   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• You should add the city where the tournament was held not just the stadium.
• "Held on the weekend of 2–3 August 2008, the participants" - participants of the tournament

Background

• "Spanish champions Real Madrid" - champions of what?

Summary

• Line up should be just a single word
• Don't write Real Madrid as "Real".
• "Van Nistelrooy almost scored inside three minutes" - inside of what half exactly?
• "put the striker off by rushing towards him" - put the striker off is informal
• "Real dominated and were punished for missing a host of chances" - missing multiple chances to extend their lead
• "Receiving the ball from the left-hand corner" - left-hand corner of what exactly?
• "the striker curled the ball past Dudek" - goalkeeper Dudek
• "but Real sealed the win five minutes from time through Daniel Parejo." - How dd Parejo score?
• Wikilink the word penalty to the appropriate article
• "The striker was booed throughout the tournament as he failed to clarify his future" - failed to clarify his plans for the future
• Wenger should have his first name spelt out and he should be wikilinked and mention he is the manager of Arsenal
• ""Wenger confirmed Adebayor had agreed a contract extension, adding" - clarify that Adebayor agreed a contract expansion with the club
• "Arsenal were beaten by- defeated

Standings

• "Each team plays two matches," - should be in past tense

Articles looks good but am putting the review on hold until the necessary improvements have been made. MWright96 (talk) 13:40, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
