Olympic games caps

The list includes matches at Olympic games despite the fact that FIFA decided in 1999 that they do not count as fully internationals. At least, for the top 3, i.e. Streich (7 Olympic caps, included), Dörner (5, included) and Croy (12, included), these caps are included. For players further down the list, however, they are not, e.g. Klaus Urbanczyk. Urbanczyk took part in 34 matches and additionally in 5 matches at Olympic Games. I think there is a lot of work needed to clear up which caps should be included and which shouldn't and the list has then to be changed accordingly.

I think it's only the 1976 Olympic campaign that the DFV/DFB count (don't know why). But yeah, this needs to be made clearer, I'll make some edits when I get time (unless someone else does). ArtVandelay13 (talk) 20:52, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, at least in Croy's case they also count 1972 one.Madcynic (talk) 21:26, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, you're right - the 1972 finals matches are counted. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 21:39, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
