thread_title: middlesbrough?

message: I changed "...is an American football player," to "...is an American soccer player," for two reasons:
1) I find that statement confusing. Is he an American that plays football? Or does he play American football?
2) Most other articles on people on the U.S. National team refer to them as "American soccer players.

thread_title:  The sport he plays 

message: We commonly omit A.C./F.C./C.D./C.F./S.L. etc. from club names on WP.  There is broad consensus for doing so on WT:FOOTY.  There is only one team that would be referred to as just "Milan," as F.C. Internazionale Milano is known always as either just "Inter" in Italy or "Inter Milan" outside of Italy.  Noone would ever call "Inter" just "Milan."  AfterMayAndIntoAugust (talk) 19:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. And the Manchester United example as being just "Manchester" is a misnomer... the full name of the team is Manchester United Football Club.. so the FC part of the name is omitted, leaving just Manchester United. The correct piping for the red and black team from Milan is "Milan". The correct piping for the blue and black team from Milan is "Internazionale". --JonBroxton (talk) 20:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not "commonly" omitted in the articles for other players on AC Milan.  In fact, if it's so common, why is the article for the club A.C. Milan, not Milan?  Look at the articles for most of the current squad, they all at least refer to the first inference of the club as AC Milan (See Clarence Seedorf for example.  There's no stone set way to do it, thus differentiating between the two clubs, is appropriate at least the first time, subsequent times could be different, but don't try to act like it's ALWAYS referred to as Milan, because that's just being disingenuous. 98.220.57.204 (talk) 00:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is titled A.C. Milan because there is a city in Italy called Milan. You may have heard of it. Eightball (talk) 01:10, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you ever think that the article about the city of Milan is at Milan!?  We don't refer to Liverpool F.C. as anything but Liverpool, or Real Madrid C.F. as anything but Real Madrid.  No one refers to Internazionale as "Milan," it's just not done, man.  Please, stop editing contrary to broad consensus.  This is now more than three editors who have disagreed with you.  AfterMayAndIntoAugust (talk) 01:12, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: And four or five others who, though not here now, have also reinserted AC into the article.  It's not a broad consensus and you saying so is a flat out lie.  Look at the pages for about 70% of the players who do, and have, played for the club, and you'll see it referred to as AC Milan in those articles.  There are two teams in Milan, I don't care what ITALY calls a club, the majority of the sporting world refers to it as AC Milan, including the club webpage and the articles announcing his move to the club. Please stop lying about there being a broad consensus, it makes your entire argument suspect. 98.220.57.204 (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Chill out. Take your argument to WikiProject Football if you want to change things, otherwise quit trying to start an edit war. Eightball (talk) 01:21, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: On WT:FOOTY there have been many, many discussions about omitting F.C./C.F./C.D./S.L./A.C./S.C. from the piped links to football club articles.  The fact that no fewer than three editors have disagreed with you should help convey that sentiment.  Please build consensus for your change, rather than edit warring.

thread_title:  Milan not A.C. Milan 

message: Is anyone who watches this article going to the Milan vs America match in Baltimore or any of the other matches Milan is playing in the U.S. this summer? We need a picture of Gooch for this article, and it would be great to get one of him in his new club kit. JohnnyPolo24 (talk) 16:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs a photo 

message: He is only the second, because Giuseppe Rossi is not American, he's Italian.  You can maybe change it to American-born player, but Lalas is the only other American to have played in Serie A.--76.78.59.40 (talk) 21:23, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
