Lacio ON REAL MADRID'S OFFICIAL WEB PAGE, PEPE IS BORN 26/02/1986! SO PLEASE CHANGE IT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.16.130.50 (talk) 14:42, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

This article is missing information about his time at Sporting Lisbon. He played half a season on loan from Maritimo at Sporting (not sure about the year). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.196.19.186 (talk • contribs)

Getafe Red Card
Too many people are editing it without giving the motives for pepes action. This being his perception of a dive having taken place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.146.10 (talk) 08:28, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you got a source for this or is it just speculation?  BEVE  ( talk ) 11:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * http://allafrica.com/stories/200904271227.html, the key paragraphs being, "Through frustration, the Portugal international kicked Casquero on the ground and a second swipe saw him direct his studs over the midfielder's back-in the ensuing melee; he struck another Getafe player (Juan Albin) in the face." And "Granted, the Gatefe player dived and the penalty decision was a little hash, but still what a terrible reaction from Pepe. Can you imagine if that happened in the English Premiership! It would be all over the place."--94.192.227.195 (talk) 22:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Pepe (intentionally) steps on Messi's hand at Copa del Rey Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona

Added Pepe's clearing by RFEF over the stamp incident. Hope that is fine... I would claim that the (intentionally) be removed from section header now hehe. :D--Sujith realmadrid (talk) 17:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Also added Alves' criticism on 2010-11 Champions League Semifinal 1st leg. It surely deserves to be mentioned, as it was very contentious?--Sujith realmadrid (talk) 17:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It can stay in as long as it's neutral. Raulseixas should not have removed a reliable statement and re-factored prose to suit their POV, as shown here, but it doesn't surprise me. The edit-warring and point scoring displayed by editors who support Real Madrid and Barcelona is, at best, pathetic. Argyle 4 Life  talk  18:56, 24 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, Argyle, read the above section ("Getafe Red Card"), where the "user" pretty much says Javier Casquero deserved to be kicked in the back - and nearly in the head! - for diving, which he did not! --Vasco Amaral (talk) 19:37, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

This is article is unbalanced
While Pepe has had may disciplinary actions taken and this article covers what caused them, it fails to mention his success as a world-class centre-back. The only thing I saw that shows something positive is his partnership with Ricardo Carvalho. How about during the 2011-2012 season, where his partnership with Sergio Ramos helped Real Madrid claim the league title. I completely agree with what this person is saying. Not only was the Pepe-Ramos defensive pairing instrumental in winning the title that season, he has also scored several goals, made assists, and had more impressive defensive outings in the last season and the current one. For example, recently he scored the winner 1-0 away from home against Espanyol — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.54.235.210 (talk) 13:45, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree.FraLiss (talk) 20:54, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Pepe is NOT a world-class centre back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.177.95 (talk) 14:21, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * "Pepe is NOT a world-class centre back." That is not an objective claim. Pepe was fundamental in the Euro 2016 for Portugal, being arguably the best defender of the European Championship. He also has had an important role in the last 2 Champions won by Real Madrid. It is completely biased and unobjective to say categorically that he "is NOT a world class centre back".

Unbalanced article bump
I updated the other post, but so my content is displayed on its own. I wanted to say that there needs to be info saying good things about Pepe along with his disciplinary lapses experienced in the past. Not only was the Pepe-Ramos defensive pairing instrumental in winning the title the 2011-2012 season, he has also scored several goals, made assists, and had more impressive defensive outings in the last season and the current one. For example, recently he scored the winner 1-0 away from home against Espanyol — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.70.118.211 (talk) 06:07, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

This article needs to be recycled completely
There are too many unimportant facts in it. More important is to have a look about his character. He is one of the most brutal football players of all time, thats worth to mention.FraLiss (talk) 20:58, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The edits you made were pretty bad to be honest. Kante4 (talk) 21:18, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

INCIDENTS are part of his CLUB CAREER, correct? Correct, thus there is no need for a section called that. And the article is not biased at all, we are merely stating facts, if it was biased he would be called a "dirty, provocative player" which is what he is in my opinion, but we can't say that in an encyclopedia.

About the user that keeps asking us to write he scored against RCD Espanyol in a 1-0 win, this is (i repeat) an encyclopedia, we are not going to refer to all the games he appears in and/or goals he scored, the article speaks of some goals he scored, a man of the match performance against Barcelona in 2008, the fact he almost single-handedly (from a defensive standpoint that is) won a championship for Porto in 2006 as the club played in 3-4-3; as you see, not only negative things are written about him, so in your opinion Mr. FraLiss, what are those unimportant things that need to be removed?

Happy Easter all --AL (talk) 01:49, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It it not standard practice to have an incidents section, nor is it included at WikiProject Football/Players. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:31, 20 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Of course it's not standard practise because most players don't develop a reputation as ill tempered and violent and so such a section is usually unnecessary. However, this player has through his own actions made for himself a reputation that is backed up by multiple incidents where he deliberately commits violent fouls against players on the ground. It's entirely justified. Waerloeg (talk) 02:29, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 June 2014
opener should read he HAS played for; it seems to be written in the past tense, and he's still an active player

Bantell7 (talk) 21:48, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

✅ agree the tenses were odd - the World cup appearances are difficult to tense as one is past and one on-going. - Arjayay (talk) 07:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Intros should be a summary of the sportsperson's career, therefore the mention of (in his case) Pepe playing for Real Madrid (in one point, his Real Madrid career will too be in the past) was 100% correct. --AL (talk) 11:36, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
