Quality

[edit]

This article needs a ton of work. There is a decent introduction, then the first round description is incomplete. The quarterfinals are described with plenty of space (but two games are hard to follow and with some useless trivia), but semifinals are absent and there are two (2) lines about the final!

first use of golden goal?

[edit]

was this the first instance whena golden goal rule was used? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.200.115.170 (talk) 16:04, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

[edit]

I've removed all this from the lede:

After the introduction of the first FIFA World Cup in 1930 (which had, in itself led to the absence of a football tournament from the 1932 Games programme), competing nations would from now on only be permitted to play their best players if those players were amateur or (where national associations were assisted by interested states to traverse such a rule) where professional players were state-sponsored.[1][2] However, since those players were counted as senior squad players, their results would be still counted as senior side's results until 1992.

Points:

  1. "competing nations would from now on only be permitted to play their best players if those players were amateur" is a longwinded way of saying "players had to be amateur". But Olympic football was always amateur-only since 1896; the introduction of the World Cup did not change that. Perhaps the decrease in the prestige of the Olympic title made it less tempting for national FAs to smuggle shamateurs into their Olympic teams? This seems intended to bolster the Four stars above Uruguay's football crest argument that the 1924 and 1928 tournaments were "open" as opposed to broken-time + shamateur. That article is poorly sourced and this article offers no source at all.
  2. "where national associations were assisted by interested states to traverse such a rule" -- this sounds like an allusion to the Cold War Eastern-bloc shamateurs? Which has nothing to do with 1936.
  3. "their results would be still counted as senior side's results until 1992" -- Which national FAs counted Olympic matches as full internationals varied before and after 1936. As for FIFA: according to RSSSF ([1]) "FIFA decided in 1999 that while all Olympic matches from 1908-1952 (bar those involving Great Britain or countries with a professional league who sent amateur squads, e.g. Austria in 1936) are full internationals, all matches since the sixties are not at all recognised, while for the intermediate part additional analysis will be made"
