Who is a member of the team?[change source]

The 2012 Olympic team had a "back up squad". In other words, there were four "alternates" on the team which won a silver medal -- see

My guess is that these four players did not receive medals; but even if they did not stand with the team at the Olympic award ceremonies, I wonder if their names should be included in this list article?

How do we decide who belongs in this article and who does not? --Horeki (talk) 15:40, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They would have received medals. The official alternates on teams win medals I do believe. I know they did in ice hockey at the winter olympics so I wouldn't think soccer would be any different. However, if they didn't play in a game I wouldn't include them. Lists like this usually only include players who made it into a game. -DJSasso (talk) 16:20, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
