How did the player score 13 goals for the team if it was their first win at 5-0? I don't see how that works.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resitate ( talk • contribs) 20:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
I just added a reference on some material I added to the article, but it didn't come out correctly. Apparently the references here were done by hand, i.e. without the <references /> tag. I've never seen it that way before. I didn't want to disturb anything, so I didn't attempt to fix my reference. - PhilipR ( talk) 07:29, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

This article needs semi-protection.
I was asked by Jaime070996 ( talk · contribs) to help rewrite and expand the WP:LEDE, so here goes;
How I normally try to write a good lede;
The first statement, about what it is, is very important. The current one is not too bad, really;
The El Salvador national football team represents El Salvador in international association football and is controlled by the El Salvador Football Federation
The only issue being the duplication of "El Salvador" 3 times, which is tricky to avoid.
For the rest of the lede, I usually try to read through the whole article, trying to take the absolute essential points from each part. I'll show my notes below. The parts in (brackets) are 'possibly' not worth mentioning, maybe excess details;
Began in 1921 (Gustavo "Taviche" Marroquin scored 5 goals against to-be-rivals Honduras) Competed in two World Cup competitions, 1970 and 1982. (2010 FESFUT suspended by FIFA due to government interference)
Concaf 10 times; '63 and '81 runners-up; 77 3rd place; (2002 and 2003 qtr finals) CCCF champs in 1943, 2nd in '41 and '61 Also UNCAF (3rd x 3), Pan American Games recordand Olympics Central American and Caribbean Games 2 x Gold
Maybe a v brief mention - colors, describe maybe?
The only note, really, is - 21 man squad
Unless there is some extra-specially-notable player, in which case, they might be worth noting
Top scorers; Jorge "Mágico" González 41 Raúl Díaz Arce 39 Most appearances: Luis Guevara Mora 89
Manager José Luis Rugamas
- covered above
Using the above logic, and my own judgement/wording, I've rewritten the lede as;
The El Salvador national football team represents El Salvador in international association football and is controlled by the FESFUT. After the formation in 1921, the player Gustavo "Taviche" Marroquin scored 5 goals against the Honduras, beginning a lengthy rivalty.
The team competed in two World Cup competitions, in 1970 and 1982. They were CCCF champions in 1943, and second-placed in 1941 and 1961. They have competed in the CONCACAF Gold Cup ten times, finishing as runners-up in 1963 and 1981. La Selecta also competed in the UNCAF Nations Cup, the Pan American Games, the Olympics, and have achieved two gold medals in the Central American and Caribbean Games.
They play in a mostly sky-blue kit, which from 2008 included the Mitre logo.
The top-scoring player is Jorge "Mágico" González (41 goals), the next closest being Raúl Díaz Arce with 39. Luis Guevara Mora is the player with the most caps, at 89. The manager is José Luis Rugamas.
I have done my best, but I'm sure that this is not entirely accurate; however, I place it as lede because I hope it is better than the current one.
In particular, please note that the lede should adequately summarize the article, but should not include information that is not elaborated upon elsewhere.
For that specific reason, I have not included mention of the Football War - this should certainly be in the article, but as it is not, in my talk of rewriting the lede, I could not help with that.

On the "Other tournament records" section the Copa Centroamericana and the CCCF Championship Record are in a table. Do you thing it would be better to put the "Central American and Caribbean Games," "Olympic Games record," and "Pan American Games record" as a table to? I would love to do it if you let me.

File:FESFUT logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have put this up as the history of the page hasn't been updated since 2013 and their is sections in the article that isn't cited. An example of this is the fact that the CONCACAF Championship record summary doesn't have any citations in that particular section of the article. Matt294069 ( talk) 00:55, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Result: Delisted. Legitimate concerns, no opposition or improvements made; Matters raised in the reassessment were not addressed. These matters will remain valid until the next GA Review, whereupon they must be addressed first. -- Whiteguru ( talk) 06:08, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
