replies: text: That's actually FIFA's title for all the matches in the final group, not just this one (see here). – PeeJay 23:00, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  If the match itself has no title then what we are putting instead is a description of the game. A title/description of "Uruguay v Brazil" does not convey the fact that this was the deciding match. Why not use then the title 1950 FIFA World Cup Deciding Match? or a similar title that conveys the importance of this match? ClimbingLizard (talk) 03:03, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: If the game has no title, we should not give it a title. Instead, we should describe in the article prose the context of the match. The title that goes in the infobox should just reflect the title of the article itself. – PeeJay 08:44, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, the article itself states (very first sentence): "Uruguay v Brazil was the decisive match of the final group stage at the 1950 FIFA World Cup." so the infobox title (and article title also) should be "1950 FIFA World Cup Decisive Match" agreed? - ClimbingLizard (talk) 23:29, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because that's not a title that's used in any sort of media that have covered the match. You need to stop this please. – PeeJay 18:50, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: "You need to stop this please." really? Is this how you approach disagreement? If you do not wish to collaborate on improving the articles then maybe you shouldn't be blocking other who do. ClimbingLizard (talk) 04:48, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm blocking improvements to the article. In fact, I see it as quite the opposite, since I believe your change would be detrimental to the article. – PeeJay 08:19, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  It wasn't the final match 

message: Can someone please explain the word, especially the exit or term or suggestive or subtilities or so. Is it like Netherlands-Germany, 1974? Must be.
:I'm not sure what is it that you need explaining. The word has its root in the Stidum's name Maracaná, with the Spanish suffix -azo, meaning A hit with smthng or Great smthng. In this case it can referr to the commotion in the stadium, or the  feat of the Uruguayan team in the stadium. Mariano(t/c) 07:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please explain 

message: I have change title to more English language-friendly version. Teams played each other three times in 1950 hence the World Cup in title.

thread_title: Change of title

message: I've made some edits, notably changing 'tie' to draw' or derivitive there of. 'Tie' in English can also mean any sports match in a tournament, e.g. a 'cup tie' etc. The word 'draw' as a description of a match with equal goals scored is more usually used, certainly outside the US. I have altered this to remove the ambiguity, and made some other minor edits. Badgerpatrol 04:34, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I disagree. This was not the final of a knockout tournament, but it was the deciding game of the final group stage. The current title is fine thanks. – PeeJay 12:43, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title 

message: It seems like Brazil hadn't begun wearing their yellow kits until 1954.  1950 they were in all white, no?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diego.cayetano (talk • contribs) 05:33, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yellow Uniforms? 

message: The 1950 world cup was the first time that the players' kit had numbers. While not fixed numbers, they were numbered from 1 to 11. This is missing on the players.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.189.255.42 (talk) 21:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Numbers 

message: Uruguay didn't use black shorts (not sure about the socks) until the 70'ies. They were dark blue, a bit darker than navy blue. 83.177.138.89 (talk) 16:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uruguay wore blue shorts 

message: My edit needs someone to check it: my maths are better than my English (sorry for "discusion"), I hope. I haven´t found the rules in case of two or more teams ended the final round-robin group with equal points. But after have a look of the group-2 final table, the only one that have ended with teams (3) with equal points and due to the fact that the match between Uruguay and Spain have ended in a draw, I consider the final number of the goals or an extra match the only possibilities to rank properly both countries if Spain had won and Uruguay had lost their last matches.--Noventamilcientoveinticinco (talk) 16:37, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Before the last two matches 

message: By this torunament, teams would wear shirts with numbers on them. Players did not have permanent numbers, but they did have numbers from 1 to 11 on the field.
So the players' names should have numbers next to them.
Source: See this picture of Rimet giving the captain of Uruguay, Varela, the cup after the final. Varela clearly has a number 5 on his shirt. http://www.ole.com.ar/mundial/Obdulio-Varela-recibe-Jules-Rimet_OLEIMA20100503_0140_6.jpg  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.237.96.8 (talk) 14:08, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Brazil wore an all-white with some blue stripes in neck and socks until this match. I've never seen or heard about green in their white uniform, so I'm not sure where the green in this article come from. Someone with better info should check this up.

message: The only sources to back up claims of fans committing suicide are secondary sources from long after the fact, and they disagree on the details:
"[T]wo of the 175,000 crammed into Rio's Maracana stadium committed suicide by throwing themselves off a stand."
"Elsewhere in Rio, there were suicides."
"For instance, after the final whistle, a distressed fan committed suicide, and three others died from heart attacks."
In the absence of primary sources, I think these claims should be presumed spurious. Accordingly, I've removed them.HamartiaProsciuttoPharos (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
