Talk:List of FIFA World Cup hat-tricks/Archive 1

Table missing Leônidas and Wilimowski
Any way of making the numbers automatic so they don't all have to be changed...? --ChaChaFut 04:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

On the FIFA release
First of all, the list on Page 2 misses the hat-trick by Josef Hügi in 1954.

Secondly about the "debut hat-trick" of Harry Andersson or Gustav Wetterström. That was definitely not the debut by Gustav Wetterström, as he played during qualifying. As for Harry Andersson, from the official FIFA records he scored only one goal; however, RSSSF listed him as scoring three, taking two goals away from Tore Keller.

 * I haven't seen the Hugi hat-trick cited anywhere - can you please provide some evidence that FIFA, not anyone else, credit him with three goals during the match - as the lead states, As FIFA is the governing body of football (soccer), official hat-tricks are only noted when FIFA recognises that at least three goals were scored by one player in the one match. This same applies with Harry Andersson - FIFA don't recognise him, therefore he isn't included. However, I agree with you on the Wetterström point - that was an oversight.

 * The official FIFA match report said Hugi scored three, not to mention Page 1 of the FIFA release, under the section "Hat trick for losing side". Chanheigeorge 07:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, I didn't see him in that section. Makes you wonder how accurate the list on page 2 is... Thanks for that. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 08:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

FIFA confirms two more hat-tricks
See here. Chanheigeorge 22:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow. I'll add them to the table, in about 12 hours - unless you want to do it :). Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 22:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

One player have scored a hat-trick on his international debut: Guillermo Stábile (1930). I suppose what we mean to say here is that Stabile is the only one to do this while making his international debut in a world cup match. Are we sure that nobody else has scored a hattrick while making their debut in a non-WC match ? Tintin (talk) 18:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes. Good point, again :) Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 22:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
