thread_title: Table of contents

message: Guys, don't you think that if the finals went to a penalty shootout the notation aet is redundant? I believe aet should be used only if the results of the match were determined by the extra time. If the game ended in a ps, then obviously the result of the match is after extra time.
I'll wait a couple of days for posts before changing anything

Yes and no... In 1991 third place match there were PKs but no AET. http://www.rsssf.com/tablesw/wyc91.html But is it important to show that distinction? Probably not. --Dr31 5 July 2005 20:13 (UTC)

text: Hi, I know I'm entering a bit late here, but I think the distinction is quite important. Quoting the first line, the notation aet is not redundant since not all the finals that went to a penalty shootout did it so after an extra time. There's been cases when the penalties took place inmediately after the 90', so the different cases should be noted. Ipsumesse (talk) 02:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  AET vs no AET 

message: The name of the U-20 Tournament (this article) is "FIFA World Youth Championship" while the U-17 is called "FIFA U-17 World Championship."  Even both the women's U-20 and U-17 follow the same format as the U-17.  For consistency's sake, I'm proposing that this page be moved to "FIFA U-20 World Championship."  Any opposition?

thread_title:  U-20/U-17 

message: Starting with the 2007 edition in Canada, the tournament will be called "FIFA U-20 World Cup" , and apparently all FIFA tournaments will start to be called "World Cups" (see , very last sentence), so I guess this page should be moved, as well as that for the 2007 edition. FIFA's website hasn't changed the U-17 championship's name yet, so that should probably wait until it's clear. --Gabbec 23:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: FIFA U-20 World Cup is now the official name, so this page should deinitely be moved to there.  There also needs to be a change in the first sentence explaining the (now) former name. Canadiana 17:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "U-20 World Cup"

message: In the U-17 article, the top scorers are listed in chronological order, while here it is listed by number of goals. I prefer chronological. Should this be changed, for consistency as well as for easier reading? Jmcnally 16:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Top Scorer Layout 

message: Under the Golden Shoe and Golden Ball listings, the 2003 tournament host is listed as the United States instead of the actual host, the United Arab Emirates (the listing for the Fair Play award correctly has the UAE as the host).  Is there any reason for this, or is it a mistake that can be fixed? Dalton Imperial 03:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  2003 Golden Ball/Shoe Awards 

message: The article is not clear about the exact age requirement on players. It says that the championship is "for male players under the age of 20" without clarifying what this means. Checking the regulations for the 2011 tournament, I discovered that the requirement is not at all what you would expect. Instead, the requirement is that "all players of its representative team were born on or after 1 
January 1991" (§22.2). Thus players should be under the age of 20 on the last day of the year preceding the year of the tournament. Source: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/01/28/32/07/regulationsfu20wccolombia2011_e.pdf 83.250.145.53 (talk) 09:11, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Exact age requirement 

message: The Golden Shoe Awards are not correct. For example, in the 1995 edition Dani won the Silver Shoe and Nuno Gomes didn't get any award, I remember that very well. And FIFA web site states the same as me: http://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/tournament=104/edition=191263/awards/index.html Paulojmartins (talk) 12:48, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nuno Gomes isn't listed here. The Technical report has however 3 shoes awarded in 1995. -Koppapa (talk) 14:07, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Golden Shoe Awards incorrect 

message: In light of the recent back and forth of edits as to whether Serbia's 2015 win counts as a 2nd title following Yugoslavia's win in 1987. Arguments for: this is similar to present-day Germany and West Germany, wherein West Germany's top 4 FIFA results are counted in Germany's tally; SFR and FR Yugoslavia existed consecutively, not concurrently, so if they both had had top 4 results, the tally would be listed under a single name (Yugoslavia); FR Yugoslavia became Serbia and Montenegro, which is legally succeeded by Serbia. Arguments against: no official FIFA statement designating Serbia as Yugoslavia's medal successors; FR Yugoslavia is not the legal successor of SFR Yugoslavia; legal succession is not relevant to FIFA succession.

replies: text: This is incorrect. There is an official statement and that is on the website. http://www.fifa.com/associations/association=srb/about.html The article should be adjusted as accordingly as under the medal tally, the 1987 world cup title is included and therefore Serbia has two titles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.53.151 (talk) 14:24, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A footnote would be a good idea. There are several FIFA articles calling it Serbia's first title. For example 1, 2, 3. -Koppapa (talk) 16:05, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As always the same mistake: all the winners of UEFA or FIFA are ALWAYS the Associations, which are the real members, representing one particular geographical area.  In the 1980's, Yugoslavia's FA (founded in 1919) won the FIFA Youth Cup (superb team, btw). This FA of Yugoslavia was the same representing in the 1990's Serbia and Montenegro (with a different legal name) and later on Serbia. FIFA said so. It's indeed Serbia's first title - but the FA itself has two titles, since it's the same member of FIFA. FIFA's Federations can change their names (USA's did it - they used to be called USA FA, and later changed to US Soccer Federation). Another good example is Germany/West Germany, this case they didn't have to change their FA's name so both were and are represented by the same (DFB). So calling it Serbia's first title is just like calling Germany's first world title in 2014. It doesn't matter. One have to look always to the FIFA's FA. You see, just because one FA represent different areas ("countries" or islands or whatever) over time or have a different name it doesn't change the fact that particular FA was never disbanded or have sucessors legally. So DFB (now representing Germany, founded in 1900) has 4 FIFA world Titles, and FSS (now representing Serbia, it was before known as Yugoslavia FA and few years later Serbia and Montenegro FA, founded in 1919) has 2 FIFA U-20 titles.--Good Hope Phanta (talk) 18:47, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

text: Come on guys...I think we all know that the nation that took over Yugoslavia in footballing terms is Serbia. I don't see what the issue is to be honest. Ask yourselves, if Russia was to win, what would you do to the table? Druryfire (talk) 17:25, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

text: Well, all you have to do is click on the Serbia national under-20 football team article and the Yugoslavia history is their. Yes Yugoslavia and Serbia are not the same country, but in footballing history I do believe that Serbia are credited with anything that Yugoslavia did. Obviously, the article in question will never please everyone and should be left with separate honors for both. The day another nation like Germany win's will bring up this debate again and again.

text: This is ridiculous.  Yugoslavia won the 1987 championship.  Any indication otherwise is a blatant historical inaccuracy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.187.138.241 (talk) 00:20, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
