This template is an alternative to {{ fbml }} and is usually used alongside {{ football box }} . As the latter gives out information such as date and time, score, goalscorers, ground/stadium, attendance and referee, this template does not give those.
This only gives out information about the line-up, cards and substitutions, managers; also gives out information about the assistant referees, the fourth and fifth one, the man of the match (if there are two, one for the organization and one for the fans), and, if the match has an article in Wikinews .
