Talk:Brazil at the 2006 FIFA World Cup

message: Why is there an extra article about Brazil at the World Cup? I think it's all mentioned in the main articles about the qualification and stuff. I don't think we need an extra article about Brazil (but I have to say that it looks great). 80.228.166.86 12:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Why?

message: I have two suggestions:
# Add the full name of the countries in the table of results;
# Add the final standings of the qualifying round.
If no one disagrees, I can add myself what I suggested.

replies: text: Hi. See if you liked. Carioca 22:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks great.  About the Qualifying results table though, I was thinking that maybe we only need to have the opponent's name on it — it would be implied that any given country was playing against Brazil.  I'm not completely sure as to how it would work visually and in terms of organization (for one thing, we'd need to standardize the score column, with a standard format Brazil x Opponent or vice-versa, so that a 3:1 would mean that Brazil defeated [opponent] by 3 goals to one, or that Brazil lost by that score, depending on the format).

text: Hi. What do you think of the table below:
Results           	Results     	Results 	Results	
                  	            	        	       	
Date              	Place       	Opponent	Score  	
September 7, 2003 	Barranquilla	Colombia	2:1    	
September 10, 2003	Manaus      	Ecuador 	1:0

text: Excellent.  Just, instead of "Place", the column should be named "Venue", just a minor thing.  Redux 13:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

message: :I think we could add tables showing all previous results against our group stage opponents. What do you all think about this idea? PMLF 02:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Originally, I had thought of adding the history of all matches played in preparation for this World Cup (regardless of the opponent).  This new idea has a potential problem: overextending the article without a real necessity.  I suppose Brazil has not played that many matches against those three countries, but still there could be some matches played a long time ago, involving completely different players, even with some different rules (before the changes made by FIFA somewhat recently).  And later, as (one would assume) the country progresses in the competition, something similar would need to be done with the new opponents, as a matter of consistency.  And if Brazil happens to face a "traditional" opponent such as Argentina... 200 passed matches.  I believe we should stick to the idea of listing matches that were played as preparation for this World Cup, which would include at least one match against Croatia, if memory serves me well.  Regards, Redux 13:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  What about adding only statistics related to previous meetings against those teams (and any future opponent(s))? EG: games played, victories, ties, defeats, goals scored and goals conceded? Also, the 1st and last games against each one of the opponents? PMLF 20:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That one could work.  If you have the statistical data, put it up so that we can take a look  -- you may find it useful to put up a shortened sample of the board you intend to create on the talk page first, as Carioca did in the discussion above; that way, we can work on layout and other variables, if necessary, before altering the article, which would then be done only once.

What do you think? PMLF 23:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Perhaps we could come up with a more concise format?  The example above indicates that we'd need one different board for each opponent.  It would be more practical if we could have only one board, where the information for all the countries that Brazil plays can be displayed.  It's not my forté, but I'll see if I can come up with a proposal for a design.  Redux 13:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Redux. I tried to do myself a table based on PMLF's suggestion. The table is placed below (by the way, the standings of Brazil against Australia and Japan, in the table below, were invented by me):

Australia	3      	2        	0   	1      	7           	1             	4:0 (on April 1, 2006 at Sydney Croatia Sports Centre, Sydney)	0:0 (on April 3, 2006 at Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro)
Japan    	10     	8        	1   	1      	47          	12            	7:1 (on April 1, 1969 at Parque São Jorge, São Paulo)         	0:1 (on April 1, 2000 at Ajinomoto Stadium, Tokyo)

It would also be interesting to mention somewhere (not in the table) that Brazil has never player before against either of these teams in a WC. PMLF 20:45, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the data.  I was planning a short, introductory paragraph for this table, making it clear that those results refer to the history prior to (or coming into) the WC (we will not be changing the table during/after the WC, since the data on the WC matches will go in their own, separate section).  The information you mentioned can be included in this paragraph, I suppose (later, we might consider transfering it to the specific section on the World Cup matches).

thread_title: Previous Matches against Australia, Croatia and Japan

message: I will be starting to pick up the pace for the article, now that the World Cup has begun for the Brazilian team.  The first thing I'll be doing is updating our board for the squad.  I'll transwiki the board in use at pt.wp, which is visually very nice, but there should be a few adaptations and updates to be done.  I will also update the section for the pre-World Cup preparation.  Part of the information will be coming from transwiki-ing the article from pt.wp, but there should also be information that I've learned from the (excessive? ;)) TV coverage of the event.  I would appreciate any help with finding online sources that could corroborate the data.  Cheers to all, Redux 16:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Hi. According to Editora Mauad's 2004 book Seleção Brasileira - 90 anos - 1914-2004 by Antônio Carlos Napoleão and Roberto Assaf, Brazil has only played against Ghana once. The match was played on March 27, 1996, at Estádio Benedito Teixeira, São José do Rio Preto and Brazil won 8-2. See this link for match details.

thread_title:  Picking up the pace 

message: Oh, crap well, it's over for Brazil.  As a consequence, the main work on this article is done, now that I've added the result of the final match :P and made the final update to the board.  However, I'm considering a final section, which I'm thinking of calling "Outcome and analysis", or something along those lines (suggestions are more than welcome), in which we'd report Brazil's final standing in the World Cup (no higher than 5th, no lower than 8th, but still awaiting confirmation on that) and a review of the national squad's participation in this World Cup.  I would be very careful about the NPOV, but it would be reflective of the criticism for the below-average performance throughout the World Cup and particularly for the final match.  This is, of course, no reflection of the authors' opinions, but rather as the media and the public have viewed it.  It would also include Parreira's take on the whole thing, which had a rather different approach.  I'm not starting this right away though, but if someone wants to get it started, by all means do.  But review of wording or even rewrites for NPOV compliance, clarity and objectivity may take place.  Redux 01:18, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, the section name "Outcome and analysis" is good. I found some useful info that can be included in this section:
*Roberto Carlos fala que deixa e que continua na Seleção
*Pai de Cafu aposenta capitão da Seleção

*Parreira faz mistério quanto ao seu futuro na Seleção
*Zagallo diz que quer continuar como coordenador técnico
*  Jorginho acha que faltou liderança dentro de campo na Seleção

thread_title:  In Closing 

message: As it was done with the boards used in the "History" section as well as in other opportunities, I would appreciate previous discussions before any major overhaul of the present layout of the article.  I've just had to revert one such change, because the end result was not satisfactory — it was completely messing up the article, causing sections to overlap and such.  Although I am the creator of it, I'm of the opinion that the present design for the "Matches" section is rather good (it's a lot better than what's going on in the more general articles with results for the World Cup, if you ask me...), and I see no reason to go changing it, since there isn't even new information to be added to that section anymore (so there's no need to reaccomodate the data).  Thoughts?  Redux 13:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
