  • Rothman's Football Yearbook, compiled by Jack Rollin et al. (various publishers) for a number of years

  • Raoul da Silva's collection of international football results
  • The rec.sport.soccer newsgroup
  • The RSSSF Archive and its many correspondents
  • Electronic news services such as Nando
  • FIFA's official web site, though their archive material suffers from lack of checking.
  • The official websites of various national football federations
  • Enthusiasts who maintain lists of their country's international results,
  • Last, but by no means least, the dozens of individuals who have written in with information about specific matches played by their own national teams. Many thanks to them.
