Info created by Granada - uploaded by Granada - nominated by Granada -- Granada (talk) 06:07, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support The upcoming world champion 2018 ;) It's not perfectly shot from the center of the line-up, but imagine a soccer game where dozens of photographers want to get hold of this group shot, but not everyone can stand in the first row. And then try to anticipate where the center of the group will be beforehand. So I'm very happy with this image shot from the first row and just 1m from the center. I've uploaded it directly after the match and it's already been shared in the news (with a perfect attribution) -- Granada (talk) 06:07, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Normally, whenever you see a shot like this on Commons, you can bet your ass that it's a copyright violation :-P --El Grafo (talk) 08:32, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support I was going to protest the uniqueness of the image since the situation is fairly ordinary and there are millions of team photos on the web - it's not like this is a WC final or a famous team (yet) - but then I realized that as far as Commons are concerned, this is probably quite unique indeed.--Peulle (talk) 11:26, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question Could someone explain why this photo is unique and notable? So far the comments all seem to be from the perspective of sports fanatics who know some special context. --Eve Teschlemacher (talk) 21:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Basically what Peulle said. It's a fairly standard team photo taken prior to a male international association football match. The context here is access to take such photos is highly restricted. Think photographers working for Reuters, AP, AFP etc. So it's rare in the context of Wikimedia Commons for such a photo not to be a copyright violation. -- KTC (talk) 23:15, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused about whether this is a famous team. Puelle said they're not famous. Granada implies they have a shot at being world champions (or was that a joke because they're actually nobodies?). Is this the national team from Brazil? If so, I'd assume that they'd be famous. —Eve Teschlemacher (talk) 23:44, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's the Brazil national team. What do you mean by famous? Individually, each of the players are well known, some of the best in the world etc., including one who is the world most expensive footballer by transfer fee. As a footballing nation, Brazil is one of the if not the most famous. But this particular group of players, they haven't won anything yet, it was just a friendly match. Compare to say a team photo taken at this match. -- KTC (talk) 00:43, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Eve Teschlemacher: I think KTC summarized it fairly well, but just to clarify my own point, I'll elaborate. This is the real Brazil team, so they are famous, but they're not legendary. The 1974 Netherlands team with Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep etc. is legendary. The 1962 Brazil squad with Garrincha, Vavá and Pelé is legendary. This team is just the current Brazil squad and we don't know if they will reach such heights yet, meaning that an image of the squad might have less of a wow factor and be less "featurable" since there are literally millions of photos of national teams out there. It was also just a normal friendly match, not an image taken in an extraordinary situation. The reason this is still eligible for FP on Commons is that most images like these are taken by photographers who retain their copyrights and as such the images don't find their way to Commons. Remember, images with FP status are described as "some of the finest on Commons". Note: on Commons, not "on the web" or "in existence". Since there are so few of these images on Commons in the first place, that can make the image eligible for FP.--Peulle (talk) 09:18, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
