New Template?[edit]

Can anyone explain why we're using this new fucked up template instead of the normal one we use for every other tournament? -- Grant .Alpaugh 17:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it's pretty disgusting...--Vitriden (talk) 15:05, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See. --necronudist (talk) 15:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so can we also agree that the squads should be sorted by numbers (once they have been issued), rather than position (which is fine until they get numbers)? I also think we should look for another way to show overage players rather than the *. Bolding perhaps? -- Grant .Alpaugh 20:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, by number it's okay. For overage players I would prefer the less-invasive italics. --necronudist (talk) 09:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Qualification[edit]

How were qualifying nations chosen? Juve2000 (talk) 01:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Football_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_-_Men's_tournament#Qualifying_criteria: this article is only the make-up of the squads. Kevin McE (talk) 07:38, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
