The article is at odds with the infobox as to what the first game as Slovakia was...
I was in South African and many people were calling them the Fighting Jondas and Repre. Why are you people trying to act like this nickname doesnt exist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.70.68.114 ( talk) 20:09, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
The team nickname is given as "The Fighting Jondas". But what does this mean in English? What is a "jonda"?

I never heard of this nickname, it does not even sound Slovakian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.136.164 ( talk) 11:51, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Jonda or Janda is the name they called Czechoslovakian immigrants -- Ivan Kzevac —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.121.53 ( talk) 01:27, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Fighting Jondas is Fake. Im from Slovakia.-- Dodko999 ( talk) 14:14, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
This "nickname" was something fabricated by ESPN Marketing (via AM I Collective studios in South Africa) for their World Cup Murals series. In Slovakia, the national team is simply referred to as "Repre," as in "representation." Alternative explanation is that they (marketing studio) came to this English language page for the national team and took it from here. Regardless, the name is not used at all in or around Slovakia for the national team and should be removed from this encyclopedia as well. Disastorpasztor ( talk) 04:11, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for my english. please lock this page for unregistred user, because nickname is always change. -- Dodko999 ( talk) 08:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Why? Simple, I suggest N/A - slovak national team has no nickname. Repre is slang (or slang short version "representation") and can have a lot of sence, but definitely it is not nickname. Similar incorect nick name is given in czech team. It contain just Nation team transleted to Czech —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.5.210.202 ( talk) 10:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Are we the fighting jondas? ok, i have one question. who is "Jonda" or "Jondo" or "Jondovci"? -- Dodko999 ( talk) 07:02, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
If 4 newspaper will write: Obama is dead (because newspapers have bad information), GaussianCopula will write Obama is and was american president.-- Dodko999 ( talk) 08:35, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
The nickname "The Fighting Jondas" is a joke. What references are used to support that to be a true nickname? A cartoon or a mural and a few recent internet articles!? Someone came up with this hoax and the foreign media "bought" it. It is easy to create hoax these days - a caricaturist comes up with a drawing, someone writes it on the Wikipedia page, journalists use it in the articles and those can be used as references back on the Wikipedia page. Ridiculous. There is no nickname for the team other than just the internal abbreviation of Slovak Representation, e.i. "Repre" see the following links: [1], [2], [3] It would be appropriate if someone with the command of Slovak language as well as some football background took charge of this site and stop the reappearance of that meaningless expression. If you really read the articles mentioned in the discussion above ( [4]) and ( [5]) you would learn that this nickname was never heard of in Slovakia and no one knows what it is supposed to mean. They even don't know how to translate it "Jondovia" or "Jondaci". It was supposedly a nickname for immigrants of Czechoslovakia and is based on the Check not Slovak surname, and has nothing to do with the football team. I would appreciate if Wikipedia stopped promoting the fabricated nonsense and cleared "Fighting Jondas" from this site once and for all. Thank you.

The team that played against Argentina in Mendoza was not Slovakia National Team. It was Slovak league representative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ZERONICKNAME ( talk • contribs) 17:11, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
There is a dispute with regards to the team nickname "The Fighting Jondas" which even though is being extensively used in print media, it seems to have originated outside of Slovakia. A lengthy thread and continuous deletion of the sourced reference has not resolved this. Further opinions are requested. GaussianCopula ( talk) 14:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I see a number of people questioning where the hell "Fighting Jondas" came from. The answer is from Wikipedia itself— this hoax edit in 2006 by a dynamic IP and whose identity will probably never be known. There is absolutely no mention of the "Fighting Jondas" before July 4, 2006, anywhere in the world. Seeing as this team nickname is a complete hoax, I am going to remove mention of it on the page. -- Jprg1966 (talk) 02:25, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed that some of the information regarding the number of caps earned and goals scored by certain players (e.g. pertaining to Szilárd Németh) appears to contradict itself if one is to examine both the "most capped players" and "top goalscorers" sections of the article.
Where is the information that Martin Valjent retired from international team from? I can't find any sources confirming it. SonOfPlisskin ( talk) 00:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
