Serbia

Serbia should be changed to Yugoslavia. Serbia has never reached the top four. Yugoslavia consisted of many republics: Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzogovina. It is silly and completely wrong to use Serbia as a synonym of Yugoslavia. Optimismofthewill (talk) 18:22, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Agree with this - otherwise Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia and Kosovo should be also listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:1A61:6B01:A8AE:5CA0:8766:4A13 (talk) 16:03, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

I agree that it's weird. If results have to be inherited by an existing country (which would make sense given that this is what happens for West Germany and URSS), I think that Croatia should be the heir of the titles. Croatia can claim that it went on to keep alive the football tradition of Yugoslavia, as it continued to win further titles. Serbia is the biggest of the ex-Yugoslavian countries, but size is the only claim they can make to those titles. So, I'd either count them separately, or add them to the team that went on to play football at a competitive international level.--Asdrubalissimo (talk) 01:25, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

I know it seems weird, but since FIFA considers Serbia to be the only successor to Yugoslavia's World Cup record, I don't see a problem with it. You have to follow the sources, not just what "feels" right. – PeeJay 18:43, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Put Italy above Germany for victories, never beat Italy in a 1v1 in a World Cup, it became champion a fourth time only 8 YEARS after Italy did. 2603:8081:2000:59C6:9C56:445A:6BE3:B5C3 (talk) 04:16, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Number of nations

I noticed that my edit was reverted, so I wanted to discuss here--the current phrasing (" In the tournament phase, 32 teams compete for the title at venues...") is simply not accurate. It was accurate for (some) prior tournaments, but this article is about the World Cup as a whole; shouldn't it reflect the most current configuration of the tournament, which we know will be 48 teams in 2026? If not now, then when should we update this language? Meelar (talk) 15:05, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

We’re still in the 2022 WC period though so 32 teams is current. 48 teams will compete, is future tense. People clicking on the article are predominantly doing so due to the 2022 WC, hence 32 teams being now. Nampa DC (talk) 18:26, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure I agree with this, given that the 2022 tournament is over. But bracketing that--when would you propose that we switch to the 48-team phrasing? Meelar (talk) 18:58, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
What is it you don’t agree with? The 32 team tournament has just finished yes, but the article traffic right now is because of it, hence very much current. 32 is what people clicking on the article will expect to see. The prospective 48 teams is three and a half years into the future (we don’t yet know how the tournament will even be configured), thus future tense. It seems premature right now to change it so close to the one that has just ended. Nampa DC (talk) 20:05, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Plese remove Cristiano Ronaldo picture in the section where it says he is the only player who has scored in 5 world cups.

Reason: This becomes a PR to Ronaldo as the player has flopped in all editions of the world cups he had played so far. Sandwiching his image between Messi and Pele would only provide fuel to his PR.

Misplaced Pages should not become a PR page for footballers. Rather it should mention about players who are worthy to be mentioned form the competition perspective. TheCaribbeanKid (talk) 18:17, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 15:51, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Can you please elaborate on how to establish a consensus. My concern is a rather straightforward one without bias. The FIFA world cups have so many achievers and winners. The pictures of those players should take the priority. World Cups are about passion and Merely a player scoring rather simple goals in 5 editions of the World Cups is not a record that should take the precedence over champion footballers who had actually light up the tournament.
Cristiano Ronaldos record can be mentioned somewhere at the bottom of the page but not with a picture as if the player has set the World Cups on fire, certainly not the case. Also sandwiching the player photo between Messi and Pele is only helping his PR for self promotion not adding Value to the content delivery.
Hope I had explained myself better. TheCaribbeanKid (talk) 17:44, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
