Talk:Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament

Ties, extra time in the group stage

I assume that there is no extra time nor tie-breaking via penalty kicks in the group stage, and that tied matches are thus possible. If you can confirm that, please add it to the article. —Quantling (talk | contribs) 19:35, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Is this needed? It has not been used for ages (i see 1954 FIFA World Cup used it but i know that only after looking it up now). Was it at any time a thing, like regulary? Kante4 (talk) 19:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Draws in group stages are normal, so it is not even worth mentioning. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 20:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

The question in my mind is whether a typical reader of this page will know that there is no extra time or penalty shootout for a group stage match. If not, or if we're not sure, I'd err on the side of including the information, because it can be done briefly. Also, we do discuss these topics for the knockout stage.... —Quantling (talk | contribs) 20:52, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

1A vs. A1

If FIFA has a thing then we should follow that. Barring that, I'd think that Group A's first place team should be abbreviated as "A1" rather than "1A". At least my gut tells me that the former is what would be used in the United States. But maybe it is the case that "1A" is more common in the world or Europe generally, or France specifically??? —Quantling (talk | contribs) 16:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Lack of age restrictions

Given that the men's tournament has age restrictions, I find it noteworthy that there are no corresponding restrictions for the women's tournament. However, another editor (109.71.177.2 (talk · contribs)) disagrees. If you have thoughts on the matter, please give them here. Thank you —Quantling (talk | contribs) 13:33, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

1. Support (my own thesis) that mention is appropriate. I found myself wondering about age restrictions for the women given that they had them for the men, and I was glad that Wikipedia had an answer. The edit comment from 109.71.177.2 (talk · contribs) is "Speculation, then add this information to every single olympic article except for men’s football". I believe that other sports at the Olympics are topics that are too distant to need this contrast in their Wikipedia pages, but that the present page is not. —Quantling (talk | contribs) 13:33, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
2. Oppose There were never age restrictions for women so there is no need to add that. Kante4 (talk) 13:45, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

   Right, you know that. But there are readers of Wikipedia who are less expert about football than you. Because it is just one reasonably short sentence, I'd like to support those readers too. —Quantling (talk | contribs) 16:50, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

   When i see a football article i guess it's the "normal" senior team but as it is not for the men's tournament it is mentioned. Here, is no need. May want more input at WP:Football. Kante4 (talk) 19:59, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Canadian espionage scandal

Shouldn't the Canadian drone espionage scandal be more prominently mentioned in the article? Because it seems to be getting bigger and bigger consequences and Canada was the reigning champion. Now it's only mentioned briefly in a footnote. -- fdewaele, 27 July 2024, 20:19 CET

@Fdewaele: There is already a separate article on the scandal which is wikilinked in the footnote, so there is no need to repeat it here. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 00:09, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

The corresponding page for the 2012 WOFT has a controversy section that mentions a mixup with North Korea's anthem, as well as the Canada-U.S. semifinal. The latter also has its own article (though for the match itself and not specifically the controversial calls made by the referee Pedersen), and the details of the controversy are limited to one paragraph on the article for the tournament. Could a similar thing be considered for this article? PTFCFAN10 (talk) 00:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

But as it stands, with a very short footnote in the group results it is for all purposes completely hidden from sight. The article needs a subsection with regards to "Controversies". I'm not saying that the subsection should be very large (very short description with a link to the main article), but now it thus looks as if the affair is being swept under the carpet. -- fdewaele, 28 July 2024, 11:07 CET

Page repeating

IDK why but when I load this page, the section on the group stage seems to repeat seven times...anyone else getting this issue? I'm afraid to edit the page for fear of breaking it or making it worse. Felix Croc (talk) 00:25, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't see that issue, but to me it seems as if the only matches whose results are mentioned here are those for Group A, and for some reason there are lineups for each of those matches that would be more appropriate on the Group A-specific page. This really isn't what the page should look like... PTFCFAN10 (talk) 00:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Looking over the revision history again - why are Group B and Group C absent from previous versions of the page over the past few days? PTFCFAN10 (talk) 00:38, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
