Battle of Bordeaux (1938 FIFA World Cup)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Not a particularly remarkable game. Despite the nickname, which the article describes as an "informal" one anyway. It had some fouls. A couple of Brazilians were sent off. One of four quarter-finals. It made one record (which could be covered in FIFA World Cup records and statistics). That record lasted until... the World Cup after the next one (1950 was the only World Cup between 1938 and 1954). A player "suffered a broken right arm and right leg respectively in the mayhem" ... ? This happens all the time in sport. Players leaving the field with injuries? What is notable about this? The game had only two goals. Neither of them were important or involved any records. And "a 30-minute extra time had to be played"? Again, routine. This happens all the time in football. What is the point of it existing separately from 1938 FIFA World Cup final tournament? Neither team won the World Cup. Neither team even made the final.

 * Keep This does appear to be mythos building, but it passes GNG so that's not a reason to remove it. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 11:51, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to 1938 FIFA World Cup final tournament. That paragraph would fit perfectly in the parent article with the sensationalist parts pruned. Jdcooper (talk) 00:12, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
