Comments a nice article, so comments are really just polishing.

  • Lead has four paragraphs, somewhat larger than I would expect for an article of this size.
  • " annual English football match" I'm not sure about English, after all Swansea or Cardiff could play this match. Also maybe worth accentuating the fact it's "association football".
  • You should link to the old Wembley Stadium (1923) here.
  • 19th, 21st, fifth, should use common all numerals or all words in a single sentence where this sort of thing is comparable.
  • Perhaps skip detail like "as they missed out due to their respective injuries and international commitments." out of the lead, it's something that didn't really define the event so can be included later, but not necessarily in a summary of the event.
  • "through debutant van" you already said he was making his debut.
  • "refused to get carried away" not sure this is encyclopedic in tone.
  • Background links Wembley twice, yes to the different stadia, but it's possibly confusing, so perhaps for the second one you could include "new" in the link?
  • 10, four, six... same comment as above.
  • "Before the match... roof... match ... roof". Touch repetitive.
  • "Manchester United lined up in a 4–3–2–1 formation" but the graphic in the Details section shows them as 4-4-2...
  • Fabian should be Fabien.
  • Silvestre is not linked first time.
  • Post match section relinks a number of individuals and reinserts their first names again, this isn't necessary.
  • "aged just 11 and 13" remove "just".
  • Compare ref 7 and ref 13 and ref 18 for how you present BBC sources. Consistency please!
  • "Rec. Sport. Soccer. Statistics. Foundation" is actually "Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation"

That's all, so I'll put it on hold for a while. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
