was no edit warring over the format. Consensus and the history of editing is clear that we have the correct format.
There were no strong national ties to football when the tournament was being run. Viewership numbers clearly show that. It's like hosting the world cup of cricket in the United States to attempt to increase its fanbase there. USSF wanted to host the tournament in the US to increase the fanbase. It worked. If a future world cup were to be hosted in the US, I would suggest that it might have stronger national ties at that point, but not in 1994. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:08, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
I recently say a ESPN Documentary called "June 17, 1994" which was about many notable sporting events that happened that day which were overshadowed by O. J. Simpson's run from the police, including the opening day of the 1994 World Cup. Should it be mentioned in this article, especially since the Spain-South Korea game was going on during the chase.

Apparently, the guy who subsequently fixed a great deal of European soccer, Dan Tan, lost $1.5 million on this WC when he was starting out and fled Singapore. If we're adding trivia… — LlywelynII 08:38, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Italy scored 8 goals in the tournament (averaging 1.143 goals a game) - if I am counting correctly - a record low for a finalist? Tsinfandel ( talk) 07:52, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
I remember that when they played in the Pontiac Silverdome the temperature was unusually hot (in the high 90s). I never found out why, whether it was FIFA regulations or if it was equipment failure. Did FIFA forbid the use of air conditioning, and if so, why? I would think this point should be included in the article, since it would affect game play. 209.179.57.76 ( talk) 01:04, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I made this edit reformatting the table (and reverted by SounderBruce for a couple of reasons:
P.S. @ SounderBruce: I'm not interested in having redundant discussion, so I think whatever we settle on here applies to 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup#Venues as well? Ytoyoda ( talk) 19:18, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
I feel like I've gotten too wordy in explaining my edits, so here's a summary:
I think No. 2 is the only part where we could have wiggle room over - everything else aligns with WP:RS and WP:COMMONNAME. Ytoyoda ( talk) 13:53, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
If there aren't objections, I'll go ahead and make the changes. Ytoyoda ( talk) 18:03, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Is score alone thee determining factor in stating a defeat was or was not "heavy"? British 86.112.160.28 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) removed "heavy" on 2020-06-21 from the lead when referencing the Russian team's losses to Brazil and Sweden. I reverted as the score is not the only way to look at the match and I assume consensus was reached on how the Russian team played. My Ottawa-based Wikihound then decided to start an edit war first as 67.71.49.255 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) then 70.48.252.68 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS). Clearly not following the rules but ignoring BRD, so I'll make the effort. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 18:13, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
Fma12 ( talk · contribs) added images of the Argentina men's national team at this tournament on 2020-09-16T00:40:51. I viewed those images on commons and when I recognized that they were marked as still being under copyright, I reverted on 2020-09-22T04:30:24. Claiming the removal was vandalism, Fma12 restored them 2020-10-10T17:33:05. I warned the editor and have tried to explain WP:COPVIO policy, but have yet to receive acknowledgement that the editor understand 1) that the images are still under copyright in the US and 2) the significance of repeatedly adding copyrighted images to the project can have. Instead, I have been told that they are not under copyright in Argentina and that, because I have been blocked so many times, that I am in no position to explain anything to this particular editor. I felt it was necessary to explain it clearly and to be certain that the editor understands copyright policy on the English project does apply. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 16:38, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
