Soviet Union v England 1958-06-17
A few changes here... firstly Soviet Union: Yuri Falin for Sergei Salnikov.
For England, no Eddie Clamp, Tom Finney or Bobby Robson in the side, these can be replaced with Ronnie Clayton, Peter Brabrook and Alan A'Court.

Couple of caps taken away for Hector Scarone... confirmed on his AUF file here
Argentina v Uruguay 1920-08-08
This was Isabelino Gradin who plays instead. I can't access his file however, I keep getting a "500 Internal Server Error".

Scarone is credited with a hat-trick in a game he doesn't play. The hat-trick was scored by Pedro Petrone instead. Germany team here as well.

Saudi Arabia v Belgium 2006-05-11
You have Talal Al-Meshal coming off for Omar Al-Ghamdi in a game he doesn't play in. He can be swapped with Saad Al-Harthi who does come off.

It was Michalis Konstantinou who came on from the bench here and not Andreas Konstantinou.

Egypt v Burkina Faso 2004-01-17
Moumouni Dagano is the goalscorer for Burkina Faso here.
Morocco v Burkina Faso 2003-11-15
I also want to put Dagano down as the 11th starter in this match as RSSSF has him down as playing but that could easily be wrong.
One match missing from 1923.
Gregg is perfectly correct. The player is Herbert Gregg - this was his only international.
That's me told. My apologies to Herbert Gregg.
One to look at here... It reports one less sub for Morocco but I'm not too concerned with that as multiple sources have different sub numbers. My concern is with the Zambia side as this reports 3 added subs, with Mbesuma, Kampamba and Nkausu as coming on off the bench instead of starting. It reports Elijah Tana, Jonas Sakuwaha and Clifford Mulenga as the starters instead, with Tana, Sakuwaha and Jonas Mulenga being the 3 added players subbed off.

I'm leaning to believe 11v11 on this one. I believe 'Sosa' and Nicholas Suazo are the same person. It's also confirmed on Wilmer Velasquez's file of RSSSF that he scores here, therefore he must play.

I don't think Carlos Hermosillo plays at all here for Mexico, but he's down as being booked.

Apologies for two more 11v11 reports, but they're surely better than nothing. I will admit though, Whilst Jorge Perez being called 'Gregg' is quite funny to me, it isn't ideal.
Match missing from 1991:
I don't trust the position logic, I am sorry. Will leave this one for now.
No need to be sorry, if you don't like it don't use it. I'll try a different route on this one another time.
Using Dridi Ferjani's book "Eagles of Carthago", the most complete record of the Tunisian team (and written by a Tunisian specialist), we get the details currently on the website. The book is not perfect but history shows that neither is 11v11!
Yes, I'd back the book ahead of 11v11 every time! The book has definitely missed the substitution in the Tunisia/DR Congo game though so that definitely needs adding. The rest are what RSSSF have gone with in relation to Kaies Ghobhbane's file but I'm okay with letting them slide. RSSSF are wrong on a lot of stuff aswell.
I would be very wary of adding these names. 11v11 has a hustory of mixing up first names with African sides, choosing the best known player in most cases. Gaoussou Diallo was the player making most appearances at this time, and he is more likely than Amadou who doesn't start appearing in the definitive Mali team lists until 1997. Bassala is the most likely Toure, but without definite evidence I prefer to keep an open mind.
I understand the wariness, some other 11v11 files on Mali I've rejected because it wasn't conclusive, such as Senegal 1-0 Mali 1996. Like the Ivory Coast game above, RSSSF has Bassala Toure down for that one but I can't justify the change because he isn't mentioned, unless he is the Ba Traore instead or 11th starter instead of the D Diakite currently attributed with it. The fact RSSSF has Bassala on 27 more caps than on here and the Ivory coast game is the only one I've found to potentially back them up shows how difficult it is to find stuff. Amadou played in the 1994 AFCON and scored in the 3rd place match so he was definitely around before 1997. But yes this may be a case of 11v11 choosing the better known player.
Bassala Toure and Amadou Pathe Diallo complete the Mali starting lineup.

A few things for Kaies Ghodhbane
Kaies comes on instead of Karim Ghorbal. Source: 11v11

Kaies is an extra substitution in this match coming on for Zoubier Beya in the 58th minute of the match, shown at 59 mins in the video here
This one I'm unsure of as there are conflicting reports. It appears a Makram Kridene plays instead of Kaies. Source: 11v11
Only mistake is the attacking Tal Ben Haim played here and not the defensive one.

This ones a bit of a stab, but RSSSF does have Ali Dyab down as playing in this match. Could the 11th Syrian starter in this match be him?

According to Soca Warriors... Carlos Edwards comes on for Leslie Fitzpatrick, not David Atiba Charles.

Just another booking error... Ronaldo doesn't play, therefore his booking should go to Ronaldao.
