• "England and Italy" link to teams.
• Delink the second para links as a result.
• "allowing Italy to come back " well, not really, they just did the job, scoring their pens.
• "home soil in 1968" could link the final rather than the overall tournament here.
• " it put them level with France" in what sense?

• "once on home soil in 1966" remove "on home soil".

That takes me to "Pre-match". The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 20:19, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Done all. There were some links I shifted since they were already mentioned. Didn't add qualifying group since I think it's already clear when it says "England qualified for the tournament..." Inquired about the (H) situation. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 15:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

I've done a few of these that weren't done in the first pass, as noted above. The rest have been completed.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

• "assistant referees" link.
• Explain/link VAR.
• "selected as the video assistant referee for" link it/explain on first use, not here.
• "The match was Kuipers" The 2020 final.
• "Achilles" link.
• "stadium, in block 104, without" is that block info relevant?

Seems to be relevant given this was the block that was infiltrated specifically. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 23:59, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "19 police officers" avoid starting sentence with numeral.
• Avoid single-sentence paragraphs, there are two there.
• "performers danced to some of Dutch DJ Martin Garrix's hits" danced to music by Dutch DJ..
• "many prominent politician world leaders and famous people" many prominent individuals

Also, what makes the Daily Mirror the best source for Johnson turning up? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:27, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

I tried looking for different sources and this seems to be the best one available. Daily Mirror is not depreciated after all. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 23:59, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "forward by passing it around" the ball.
• "wanted a penalty, but" overlinked.
• " the English penalty" England, not English.
• "booked by the referee" link?

Also, is the term "booked" understood by US readers? The article is at penalty card

Yes. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 23:59, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "Chiesa dribbled " link.
• "Attendance: 67,173[3]" don't need that reference there, it's in the prose.
• UEFA investigation: merge those paras.
• "with COVID-19, with" overlinked.

That's about it. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 10:50, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I've done most of these, except for the block info, merging the UEFA investigation paragraphs, and the cited attendance in the "details" section. I didn't watch the match or have any interest in it, so it's been an interesting read for me to approach the subject in a neutral manner. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:27, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
