message: This page is pretty useless. If people want to know about the final matches, they already have the FIFA World Cup to look at and they can also look at the individual World Cups themselves to find more information. All this is doing is reposting the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperSonicx1986 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This page serves the purpose of showing the history of World Cup finals matches, their results, and the primary characteristics of each match, all in one easy to read list and page. Looking at multiple individual pages to compare games is unwarranted when a page like this can exist at no extra cost to users. Your "reason" for wanting this page deleted essentially boils down to "I think people are too lazy", which is not a reason to delete this page. ThsTorturedSoul (talk) 20:44, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Germany listed as this year's champions 

message: As the 2014 World Cup finals has not happened yet, I do not think it is correct to list any team as a runner-up for that match (just as no team is said to have won it yet).  However, both Argentina and Germany are listed as runners-up.

message: This is obviously wrong, since they aren't even in the finals match, and it should be changed. This will be moot in 30 min though, when we can add the correct winners and runners-up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.138.104.200 (talk) 21:06, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the PK score be shown in the "List of finals" table? It's kind of important because the PK score determines who wins the World Cup, but for some reason it is hidden from the table and can only be seen after clicking the superscript.

message: I don't think a map of the final venues is necessary. Their locations in relation to each other are irrelevant and have no bearing on the matches themselves. Furthermore, the venues are mostly in cities that are well known to most readers, which means we don't need to indicate their location. – PeeJay 22:07, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Video URLs are acceptable per WP:Video.  The source video is provided by FIFA itself from its official Youtube channel, and they are all short summaries of each final.  For example, a video column is included in the List of world records in athletics. Granted, I understand how one article may have certain content may not imply for another to do the same.  Nevertheless, video URLs may be useful here. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 16:14, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:Video doesn't mention any URLs, this entire page is about uploading videos direclty to Wikipedia. That athletics article is not a FL standard like this one, and obviously the videos should be removed from that page as well, which was already mentioned at Talk:List of world records in athletics#Video. Even if the videos are uploaded by FIFA on official channel and not by some random user, that still doesn't mean that those videos are not copyrighted.

message: Should we change "Los Angeles" to "Pasadena," and possibly also Paris to Saint-Denis (for 1998 in the graphic under List of FIFA World Cup finals#List of final matches)? I know that some readers won't know Pasadena, but readers also may not be familiar with Lusail, Qatar. The distance from Lusail to Doha's city center is about the same as Pasadena's distance from LA's city center. Solna (instead of Stockholm) presents another difficult choice. The following table correctly lists Pasadena and not Los Angeles. The map shows the location. Should we be consistent and use the actual city names, as we do in the table? Or should we list Doha instead of Lusail to match the convention of listing the nearby, more prominent city? Holy (talk) 18:27, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
