Retirement

This shows that he will never play for Serbia. Thant's why changing his national team to Serbia is totally inaccurate.

The only reasonable alternative is to also show his caps for Yugoslavia as well as his caps for Serbia & Montenegro.

This needs rewriting ASAP

This article is written REDICILOUSLY. unencyclopedic unsourced information , improper grammar , loads of exclamation marks everywhere. Who wrote this? This is COMPLETELY unencyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.29.34 (talk) 02:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Four national teams? Not actually.

Milosevic did not play for four different national teams. I know that the article at the UEFA site states so, but that is simply untrue. Even if we claim that FR Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro are different countries (which isn't the case, since there was no changing of the borders, only the name was changed), "pre-" and "post-communist" Yugoslavia are definitely the same country. Making difference between these two would be absolutely the same thing as if someone said, for example, that he had previously lived in the "Bush's United States", and he now lives in the "Obama's United States". Changing a regime doesn't change the country you live in, I guess you understand how ridiculous this idea is... And, to be specific, I believe I understand how this confusion happened. Probably someone thought that Milosevic played for SFR Yugoslavia (really, that was a communist/socialist country), but that wasn't the case, and the regime in FR Yugoslavia wasn't really changed until 2000. Sometimes even reliable sources come up with a complete nonsense and put vandalism here on Wikipedia...--Vitriden (talk) 01:53, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Completely right, but why haven't you changed it? It did it now. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx for fixing this, I also allways try to correct the messing up that occurs numerous times between SFRY, FRY and SCG. FkpCascais (talk) 11:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Three national teams? Not actually.

Totally agree with the title above. All legal and other arguments are on the side that the national teams of FRY, SCG and Serbia are not separated in any way. This is exactly what some members of Wikipedia are doing violently, not only on this page, but also on other pages of the national team. That has to stop. Nikgudz (talk) 14:59, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non-primary sources have those entries separated (1, 2, 3), so why should we do otherwise? It doesnt mean that the team is not the same, it means that the team was named differently at the time, and its the only correct way to include it - he played for the team called "Yugoslavia" (or FR Yugoslavia strictly) between 1994 and 2002, he played for the team called "Serbia and Montenegro" between 2003 and 2006, and this fact is reflected in the infobox. Including "FRY/SCG/Serbia" in the single entry actually creates confusion as the people which arent familiar with those names would have no idea what on earth is "FRY" and "SCG". Snowflake91 (talk) 14:52, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing that can not be solved by leaving a notes like on the pages of players who played for SFRY and FRY (Piksi Stojković or Predrag Mijatović for example). Also a claim "It doesnt mean that the team is not the same, it means that the team was named differently at the time..." - Yes it means, because: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslavia_national_football_team#Breakup. So, having 2 or 3 memebers (or 10) making false claims and still ignoring any relevant references, is really a violation of wikipedia rules. Nikgudz (talk) 21:27, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
