"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?
"unsuccessful penalty takers" link PK.
"marred by crowd disorder and incidents of violence" also any thoughts on Covid distribution?
"UEFA announced" link UEFA.
"of the tournament" link to UEFA European Championship. Or say it out loud.
Venue section seems to be suffering from "image sandwiching".
"three group stage, one round of 16" links?
Done. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"The current Wembley Stadium..." see MOS:CURRENT.
"owned by The Football Association and" the.
"The original stadium," there's a link for it at Wembley Stadium (1923).
Already linked further up. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"excluding 2001 to 2006, when the stadium was being rebuilt" is that sourced?
"tested for COVID-19 before" late to link Covid.
"considered two of the favourites..." by?

Ref 17 is showing as perm dead.
Fixed. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"the most recent in 2006" -> "most recently in"
"once on home soil in 1966" remove "on home soil".
"in 1968 on home soil" likewise, perhaps "as hosts" or something less tabloid.
"via a golden goal" link.
Already linked above. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"to play in a European Championship final on home soil;" again. maybe "as hosts" or "as the host nation".
"the Azzurri's first" avoid un-explained nicknames.
"The two teams " which two?
"Their last meeting" last->most recent.
"penalty shoot-out" link.
I think the (H) in the Route... section should say "Co-host" really.
"as Group J winners" qualifying group.
Done. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"an own goal " link.
"netted two" scored?
"highly defensive Switzerland with another 3–0 triumph" POV.
Reworded. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
" Ciro Immobile netting" link, and enough with the "netting".
"Having already secured a place in the knockout phase" already said that.
"heavily rotated squad" jargon.
"a very motivated and disciplined" according to?
"for offside in" link.
"each delivered a goal" scored.
"Despite substitute" link.
"successful penalty during" link.
"topping Group A, winning" qualifying group.
Done. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"drawn into Group D ... drawn into Group D " repetitive.
"England were frustrated by old rivals" POV, "held to a draw" and -old.
"despite plenty of opportunities to finish the game; despite" despite/despite.
"would be facing a difficult tie" POV.
"would be facing ... England faced Germany " repetitive.
"another chapter in the " whimsical.
"survived a scare" needs to be less tabloid, more encyc.
"a historic 2–0 win" according to whom (all of us!!)
"outplay dark horse" no.
"netting the others" no.
"that Jordan Pickford failed" perhaps mention he's the goalkeeper.
"failed to find another goal" score, not "find".
"Harry Kane took " there's only one Kane.

"Queen Elizabeth II," -Queen.
Done. — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

"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)[reply]

"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)[reply]

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)[reply]

"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)[reply]

"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)[reply]

(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)[reply]
