Comments

  • "the United States in the quarter-final" so for me, when I'm talking about the round in general, I'll give it the "quarter-finals" and when I'm talking about "their specific" match, I'll give it the "quarter-final". If that makes sense?
  • "estimated 1.5 billion " non-breaking space.
  • "later, when" no comma required.
  • "passing towards Rivaldo. Rivaldo let" repetitive.
  • "record As of 2021" -> lc=yes
  • "Japan and South Korea between 31 May and 30 June 2002.[1][2] Japan and South Korea" a little odd repeating that phrase and linking the sides the second time round, and I know exactly what you're doing. Maybe a gentle addition of "The national sides of" or something in the second sentence?
  • "at International Stadium" +the (could be my fault that one).
  • "attended matches in this stadium throughout" -> attended matches there throughout.
  • "was a new record" what sort of record?
    I've removed, as the source doesn't appear to say it anyway.  — Amakuru (talk) 19:01, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "final over radio and television" no need for those links.
  • "In totality" total?
  • "only later to be broken in 2006)" link the 2006 final here?
  • Some of this background might be better for post-match, the viewing figures etc are part of the post-match analysis after all.
  • "Germany-South Korea match" en-dash and link?
  • "a ball specifically" repeat of ball.
  • "The ball's design" ditto, "Its design..."?
  • "and color usage" which variant of ENG here?
  • "was entirely based" is "entirely" needed?
  • "refined syntactic foam layer" wut?
  • "superior performance characteristics" advert.
  • "more precise and predictable flight path" ditto.
  • "was notoriously criticised" notorious?
  • "some spectacular goals" according to whom?
  • "ball as being "too big" TOO BIG??! Wasn't it within the parameters of the rules governing "ball size"??
  • "stage, in which they" ->"stage where they"
    I usually suggest the opposite when I'm reviewing your articles! I kind of think a stage is not a place so "in which" sounds better, although "where" isn't totally prohibited of course.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:44, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
    Ha ha. To each, their own. This is GAN after all. I'm sure all foul language can be picked up later. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:48, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • "The injury was sustained in a friendly match against Austria" weave that into the previous sentence.
  • "Between the 1998 loss and" Between that defeat.
  • "tournament, followed by" full stop after tournament, and "He was followed....

  • "who referred a more different style of football from his predecessors" wut?
  • "called "bullyboy soccer". " cite.
  • "In this style of play emphasis was placed on aggressive play ... finesse play" play play play (sounds decidedly USENG too)....
  • "several friendlies as " already linked.

  • "Turkey, who went on to finish second in the group" not sure about this?
  • "scored, leaving Brazil down 1–0 at half-time" no need for that second clause really.

  • "the penalty area, prompting" link.
  • "prompting a red card for Alpay" sounds too passive for me, and link red card even though you've linked sent off.
  • "Rivaldo was later fined 11,670 Swiss francs by FIFA following a video review" this probably ought to be in the post-match (it's legendary after all).
  • "at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, Brazil" the, where?
  • "Belgium in Kobe." previously you name the stadiums?
  • "scoreless until he 67th minute, when Rivaldo scored" scoreless/scored repetitive.

  • "catch the shot, but he was unable to catch it " catch catch...

  • "tracked back well" (a) wut? and (b) well per whom?
  • " and shot the ball into" struck?
  • "their best chance of the game" according to whom?
  • " first time shot" shouldn't first-time be hyphenated in this usage?
  • "Germany were unable to threaten for the rest of the match" well no, they were fully able to do so, they just didn't. And I'd try a concluding sentence here too.
