Talk:Yugoslavia national football team

message: It seems to me that a more likely date for the football-related separate of SFRY was mid-1991. In particular these two games are indicative:
* #505, Beograd, Stadion Crvene zvezde, May 16, ECQ, A: 6,745, R: Vassilios

(Mallorca, Spa) 25, Ilija Najdoski (Czv) 6, Robert Prosinecki (Czv) 15,
Dejan Savicevic (Czv) 21, Darko Pancev (Czv) 24, Zvonimir Boban (Dzg) 7,
Sinisa Mihajlovic (Czv) 1 - Coach Ivan Osim 47
Substitutions: 65' Davor Suker (Dzg) 2 for Jarni and Drazen Ladic (Dzg) 2

Najdoski (Czv) 7, Mehmed Bazdarevic (Sochaux, Fra) 50, Dejan Savicevic

Lukic (Czv) 1 for Pancev, 60' Predrag Mijatovic (Par) 5 for Bazdarevic, and
72' Dragoje Lekovic (Czv) 4 for Omerovic
: Notice the lack of Croatian players, and apparently anyone much other than Partizan and Crvena Zvezda players from Yugoslav teams. The period May-August was the time when the breakup officially started: the Slovenian and Croatian declaration of independence was on June 25. Granted, this was postponed during the summer (during which time war was starting), but still, the football federation and the team were obviously changed... game #505 was almost a year before the game #511 that is now listed on the article, that's a pretty large buffer... --Joy [shallot] 12:41, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Last international game of SFRY 

message: this is all wrong, i remember them playing in 2002, yes TWO THOUSAND AND TWO, as yugoslavia how can they possibly have played their last game in 1992???? this is ridiculous, im sure they stopped in 2003 then serbia and montenegro came along. this needs to be changed urgently and dont say i need references and saying 'im syre' isnt enough because i bet any amount of money their last game wasnt in 1992.
:Yes and no. This article is in regards to SFR Yugoslavia which was a Communist country composing of several no independent nations which existed until the early 90's. The Yugoslavia you remember was FR Yugoslavia. FR Yugoslavia is Serbia-Montenegro but with a different name. So the timeline is: SFR Yugoslavia--->FR Yugoslavia/Serbia-Montenegro--->Serbia. That's assuming we are talking seperate political entities anyway. 94.196.39.244 (talk) 02:10, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I can see a case for merging this article with statistics on the pre-2003 Serbia and Montenegro team, since FIFA considers them to be the same entity for statistical sorting purposes. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 14:37, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

message: The flags shown are the modern day states of Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia etc. Shouldn't the flags be the ones from Yugoslavia? They are here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Yugoslav_Socialist_Republics  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.23.118 (talk) 12:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The socialist republics didn't exist from 1920-1945, when many of these players were active. POV to label them as coming from the SRs.--Thewanderer (talk) 19:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

text: OK fair enough, I didn't know the list included players from before 1945. However, the reversion to the flags of the current independent countries is arguably less correct. Perhaps there should just be no flags at all. Crc (talk) 06:04, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flags of SR republics 

message: Team made up entirely of Serbs because Croats and Slovenians boycotted, but still Yugoslavia won the 3rd place there, not 4th.
In the Footnotes below the text you can even see the bronze medal which we won. (178.221.133.49 (talk) 15:49, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The US and Chile also got bronze medals; doesn't mean anything by itself. Also, it's FIFA's tournament. They own it, so what they say is. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 15:25, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Allow me to corect the author of this thread regarding few details. First, seems to be irrelevant what part of the country the players were from. It wouldn´t changed the final table regardless from where they were. Second thing, the players were not Serbian but were players that competed under Belgrade Football Subassociation. Yugoslav FA was divided into several subasociations, each one organising a league which would qualify tthe champion to play against the others in a national championship. Belgrade and Zagreb subassociassions were the strongest, and Zagreb one refused to allow its players to travel to the WC, so at the end it was the Belgrade subasociaions ones that represented Yugoslavia in Uruguay. Anyway, the 3rd and 4th place game was never played. FkpCascais (talk) 21:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

message: It seems very odd to have separate headings for Silver Medals at the 1948 and 1952 Summer Olympics but to stick their actual gold medal win in 1960 into the "Later decades" section. Languagehat (talk) 14:58, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
