[edit] POV

Okay, why does the first sentence mention about the team not succeeding so well? --84.249.252.211 12:02, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Look, that's not POV: They aren't succeding. They haven't even qualified for the world cup since the early 80's. -Kookykman|(t)e 17:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number

I think that to try to put a number next to the player is not imporant. Especially that it is always changing for most of the players.

[edit] Players

I will reedit the section on the players, so people will be able to see the last call up.--Soopafred 18:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Great work so far, but will you be cleaning up the forwards to be consistent with the other players? Jmcnally 18:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. I didn`t have time to finish it because I forgot about it. --Soopafred 14:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] just checking

"Maple Leaves" or "Maple Leafs" ?

Don't know, but I'd prefer Maple Leaves. -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Isn't Maple Leaves a name people use in a derogatory way when talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs? Is it really a nickname for the Canadian NT? --Bigdottawa 21:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe you're thinking of "Maple Laughs" -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category renaming

[edit] Former MNT numbers

Do we seriously need to list every player with over ten caps since the 1920s? I was going to edit it, but I wasn't sure what I should do. DamionOWA 06:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC) EDIT: also the full table of our all-time records. Do we need that? The article is pretty long.

the over ten caps is informative and found no place else. i d like to the all-times results records go though. i also restored the player pool tables Mayumashu 14:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kit colours

Panarjedde insists that this line in Template talk:Football kit means representations of colours only are what a kit is for: "To create a new pattern template follow the examples below. When you have created a new pattern please add it to the list below. Do not create patterns for minor details on a kit, the template is for showing basic team colours. It is not supposed to be an accurate drawing of the kit." Now, I admit that it says "basic team colours", but if all that was intended was the showing of colours, then we'd have a box with colours listed, not a depiction of the jersey. Read the kit template talk and you'll see there's little consensus as to what exactly the "right" way to use the kit template is, but most conflict is over the addition of features much more minor than the ones that have been on this kit for a month prior to Panarjedde's changes. It's clear by a look around the kit template and football teams articles that while the jerseys are not an attempt at reproduction, they are an attempt at a fair depiction of the kit. Panarjedde's version has black or white sides on the shirt where the jersey clearly only has one side coloured. Plenty of football kits around Wikipedia have features such as this depicted correctly. The following three are examples of the kit depicted before I made my edits, after my edits, and after Panarjedde's edits. I stand by my edits. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 12:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Forthcoming fixtures

I see the forthcoming fixtures and recent results were removed. The person doing so, seemed to be pointing to that the information should be at Wikinews, however there is no information I could find there at all, on the Canadian national soccer team. I can see a lot of valid reasons that this information shouldn't be here. However for the information to not be here, other criteria needs to be achieved. I think the information needs to be elsewhere, and the location of that information should be listed here. Nfitz 18:35, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
