message: There is a significant need for clean up and fact-checking for this article.  Especially about the 2011 World Cup semifinal...the US never got past the semifinals before in a World Cup?  Tell that to the 1999 World Cup winners...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.205.30.34 (talk) 19:48, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

message: According to the US Soccer website the white kits are home and the gold kits are away. It's reversed in the article. Please fix this.

message: Today in the U-20 World Cup the US, playing as the visitor versus Republic of Korea, wore blue shirts and blue shorts.  I know Nike keeps changing up the shirt colors to sell product, but does anyone know if this indicates an intent to change back to blue for the away unis? - Regards, PhilipR (talk) 01:34, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

message: He lost one game...To Brazil.  In world football a penalty shootout loss or victory is recorded as a draw.  The match is "drawn" and a shootout is used to determine the winner.  Yet the result of the game....is still a draw.  Furthermore, there are infinite sources which show that Ryan lost one game to Brazil, and not a single one that says he lost two.  Ergo, saying he lost two and then using your own reasoning is original research, and is not allowed. Batman2005 22:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Under the listing of current players, the "clubs" section doesn't list current clubs, but rather former colleges. This differs from the standard of other national teams. I understand that most of these players don't play for any professional club. In that case this section should be blank, but it's misleading to call your alma mater your current club. Maybe the list should just be reformatted to list each player's college and leave the club out. --D. Monack | talk 02:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: "Clubs"

message: I have two questions. First: does anyone know if there is an assistant coach for the women's team? The link to the coach staff page on USSoccer.com is dead and I have no way of finding out.
Second: is there an accepted team nickname? The Olympics.com team page said "The Stars and Stripes," but I've never really heard that used. The only remotely common nickname for US national teams is Yanks, and even that is rarely used in reference to the women. Eightball (talk) 04:15, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I noted that the ranking is listed in the sidebar but it seems to me that it should be in the lead, as it is on the Men's team page.

message: This is the incorrect logo, as the women have won 2 World Cups (as of the 2011 World Cup) and should have 2 stars on the top of their team crest. You can see it on their uniforms.

replies: text: Two months later; still not done. Some WP editors like to keep the European spelling, FYI, imho. They like 'football' rather than 'soccer' as I found out a few years ago. If you remain with your opinion, you can learn about changing the image-location where it resides. Just do a Google-search including 'site:Wikipedia.com' or go to the WP Help Desk. -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 22:08, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Let me resurrect the issue of nicknames, previously raised by Eightball (see above).  There should be established use of a nickname in published media before it is listed.  At this time, for example, the USMNT page identifies three nicknames, and links to references for each one.  The USWNT page ought to follow the same standard.  Some of the nicknames that have been listed do not turn up a single time under an internet search, and indeed there have been cases of outright vandalism.  173.50.127.215 (talk) 11:56, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

message: The infobox says August 18th, 1985, while the article text says August 12th, 1985. Neither date has a source attached to it. With a bit of digging I came up with http://www.rsssf.com/tablesm/mundialito-women.html#1985 , which is linked as a source on Mundialito (women), and that says August 18th. I therefore have changed the article text date to August 18th.

thread_title:  First match date 

message: WP:FOOTY has discussed and decided several times that team rosters should not indicate a player's injury status— neither with the INJ abbreviation nor with the  logo. These indicators are excessively detailed and violate WP:RECENTISM and MOS:TEXTASIMAGES. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_41#Injury_logo and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_43#Injury_icons_in_rosters. I have removed them from this article and explained why in the edit summary. User:Tomrtn keep trying to add them back in, but without any edit summaries and when I raised this issue on his talk page he simply deleted without comment. CUA 27 (talk) 13:05, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: @CUA 27 I would like to bring this up again for discussion on this page. As seen in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_146#User:Bergenoslo this seems like a subject that doesn't have a consensus. I am not stating that the tone of the messages in that discussion are in any way correct, but am saying that as recent as August 2021, many football editors feel the representation of INJ on a withdrawn player is appropriate for the national team because it reflects current status. I understand the Recentism discussion, but isn't that what player call-up lists are, a recent change to the national team's roster? Which in itself is a potential violation of recentism. But, I am sure we are not suggesting we don't have the current roster. All the rest of the discussion seem to revolve around the logo, which I am not suggesting we bring back. All I am saying is that if the current roster is in contrast to recentism, then how is the INJ status more in contrast with recentism? 15:13, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Appreciate Demt1298 bringing the discussion here. My personal two-cent is that this is settled practice and don't see a good reason for bringing it back up (i.e., pro CUA 27 if we want to share opinion crudely). I said more about this at User talk:Seany91/Archives/2023/April#Mallory Swanson, which is what led to this thread being revived. Seany91 (talk) 19:42, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Injury status 

message: I changed the color scheme in the World Cup and Olympics tables. See the before and after below for the World Cup tables. The advantage of the new version is that the table is easier to read — i.e., it's much easier to read a table with black font on white background that it is to read on a multicolor background. And the gold/silver/bronze coloring scheme is still maintained in the Result column, so readers still get the visual color cue. I see this new version as having clear advantages and no disadvantages. I'm interested in others' thoughts on this. CUA 27 (talk) 01:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: This chant has been a team tradition since its founding, so clearly it's not something that "hardly anyone recognizes"; the USWNT Players have literally been slapping it on every merchandise they produce.
