  • My sentiments exactly - what else can be added, apart from trivia which will need quite a bit of web-trawling to find and verify. Kingfisherswift 17:41, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FC Basel (2 Votes in 7 Days)

Nominated July 3, 2006; needs at least 3 votes by July 10, 2006

  • History section starts from 1960 when it should start from 1893.
  • There are a lot of red links in the player section.
  • There is nothing about their Stadium(s), supporters, records and mangers/head coaches.
  • Is there any other wikipedia articles that can be put under a "see also" section?
  • A section about their main rival can be added.

[edit] FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 and FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 qualification (2 Votes in 7 Days)

Nominated July 6, 2006; needs at least 3 votes by July 13, 2006
Reason:

This is a major FIFA tournament and should be prepared with a high quality standard. The qualification stage is currently in progress and should be maintained as a good page along with the tournament page.

[edit] Fabio Cannavaro (1 vote in 7 days)

Nominated July 11, 2006; needs at least 3 votes by July 18, 2006
Reason:

Since this is the article of the FIFA World Cup winning captain, it has less information then the rest of the italian squad.

[edit] Joachim Löw (1 vote in 7 days)

Nominated July 13, 2006; needs at least 3 votes by July 20, 2006
Reason:

He is the new head coach for Germany. There is very little on his playing and coaching careers. There seems to be some inaccurate statistics on his playing career.

[edit] David Villa

Nominated 30 August 2006; needs at least 3 votes by 6 September 2006
Reason:

Quite short and unstructured for an article on a player of repute and recent track record.

  • 25 goals(2nd top scorer) last season in UEFA's top seeded league.
  • 3 world cup goals inspite of not even starting all of the 4 matches he played in.
  • With Valencia playing Champions League this season, if the player lives up to his billing, there would be lot of visits to the english article on him.

Nominated 31 August 2006; needs at least 3 votes by 7 September 2006
Reason:

Near enough every team on this list has no information or information verging on the lower side of ultra-sub-basic. Though not strictly 1 article, I'm sure a lot can be offered to the lot of them. The teams in question:

Nominated 12 September 2006; needs at least 3 votes by 19 September 2006

Comments:
  • I think the article should be renamed or moved to List of European national team managers (I know, I know about the words "national team"...) because a list of European football managers could be endless. Agree with your point though Dodge 03:45, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] F.C. Internazionale Milano (5 votes in 14 days)

Nominated September 11, 2006; needs at least 6 votes by September 25, 2006

One of the best managers from the past, becoming a legend at almost every club he showed up. The main issues of his career are discribed, but are in need of a huge improvement and much more detail then what's written right now.

[edit] Heysel Stadium disaster

Nominated 26 September 2006; needs at least 6 votes by 10 October 2006
Reason:
  • The Heysel Stadium disaster is one of the biggest tragedies to ever hit football. I have attempted over many months to improve this article, but very often people write on the talk page apparently disgusted by the bias present in the article. I have asked for a peer review — but got no response. I have asked for help before. Perhaps this nomination will help get people to notice that this article could do with some attention. At the very least it'd be good for people to check the article for any perceived biases and report them on the talk page. However I am more looking for new editors to take over the article. I feel that I've taken it as far as I can. aLii 16:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

That'll be me. While I don't currently have access to all my books about City, I've not found much in the ones I have to hand. I don't think my programme collection has any from those two seasons either. His time at the club was undistinguished, he only made a total of 17 starts + 8 sub. Unfortunately I doubt I could add more than about one or two sentences. I think he fared better at Norwich though. You could try User:Dweller, who is a Norwich fan.

[edit] José Mourinho (1 vote in 7 days)

Nominated 30 October 2006; needs at least 3 votes by 6 November 2006
Reason:

Probably currently the best football coach in the world: In his first 2 complete seasons as a manager, he won 2 Portuguese championships, 1 Portuguese Cup, a Champions League and a UEFA Cup with FC Porto. Then, two English Championships in two years. A very dividing and controversial figure: either you like him or hate him; called by some as an arrogant, by others as a genius. He deserves a better article. He's one of the main figures of the sport in the world.
