Will review this article. MWright96 (talk) 10:20, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Venue

• The acronyms of the National Football League should be in parentheses on its first mention
  • Done
• Wikilink neutral-site venue to Home advantage#Neutral venues
  • Done
• "The new stadium was built to replace the old Foxboro Stadium" - former would be more formal in this instance
  • Done

Road to the final

• The United States should be delinked since it is a major geographic feature
  • Done
• "a 3–2 win for New England on May 25 and a 2–1 win" - change the second instance of "win" to victory to avoid close reptition of that particular word
  • Done

Los Angeles Galaxy

• Delink NFL since it is linked in the Venue section
  • Done
• "Veteran forward Cobi Jones enjoyed finished second in the team's goals behind Ruiz" - better; Veteran forward Cobi Jones placed second in the team's final goals scored standings behind Ruiz
  • Done

New England Revolution

• Freddy Garcia should be linked to Freddy García (footballer), not to the article on the baseball pitcher
  • Done
• "New England conceded two late goals to draw 2–2 and force overtime periods." - how many overtime periods?
  • Removed "periods"

Details

• Steve Nicol is Scottish and should have the flag of the Scotland and not the flag of England before his name
  • Done

Post-match

• "The 2002 final was attended by 61,316 spectators," - change the text in bold to game to avoid close reptition of the word "final"
  • Done

References

• Reference 50 is missing the publisher of the work
  • Done
