Talk:Barbados 4–2 Grenada

Ambiguous title
The current title could mean Barbados v Grenada at anything in 1994 and is therefore ambiguous. A similar article at GA is 2011 LSU vs. Alabama football game, which is a much better title. AIR corn (talk) 11:55, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Australia 31–0 American Samoa is a similar GA which does not have the "football match" disambiguation in the title. What else could Barbados v Grenada in 1994 be? Not a cricket match or rugby game, for example! I just don't think we need to disambiguate the article title, but when the article is reviewed for GA status I will interested to see others' opinion. --TBM10 (talk) 13:33, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I gave examples of association football matches at the thread at WT:FOOTBALL BCS  (Talk) 21:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * (ec) Why not a cricket game, that was my first thought? However, after a bit more investigation it appears it might be the standard naming convention for these types of articles. I have therefore opened a thread aw Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football regarding these titles. AIR corn (talk) 21:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Not much happening at the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football so it is probably best to make an official request.

– All these titles are currently ambiguous and not recognisable to most readers, two points stressed in WP:Article titles. Not terrible concerned on what these are moved to as long as it makes clear that they are describing a game of football. AIR corn (talk) 00:17, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose: I'm sorry I didn't look it up before, but "Team A v Team B (Year)" is pretty much consensus. See these conversations, especially the last one:
 * Naming convention for not-easily-named matches
 * Match article rename
 * Match Article Titles
 * BCS  (Talk) 03:11, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Support: Season articles start with the year, the matches should also start with the year. Plus the inclusion of the words "football match" disambiguates the title.  Del ♉ sion 23  (talk)  20:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support (in part) I must admit, it would make a lot more sense than the titles we have at present, which are not particularly illuminating.  How is someone supposed to know that it is a football match referred to?  I would have assumed that Barbados v Grenada (1994) referred to a cricket match, and that Scotland v Wales (1876) was an article about a rugby union match.  Poland v Hungary (1939) might even be taken as an article about a war!  While article titles should be concise, they should at least contain enough information to differentiate them from other possible meanings.  The current titles don't.  However, the consensus appears to be that versus should be expressed as v, not as vs, and I can see no reason to change that at this stage.  Skinsmoke (talk) 06:45, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with v being used instead of vs. AIR corn (talk) 12:24, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Where can I find the video of the match between Granada and Barbados in 1994? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.154.56.148 (talk) 12:39, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Technical detail - time
The lead paragraph of the article says that "for the last 7 minutes of the match, Grenada was trying to score ..."

From the body, it appears that Grenada scored to get within a goal in the 83rd minute and Barbados scored an own goal to tie the score in the 87th minute. As noted in the article, this would be the moment where Grenada would begin to benefit from scoring an own goal. So this situation would have prevailed from that moment until the end of the second half. The amount of "stoppage time" does not appear to be specified.

It is possible that either the "last 7 minutes" in the lead paragraph is an error, or it includes several minutes of stoppage time. But I am not sure. I would correct this description but I am not clear on the facts.

Also, technically the unusual situation did not occur for the last X minutes "of the match," but the last X minutes before extra time.

Urban Legend
I'm not sure how this should be reworded but it's incorrect to say this game became "something of an urban legend". An urban legend refers to something that didn't actually take place, but this match did in fact occur. The source that this sentence links to also says it isn't an urban legend (it states that it might sound like an urban legend but isn't because it actually happened). 5.133.47.155 (talk) 15:23, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
