I think that results of individual group matches should be on the page, in whatever form possible. I don't really see any reasons why tables should be kept on the page, while to find out the results a user has to go through 8 (!) different individual group pages.

I got a good summary going for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Unfortunetely, some Europeans on wiki think that they world revolves around italy, france, germany, and england. I was even told my PeeJay that any contributions I made from now on will be treated as vandilism which I am going to report. SuperSonicx1986 ( talk) 00:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Why is there a summary of the results of the 1990 world cup in the box down at the bottom of the page? I assume something is broken in the template and it should either be showing the results of 2006, or the previous edition in 2002. I'd fix it but I can't actually see what's wrong...

Allegations of the Brazil v. Ghana game being fixed are now pretty much unfounded. The article that it linked to no longer exists, and more recent articles, such as this,
[1] demonstrate that news of a possible fixed result were sensationalized. Please remove Der Spiegel reported that the match was influenced by an Asian betting syndicate.

Not done: Welcome and thanks for wanting to improve the accuracy of this article. Your reference reports that GHA denies the incident and is suing the author. That seems neutral with regard to whether the allegations were unfounded. Do you have any other references that comment more directly on your point? If you did, that would support adding content disputing the report. Removing the existing content would require an abundance of opinion that that allegation was just sensationalism.

This article was semiprotected in early 2008 after being fully protected for a while. Over 18 months have now passed so I'd like to review this to see if semiprotection is still considered necessary.

The wording in the description of the England-Portugal game, where the word "ugly" is used, makes it sound like the writer is biased towards England. 64.180.179.105 ( talk) 04:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
It is not the only instance where the word ugly is inappropriately used. In general the wording of this article is over the top and does not sound encyclopedic at all. It has become a tendency in Wikipedia to let go on such writings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.29.183 ( talk) 03:15, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Is the third paragraph still correct? I find it hard to believe the 2010 Cup did not surpass those listed there, but it's hard to tell from the relevant article, which says "Hundreds of broadcasters, representing about 70 countries, transmitted the Cup to a TV audience that FIFA officials expect to exceed a cumulative 26 billion people, an average of approximately 400 million viewers per match. FIFA estimated that around 700 million viewers would watch the World Cup final." Can anyone find out and update accordingly? Languagehat ( talk) 15:40, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Just a thought: replace the "(at least five penalties each)" with a better definition as, indeed, in real world, sides often win a shoot-out while having shot fewer than 5 penalties. In fact, that was the case with Ukraine who won a shoot-out against Switzerland with only 4 penalty kicks. It is also possible to win with only 3. 74.255.212.2 ( talk) 15:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
In the description of the final match between France and Italy the term "penalty shootout" is used to describe the manner in which the match was settled after extra-time failed to produce a winner. The correct term is "kicks from the penalty mark". It is an important distinction because unlike penalty kicks, no penalty (i.e. direct free-kick offense that occurs in the offender's penalty area) actually occurs to lead up to the kicks.
I recognize that even though they are technically incorrect, the terms "penalty shootout" or "penalties" are commonly used to refer to "kicks from the penalty mark" and they are shorter and less cumbersome which is especially nice when you are faced with repeating the term multiple times in one article. I suggest that perhaps the official term be used during the first mention and then one of the shorter terms used subsequently.
It also offers a nice little re-direct link for the curious to the wiki page describing the FIFA rules on kicks from the penalty mark. Vansloot ( talk) 01:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

These are clearly not correct. I have no idea what they're based on but they are not FIFA Rankings from March 2006. Some are right but others are wrong. Clear examples of incorrect rankings are Mexico at #4 and Spain AND USA at #5. Spain was #6 and Mexico was #7. Argentina and Tunisia are also incorrect. The rankings should be scrubbed and re-done to reflect March 2006 or some other date in 2006 prior to the start of the Cup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.151.131.131 ( talk) 18:19, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, in the German media as well as in the German Wiki version it is said the Germany would have gained a reasonable positive image shift while hosting the World Cup. It is said that the German hosts where seen as joyful and welcoming, attributes that weren't connected at all with them before.

