The country of birth is not "Costa Marfi" or "Costa Marfil"..the correct name is "Ivory Coast" or Cote d'Ivoire". This correction applies to ALL Ivory Coast players.
(Costa de marfil is the name of the Ivory Coast in Spanish, but the country's official language is French. In English speaking arenas, the country has been designated by the names "Cote d'Ivoire" or "Ivory Coast". The Ivory Coast has no historic link whatsoever with Spain.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.185.66.58 (talk • contribs)
- And since Wikipedia notes the national team at Cote d'Ivoire, let's keep it that way. Nicely spotted. Bobo. 05:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Height
How tall is Toure? His height is listed on Goal.com as 187cm, while on his official FCB profile he's listed as 1.91. I updated it to the most recent profile (that of FCB, thus 1.91), but am not sure about the standard for judging height. Isaiah 02:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
