I'll take a look at this. Harrias talk 13:42, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

References
  • Be consistent about whether you link newspapers; Ukiah Daily Journal is linked, but others such as Los Angeles Times and The New York Times are not.
    • Fixed.
  • Ref #1 uses FIFA.com. Fédération Internationale de Football Association., a similar construction used a few other times, but then ref #37 just has Major League Soccer., where I would have expected mlsnet.com. Major League Soccer." Personally, I prefer just the published in all these instances; the format used in ref #1 is unnecessarily tautological. But for GA purposes, either is fine, as long as you are consistent. Note ref #39 is similar to ref #37.
    • MLSnet is not included because it is an official press release from the league; MLS has a separate media department that publishes under MLSnet/MLSsoccer. FIFA.com and UEFA.com are used similarly to distinguish media department publications from official releases.
  • In ref #47b, be consistent about whether "kicker" is capitalised.
    • Fixed.
  • Add a source for the Match officials.
    • Added.
Images
  • Are all appropriately licensed.
  • Consider adding alt text, but it isn't a GA requirement.
Prose
  • Per MOS:LEAD, the lead should summarise the article, but at the moment it doesn't include any information from the Route to the final or Post-match sections.
    • Added summaries.
  • "including a 2–1 loss in the 2002 Algarve Cup" Why is this one particularly noteworthy? Was it just the most recent? For whatever reason, it should be explained why this one is picked out.
    • Added that it was the most recent.
  • "Germany qualified by topping its qualification group ..." Can we link "qualification group" to anything here?
    • Done.
  • Explain what "4–5–1" and "4–4–2" mean, probably with a footnote.
    • Linked, but I don't think it's necessary for a niche article like this. It's unlikely that a reader of this article would not be familiar with fundamental basics of the sport.
  • Wikilink jargon terms such as "striker", "midfield", "free kick", "penalty kick", "handball", "substitute" etc. (They were all just from the first paragraph, I haven't checked for linked jargon after that.)
    • Done where I spotted them, with the exception of terms without their own articles.
  • "The team only managed a 1–0 lead at half-time.." This sounds like a POV opinion that they should have been leading by more; probably best to just trim it to "The team led by 1–0 at half-time..".
    • Fixed.

Just taking a break, reviewed to the end of the Germany section. Harrias talk 11:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • "..was dubbed the Group of death.." No need to capitalise "group" here.
    • Fixed.
  • "..scoring all three goals coming in the second half." Not quite grammatically correct here.
    • Fixed.
  • "..they were denied a penalty appeal after.." To me, this sounds like they weren't allowed to appeal: maybe remove "appeal"?
    • Fixed.
  • "..only to miss the goalpost." This is pretty meaningless: a goal misses the goalpost.
    • Fixed.
  • "..becoming the women's goal to be featured." Presumably, this should be "the first women's goal.."?
    • Fixed.
General

I'll stick this on hold for the time being. Harrias talk 12:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
