. . . -> 178 in total, so 1142 – 178, i.e. 964.

Furthermore, there are also discrepancies even in his numbers for the national team: if you see NFT, it has 69 instead of 74, and 11v11 has 72 including the farewell match of Zico in 1989, which was against the Rest of the World, and you can see in the club stats in 11v11 he additionally played once for the Rest of the World and once for a South America team, so probably the +2 is those matches (which would make the total 74, but we don't include those 3, including Zico's farewell, in the list). By the way, while oGol counts 74 in the total, they also have per tournament 69 in total, and finally, to add to that, all the seasons for Pescara and Torino have "Sem Competição Definida" matches.

So, bottom line, they are friendlies included, and he won't be added to the list.

Kind regards,

Paulo da Silva
Hello! Do you perhaps know how many official appearances does Paulo da Silva have? The Spanish article (link here) includes him with 1005 matches, but the known DBs, e.g. oGol, still show him far from the threshold. Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 17:04, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Do you know any source for his matches for Club 12 de Junio? He probably played there 8 times (Italian WP), but I couldn't find a source with a number, only that he played for the club and later went to Atlántida, which is the club he started football, i.e. for his last season for real this time as a player before retiring. For the latter I have this, which has references in AFA's site with lineups (one can count 8 matches till now, as the league is still ongoing), but for Club 12 de Junio for Primera División B Nacional 2023 (Paraguay) I couldn't find any source (WP has only results). P.S. I. Nonetheless, even without those 8 matches, he has passed 1,000 official matches and will be added as soon as possible to the list. P.S. II. Maybe you should consider archiving in the talk section, because at the moment it is not navigable. Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 17:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Well, some brief, hoping you can help; apart from his numbers for 12 de junio, I am also missing lineups for two matches for Toluca; the one on 9 January 2004 (Chivas Guadalajara 1–2 Toluca) and the one on 11 January 2004 (Toluca 1–2 Santos Laguna) for the InterLiga 2004 group stage, where he most likely played, taken into account he played on the first of the three matches Toluca played there that year/season (while I have found a reference for that one only and also for all the matches he played in the next InterLiga editions, I couldn't find any for those two matches). By the way, there is an archived link of the site of the tournament, but, unfortunately, without archived links for the lineups (direct link here). Tell me if you know or can find a reliable source for lineups for these matches... I also found nothing about his numbers for Presidente Hayes, Sport Colombia and Perugia; while it's likely he never made an official appearance for Perugia or played only in the youth sector, even though WP claims at least 2 league matches in the infobox, I am pretty sure he has matches for Presidente Hayes and/or Sport Colombia, even though I am not positive I will find any references because Paraguay has a small population (well, compared to other South American countries) and it's football is not known (well, like Brazil's, Argentina's, Colombia's or Uruguay's). P.S. Talking of football from Paraguay, I have also in mind to check in the future Roque Santa Cruz and Óscar Cardozo, who both may also have reached, or nearing there, a thousand of official matches.

Ivan Rakitić
Hello! Yes, I am aware; in my notes-bookmarks, he is the next new player to be added to the list, and I have been following his matches recently, i.e. specifically since the transfer to Al-Shabab, because I knew he was nearing... by the way, I haven't checked the football DBs for confirmation, so there may be more matches than what his WP bio-article claims... In the meantime, I wish to add Paulo da Silva, who seems to already have passed the milestone, but hadn't found time to add him. Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 21:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello! As he has reached 998 or 999 (based on WP) matches, we could add him as hidden on the list, however I have some querries for which I would like your opinion/input: on first looks, I cannot find a source for the match for FC Nordstern Basel which his WP bio-article career section includes, can you? Also, regarding his total for Schalke, oGol has 136 matches, even though the other known DBs claim a total of 135, including Kicker, which I consider more accurate than oGol when it comes to German clubs' numbers, perhaps you know where this extra match is coming from? If not, then I guess we can assume it is a mistake or a typo. P.S. I: Regarding Nordstern Basel, of course a newspaper article from a reliable source could be good enough as well. P.S. II: I feel like adding that I haven't yet checked, but will soon do, for the totals the official sites of the clubs have, in case they have stats, e.g. like in the case of Schalke. Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 22:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello again! Regarding Nordstern Basel, it was probably this cup match, based on TransferMarkt, but of course TransferMarkt is considered unreliable in the English WP and so cannot be used, and so other source should be found, however I failed to find any other. By the way, judging from this, it is likely he had played in a few, i.e. more than one, matches for Nordstern Basel. Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello! In addition, I am missing any source for the cup match for Basel WP has at the 2005–06 season, and it's not only that it's not on any of the known football DBs, but that the WP articles themselves (including those of other language counterparts and not only the English WP) have in their body that he only played in two matches for Basel during that season. Do you have any source for an extra match on that season? Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 14:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for the quick response. The point actually was, until now, i.e. some minutes earlier, that I couldn't even find any source, let about a reliable one, that he played for Nordstern Basel, so we couldn't even use a question mark, as we needed a reliable reference mentioning it. However, I found this lately, but I don't know anything about this site, though I didn't find any talk on WP related to it as being unreliable (even though it may be too early for such talks, as it seems like a pretty new website) and I found many football articles on WP that it has been used. For all I know, they could have well copied their numbers there from WP, but I guess we could use that as a reference for the time being. In addition, it serves also for Basel's A team numbers so to have 50 in the total as at the moment it's 49. What do you say? P.S. Including 1 match for Nordstern Basel and 50 for Basel's main team, the total is 1,000 matches. Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 15:54, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Edin Džeko
Hello! Yes, I know he is close, as I very recently made a check of players who are near to the milestone (in fact, I checked the numbers of players who have near 960 matches and above, i.e. from Jesús Navas), but there is some time before following his matches. In fact, after Ivan Rakitić, who could have reached 1,000 matches easily by now if he hadn't been injured, I think the next one to reach first 1,000 matches, before Edin Džeko, would be Robert Lewandowski, taken into he has more upcoming matches than the rest players who are close (Poland will play at the finals of the Euro, BiH no).
