I think this passes FL? Nergaal (talk) 09:32, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comments
• Will be back later, but here's a few to be starting with........
  • "The top goalscorer of the first edition was the Argentinia's" - Argentina is spelt wrong, also there is no need for "the" in front of it
  • "His record stood for more than three decades until Brazil's Ronaldo to scored" - no need for the word "to" here
  • "The fifth Brazilian goal was credited to Jair, but are now credited to Ademir" - has a citation needed tag, not acceptable in a FL
  • Ref 1 is a bare URL, needs to be formatted
  • "Seven different players scored, with André Maschinot scoring a brace" - unnecessary use of slang, just say "scoring two goals"
  • "Davor Suker was part of the Yugoslavia's squad" - no reason for "the" to be there
• As mentioned above, I'll be back with some more later....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:54, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Fixed all these and cleaned up a few more refs. Nergaal (talk) 14:27, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• I can still see "The top goalscorer of the first edition was the Argentina's Guillermo Stábile" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:35, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• And you still have "a brace" in one of the notes (which links to a disambiguation page, by the way) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:45, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about those. Fixed. Nergaal (talk) 11:26, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
