Talk:Marta (footballer)/Archive 1

Poor article
This article should be more up to date. If anyone have information, for example apps/goals for club and national team, please share this. When is Marta born? Some places say Feb 2 others Feb 19, which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lidden (talk • contribs) 13:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

- I have made infobox (including caps and goals), honours and summary of her career at Umeå. Found everything i needed on fifa webpage and umeå's own page. Needs to be rewritten a bit by someone with better english knowledge than me. - Alexedi 19/9-07 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.62.17 (talk) 01:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

- I looked into conmebol.com and didn't saw Marta's name in the sudamericano feminino 2006 team so I'm going to remove the line in the honours for now. For reference look here: http://conmebol.com/competiciones_evento_equipos_ver.jsp?evento=1078&ano=2006&htmab=BRA&hasid=101&slangab=S

Also changed vasco da gama from senior club to youth club since she was 14 to 16. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cabredito (talk) 21:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

World Cup antics
- I'm going to add some sources that explain better her unsportsmanlike conduct during the 2011 World Cup game against the U.S. Here misconduct wasn't a "perception." It was a reality.Roninwai25 (talk) 23:25, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually as a German following the detailed and extensive reporting in the German media, I have impression it was both. Marta clearly show some unsportsmanlike behaviour (in particular constant complaining on the field and one alleged rude behaviour in the public), but this aspect got also somewhat hyped and multiplied by the media and fans/spectators. In particular the latter started to treat Marta as a scapegoat for every unsportive behaviour of her teammates or referee mistakes.--Kmhkmh (talk) 00:52, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The line about "perceived" misconduct was my doing. I didn't mean to express any WP:POV, so feel free to amend. I'd only point out that articles of top male players who cheat/persistently moan at the ref/get booed etc. tend to sweep such matters under the carpet. We should perhaps wait for Marta herself to comment and then add it to the section. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Just removed POV editorializing about Marta's FIFA 2011 conduct. Two of the articles made no reference to unsportsmanlike behavior. Other article/link was dead. Tapered (talk) 11:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * you can find sources regarding her unsportive conduct here: German sources:, , ,    english sources: , . --Kmhkmh (talk) 13:27, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
