Talk:Costa Rica national football team

message: Somebody challenged the neutrality of this article however they did not bother on saying why, so...I guess I'll answer to what "I think" they are objecting to.  
I think that the paragraphs stating what went on in the game is much more useful than just the results.  
We all know the score, but in time people will forget the emotion, the points of view and the back-and-forth of the game.
Wikipedia gives the world an oportunity to record these details, that are normally lost in a dictionary or encyclopedia.

France 1998 
Final Brazil 0 - 3 France 
...That may be enough, but you leave out that, all bets were on Brazil, that Zidane after recieving a red card in the first game and being almost unseen in the Cup, came to become Frances hero by scoring the first two goals, also that both goals were headers, one even going under Roberto Carlos legs, also that Ronaldo was expected to be the hero but he was under so much pressure that the day of the game he had some convulsions, and finally that Petit made the last goal in a great dash against defenders...See!  All that would be lost if we just limited ourselves to 3-0!   
I think that I am fair with both teams, and don't put down the opponent.  It is also a "Costa Rica" page, and I would imagine that if the same thing existed on a Sweden, Scotland or Brazil page, it would go along the same lines, though it could be seen though other eyes.
I think it's a valuable addition and if others, that know thier football history well, would do the same to thier own soccer teams pages, we could have a very complete archive of games, and not just the scores...Manuzel 04:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Maybe the section on the performance in 2006 World Cup, with its match-bay-match description, is too much. I would like to discuss it in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/National teams.--Panairjdde 17:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The uniform is obviously wrong. Not only the first one should be red, they have never used that gray/black variation shown in the wikipedia. Thanks.
Of course it´s wrong.  It was right before, somebody just messed with the colors.  We just need someone to put it back in order--Manuzel 12:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I just took the time to order the Players Abroad table alphabetically to list the players by their last name. Previously the players were listed by their position on the field but I think this way it's easier to read thru the names and find the player that interests you. If anyone feels any different and doesn't like the new list order feel free to revert to the old version.--190.10.76.226 (talk) 20:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the reason for the nickname "Los Ticos" for this team is given nowhere in this article. I'd suggest that it would be good if someone could add something on that... --IJBall (talk) 20:23, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
