According to the research, the Greek sports club which represented Greece was Podilatikos Syllogos Athinon, not Athinaikos Athlitikos Syllogos!147.235.208.49 (talk)23:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who needs Wikipedia, they can delete this article if they wish. Wikipedia is not a reliable source anyway. People can read the full research on RSSSF. RSSSF is a reliable website. If you examine the sources of the research you can see it's reliable.79.177.155.150 (talk)22:24, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"RSSSF" is plainly not more reliable than Wikipedia.W guice (talk)03:00, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I examined the sources and I can't see that they're reliable at all, actually. It looks like a single webpage written by one guy with nothing to back up its claims.W guice (talk)03:05, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't examine the sources because you didn't look inside the books and archives of the Hellenic Olympic Committee like I did. I can't summarise the evidence I found because it's too long.147.235.212.34 (talk)05:19, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But honestly, you may delete this article. The research on RSSSF will not be deleted.147.235.212.34 (talk)05:31, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You put the names of 10 Greek players. The 11th name is Eleftherios Psaroudas.147.235.208.49 (talk)23:23, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

People simply can't accept that someone (not them 🙂) has managed to prove that football was contested during the 1896 Athens Olympic Games. No one has managed to prove that, until today.79.177.154.205 (talk)14:46, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No-one has managed to prove it at all. Assertions on a self-built website aren't proof.W guice (talk)03:07, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These are not assertions. Olympic historians who were born in the 19th century and were considered primary sources awarded Denmark with 1 point extra for the football win. The research mentions it. This is proof.147.235.212.34 (talk)05:06, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Who do you believe, an Olympic historian who was born in 1880 and was 16 years old at the time of the 1896 Olympic Games or Olympic historian Bill Mallon who was born in 1952, 56 years after the 1896 Olympic Games?147.235.212.34 (talk)05:25, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
