Refs in the first and third para of the lead? Move 'em out.
The lead is now rewritten actually... should be a summary of the article
"The Stade de France held the " is a full sentence, so full stop, plus could add "(pictured in 2016)" in there too.
Link penalty shoot-out in lead.
" on golden goals" just the one, presumably, and link.
"very first time in team history" ->"first time."
"backfired" slightly journalistic.
"been a crucial member" according to?
"created three" assisted?
'a ball specifically' don't repeat ball here.
" the flag of France.[15][16" ovelrinked.
"to watch" at the 1998 World Cup." cite?
"the quarter-final in 1986" but the link is to the final?
"after 4 minutes" four.
"went to extra time, with" overlinked.
"settled by a penalty shoot-out.[35] Brazil" ditto.
"with Dunga scoring" ditto.
"alongside Denmark" ditto.
"scoring from a cross" link cross
"they met Italy, the " overlinked.
Avoid single-sentence para (the odds).
" to referee the" link.
"including the final of the" fix that link.
"assistant referees" link.
"7:48pm" non-breaking spaces between time and am/pm per MOS.
"At 8:18," pm.
" of Zé Carlos" redirects to a dab.
"9pm" see above.
"from Junior Baiano " missing a diacritic.
"On 5 minutes"five?
I think for consistency, all match times are done as numerals. — Amakuru (talk) 22:15, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
""taken by Emmanuel Petit.[71]" overlinked.
"from Dunga, but" same.
"booking" link.
"Brazil substitution as" overlinked.
"when Denílson hit " ditto.
"of Marcel Desailly after" overlinked.
"two reckless fouls" odd link.
"Midfielder Emmanuel Petit wrapped up the scoring in the 90+3rd minute" overlinked, if you want to introduce him, do it on the first mention, wrapped up isn't great, and 90+3rd -> 93rd...
Second half of match report is a little lightweight?
Expanded. — Amakuru (talk) 23:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Taffarel and Baiano missing diacritics in the team listing.
Stats table could use row/col scopes.
"de facto final" wut?
That was that year with no real final, because the whoel thing was a league. I've changed it to "final match" if that helps. — Amakuru (talk) 22:15, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"President Chirac handed" no need to repeat President.
Ref 8, shouting/RS?
I've removed the bits cited to that source. — Amakuru (talk) 23:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 14, no "The" in the work.
Ref 29, work?
Ref 30, work?
Ref 32, date?
Refs 41 to 44, .com, check others, 11v11 or 11v11.com consistency.
Ref 46, BBC Sport?
Ref 52, date.
Ref 72, sub and title?
Ref 75, is this the same as the linked YouTube match coverage?
It's no longer in the article. — Amakuru (talk) 23:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 77, link Phil and en-dash in score.
Ref 78, like ref 75, are these all the same, can they be if not? And here, consistency on FIFA etc.
It's no longer in the article. — Amakuru (talk) 23:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 79, BBC Sport link/italics.
Ref 80, link indy.
Ref 81, BBC Sport link/italics.
