Overall: Article is 5x expanded since 12 Aug, long enough, adequately referenced, QPQ done. Nothing picked up on copyvio search (only the quotations, which are clearly marked). I spotted a sentence that had gone a bit awry with typos but I have fixed that. The hook is amusing (I did wonder whether it might be worth a brief descriptor of what 'Three Lions' is, but takes away from the conciseness and I'm also not a massive football fan and I "got" it, so I think I was overthinking things). So, I'd say good to go!Chocmilk03 (talk)09:20, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"The winners of each group then faced the runners-up from the other groups in quarter-finals", the maths don't seem to stack up here. Eight teams would be needed for quarter-finals but we're told that the group stages featured two groups of four?
"as Látal was unavailable having been sent off in the semi-final", the Czech Republic section mentions that he was unavailable for selection in the semi-final due to suspension?
What's the source for the player positions? The match report doesn't appear to show variances such as sweeper, etc as far as I can see?
I've used the11v11 source now, which can be found currently at ref 32. Obviously with these positions, there's a bit of leeway in exactly where they actually ended up playing and nothing was fixed in stone. But per verification, that's as good as it gets right now.The Rambling Man(Keep wearing the mask...)12:12, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
