Suggested improvements[edit]

At present the table in the article does not sort the dates correctly and produces some strange results. Also it might be helpful to use the {{sortname|}} template for the players.

After trial and error on List of England international footballers (alphabetical), the only format that sorts dates correctly is YYYY MM DD.

If you adopt my suggestion, the table would look like this.

Name	Date of birth	Caps	Goals	Date of first cap	Opponent	Date of last cap	Opponent	Other
Alex Bunbury	1967 05 18	64	16	1986 08 24	Singapore	1997 11 16	Costa Rica
Nick Dasovic	1968 12 05	63	2	1992 04 02	China	2004 01 18	Barbados
Lyndon Hooper	1966 05 30	66	3	1986 08 24	Singapore	1997 06 01	Costa Rica
Randy Samuel	1963 12 23	82	0	1983 12 11	Honduras	1997 11 16	Costa Rica	Canada's most capped player
Mark Watson	1970 09 08	77	3	1991 06 28	Honduras	2004 10 13	Costa Rica

p.s. The article name should also be changed to List of Canada international soccer players to be consistent with all the other lists at Category:Lists of footballers by national team. Daemonic Kangaroo 16:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with both suggestions! I am not very good with formating, hence my simplistic tables, and I couldn't decide what to call the article as the national page title is different to the norm (include's "mens" and replaces "football" with "soccer") GiantSnowman 17:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

changing title to List of Canadian men's international soccer players[edit]

Since this list is about the men's team, is there any opposition to re-naming it List of Canadian men's international soccer players? Hmlarson (talk) 00:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Or expand to include the women? Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:16, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What's your preference? Hmlarson (talk) 00:38, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move and create the other. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:44, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There should be two lists, to match the articles on the men's/women's national teams. Giant Snowman 06:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