List Totti as having four assists (instead of three)
https://www.transfermarkt.com/francesco-totti/nationalmannschaft/spieler/5958 Note that Totti had four assists, one against ghana, one against the Czech Republic, and two against the Ukraine.
Also note in the discussion page I left a fuller argument. There are several errors in attributed assists. The data currently presented seems to be based on an old page Fifa put up but that page seems to be a real mess. Riquelme only had three assists and Figo had four. Figo and Totti were joint leaders in assists.
Note that the Totti wikipedia article itself in Italian states: "assommando quattro assist e un gol" or 4 assists and one goal for Totti at the 2006 world cup. It's a bit of a paradox. Both entries cannot be correct at the same time. Reason99 ( talk) 05:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

In both, four assists are cited for totti Reason99 ( talk) 05:20, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
It makes no sense to remove assists from this article. It is a key sports statistic. It would be wiser just to establish the correct number of assists and enter them. Or at minimum, to list the "top three" or something to that effect. Reason99 ( talk) 05:28, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi folks,

So did Figo
https://www.transfermarkt.com/luis-figo/nationalmannschaft/spieler/3446
Riquelme only had three assists.
https://www.transfermarkt.com/juan-riquelme/nationalmannschaft/spieler/3854
Note I have already corrected this directly on the dedicated 2006 world cup statistics article. But it should be fixed in this entry as well.
Hello, the translation of the slogan "A time to make friends" is grammatically wrong. Nouns like "Zeit" and "Freunde" must start with a capital letter in German. But the official german slogan of the World Cup was "Die Welt zu Gast bei Freunden". I think this one should be displayed on the article. 185.39.64.136 ( talk) 19:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
From the lead section (the first was in 1974 as West Germany and also a re-FIFA World Cup. What is a "re-FIFA" World Cup?

The bribery section as first and characterizing topic is outrageous. It is pure anti-German propaganda, probably written by British or Polish haters, with their obsession of evil Germany (one time Nazi always Nazi).
None of the bribery allegations have been proven.
Besides, several other recent World Cups involved bribery and corruption of the FIFA.
Thus, I demand that theses articles are similarly organized: Bribery and even non-proven allegations etc. as first paragraph. Otherwise this article on the World Cup 2006 should be changed in a fair manner. 2001:628:2120:604:8D2D:518C:9FB0:3CD5 ( talk) 13:19, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

List Totti as having four assists (instead of three)
https://www.transfermarkt.com/francesco-totti/nationalmannschaft/spieler/5958 Note that Totti had four assists, one against ghana, one against the Czech Republic, and two against the Ukraine.
Also note in the discussion page I left a fuller argument. There are several errors in attributed assists. The data currently presented seems to be based on an old page Fifa put up but that page seems to be a real mess. Riquelme only had three assists and Figo had four. Figo and Totti were joint leaders in assists.
Note that the Totti wikipedia article itself in Italian states: "assommando quattro assist e un gol" or 4 assists and one goal for Totti at the 2006 world cup. It's a bit of a paradox. Both entries cannot be correct at the same time. Reason99 ( talk) 05:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
A sports article
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2707707-francesco-tottis-football-legacy-as-told-in-10-defining-moments
In both, four assists are cited for totti Reason99 ( talk) 05:20, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
It makes no sense to remove assists from this article. It is a key sports statistic. It would be wiser just to establish the correct number of assists and enter them. Or at minimum, to list the "top three" or something to that effect. Reason99 ( talk) 05:28, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi folks,
New to wikipedia. Please note that the assist section is incorrect. Francesco Totti had four assists.

So did Figo

Riquelme only had three assists.

Note I have already corrected this directly on the dedicated 2006 world cup statistics article. But it should be fixed in this entry as well.
Hello, the translation of the slogan "A time to make friends" is grammatically wrong. Nouns like "Zeit" and "Freunde" must start with a capital letter in German. But the official german slogan of the World Cup was "Die Welt zu Gast bei Freunden". I think this one should be displayed on the article. 185.39.64.136 ( talk) 19:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
From the lead section (the first was in 1974 as West Germany and also a re-FIFA World Cup. What is a "re-FIFA" World Cup? The phrasing with the also implies that we already know 2006 was a re-Fifa WC, but I don't see it mentioned anywhere else in lead(or article). Anyone have any clarification on this? I'm not familiar with the term, and google brings up nothing. WikiVirus C (talk) 15:02, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

The bribery section as first and characterizing topic is outrageous. It is pure anti-German propaganda, probably written by British or Polish haters, with their obsession of evil Germany (one time Nazi always Nazi).
None of the bribery allegations have been proven.
Besides, several other recent World Cups involved bribery and corruption of the FIFA.
Thus, I demand that theses articles are similarly organized: Bribery and even non-proven allegations etc. as first paragraph. Otherwise this article on the World Cup 2006 should be changed in a fair manner. 2001:628:2120:604:8D2D:518C:9FB0:3CD5 ( talk) 13:19, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
The bias is clear when we look at other World Cup articles:

I can improve this page, i have already improve the 1994 and 1998 World Cup pages GBT00 ( talk) 00:06, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Should the name of the host nation include an inline link to the nation's article? For example, should the first instance of the word "Germany" be bracketed so as to provide a link to Germany? Rowsdower45 ( talk) 06:17, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
