Suggest to check facts. The usage predates 1978.

Actually, suggest removing, or finding a better title. elpincha 19:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Agree. The term has not been used in decades. Article provides no additional information. Merge with Argentina and Brazil football rivalry. Mariano(t/c) 07:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
No Merge. Portuguese Wikipedia has the proper article. It's higly individual fact related with rivalry only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.58.112.92 (talk • contribs)
I'm not sure I understand you. It is a highly isolated point, that is only related to the football rivalry between both countries, and nothing else. Then why shouldn't all the information of this article be at the Argentina and Brazil football rivalry article?? Currently, the article provides no aditional information to that in the 'rivalry' article , and I still see no point on having a separate one. Mariano(t/c) 07:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Did you readed the portuguese article? Did you readed the "Other versions" section? Lot of people in Brazil complain that is from Paraguay War, decades before the first world cup. If was migrated strong to football isn't not sufficient for erase the historycal mean of this word and their highly usage.
Not only the article lacks of any sources regarding the Paraguay War and further accurrences, but also has POV comments such as Brazil being the "moral winner" of the 1978 World Cup.
The Portuguese article is less POV, and since there's no portuguese version of the Argentina and Brazil football rivalry article, it is understandable to keep it. Mariano(t/c) 12:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Redirect macacos to this page? elpincha 06:53, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

No. Macacos is moneys, the animals. This is just racism-pushing.

[edit] Dubious Statement

"Some" assert that the term "Macaquitos" was first used during the War of the Triple Alliance (aka, the Paraguayan War)? Define and properly cite who those "some" people are or the statement should be removed. StudierMalMarburg (talk) 20:08, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
