Talk:1950 FIFA World Cup squads

message: I removed Helmut Demucke because there is no legitimate source to verify this player even existed. Frank Wallace's original last name is Valicenti. Benjamin McLaughlin was selected to the final roster but did not travel with the team. Coaching staff included Walter Giesler from St. Louis and former president of the USSF. And William "Chubby" Lyons also from St.Louis. Libro0 18:48, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Desmuke played also baseball, was born in 1928, and weighted 198. Can be him? --necronudist (talk) 09:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Amazing research, Libro0! However, the only way to know what happened is to find a newspaper with the list of called up players and then see in the next issues if somebody resigned or were substituted... Not so easy, unfortunately! --necronudist (talk) 08:58, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it possible that he's the Atletico Madrid player Atilio Lopez Rivero? Lopez Sosa was born in 1925 and Lopez Rivero in 1926, they both played in the 1950s, maybe they're the same player. In the first 1950s he played in Club Nacional (like Lopez Sosa) and in the middle, after the world cup, he crossed the ocean to play with an european club (like Lopez Rivero). What do you think? --necronudist 07:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: An anonymous user has edited Mexican, Chilean, and Paraguay teams providing some interesting links. However there are plenty of sites (e.g. playerhistory.com) who says the contrary, but they can be wrong.
===Mexico===
Here is shown clearly that Cordoba was a GK. FIFA site obviously avoid the problem   
===Chile===
Here is clearly stated that Urroz was a DF. FIFA site says he was a GK, but 3 GKs on the roster wasn't common at the time...
===Paraguay===
Here is clearly stated that Centurion was a GK. FIFA avoid the question  
Let me know what you think about all of this. I'll keep the original version until the controversies aren't solved. --necronudist 10:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Paraguay

message: Many sources say it was Héctor Saavedra Araújo, many other say Humberto... who's right? Plus, many Bolivian sources say it was Víctor Celestino Algañaraz and not Algarañaz --necronudist (talk) 16:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: There were only 21 players on the team. The FA had included Stanley Matthews and Jim Taylor, of Fulham, in the party to tour Canada. Manchester United, due to tour the USA, had requested the release of Aston and Cockburn. Neil Franklin, the automatic choice at centerhalf, left the World Cup squad for the financial benefits of Santa Fe of Colombia. Libro0 (talk) 02:45, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
