- Nominator(s): KingSkyLord (talk) 14:01, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because it follows all Featured List criteria (very similar to other FLs about footballers’ international goals) and it would be nice to see an Aussie who plays soccer on Today’s Featured List for a change. KingSkyLord (talk) 14:01, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Given that Cahill has retired, I think you need to change a lot of the tenses e.g. "Cahill has scored against Japan" => "Cahill scored against Japan", "Thirteen of Cahill's fifty international goals have been scored" => "Thirteen of Cahill's fifty international goals were scored" and so on..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:18, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Done @ChrisTheDude I updated the tone and the tenses so that it could be read better. KingSkyLord (talk) 16:03, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Further comments
- Photo caption - it's the Confederations (plural) Cup
- "first international hat-trick, where he scored three goals against Fiji" - I would say "when" rather than where
- "scored his 29th international goal against Costa Rica on 19 November 2013, equaling Damian Mori's national record of 29 goals" - if he equalled the record by scoring his 29th goal then obviously the record was 29, you don't need to state it again
- "On 17 November 2015, he would score" - "he scored"
- "his second (and last) ever international hat-trick" => "his second and last international hat-trick"
- "where he scored the first three goals of the match" - "when he scored the first three goals of the match"
- "Cahill scored more goals against Japan than he has against any other side" => "Cahill scored more goals against Japan than against any other side"
- "subsequently nominated for the FIFA Puskás Award for 2014" - might be worth a very brief explanation of what this award is for
- "both of whom are the two cities" => "which are the two cities"
- "that Cahill has scored the most international goals in" => "in which Cahill has scored the most international goals"
- "He has also scored against nations" => "He scored against nations"
- "The second of these was Cahill's 50th (and last) ever international goal" => "The second of these was Cahill's 50th and last international goal"
- "This made him the 59th man to reach 50 international goals." - source?
- "Cahill also scored at three AFC Asian Cups"
- "He was also named Oceania Footballer of the Year for 2004" => "He was named Oceania Footballer of the Year for 2004"
- "Updated to game played 10 October 2017" - you may as well show it as updated to the date of his last international game (as in fact the other section already is)
- Think that's it from me - can't see any issues with the table -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:36, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Done @ChrisTheDude, I fixed all of the issues you mentioned. KingSkyLord (talk) 17:48, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I made a couple of minor tweaks and now am happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:40, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Carlobunnie
[edit]Made some edits of my own to the lead to organize things a bit better but I still have some questions:
- 1st paragraph: would be good to mention how he retired (when it was announced, what his last game was, possibly mention length of his career)
- 3rd paragraph: I'm guessing it is somehow meant to center around the idea of where he scored the most int'l goals of his career? If I am wrong then my apologies, but the way the information is organized makes it difficult to determine what exactly the reader is meant to understand the point to be.
- You open with the most goals he ever scored against a side was against Japan but follow up with "He also scored against Serbia during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and against both Chile and the Netherlands at the 2014 edition." - what is the relevance of this sentence in connection to the opening sentence? Are these teams his second most scored against sides or something? If so, how many goals did he score against them to warrant being mentioned here?
- The Puskas award seems out of place here. Shouldn't the information in the lead (after the opening p'graph) either be organized chronologically so that info from like years ends up together, organized by a theme or central idea, or a separate p'graph be created for the awards/accolades he received as relates to this list? (or even noted somewhere in the opening p'graph if this is not how these sports related lists are written)
- It continues with "More than half of Cahill's international goals were scored outside of Australia" but then you say right after "He scored six times in Adelaide...and...in Sydney, the two cities where Cahill scored the most international goals." - To me, placing both of those sentences one after the other is a bit confusing (maybe even a little contradictory?) because both of the cities where he scored the MOST int'l goals are INSIDE Australia after you just said he scored MOST ("more than half of" to be precise) of his int'l goals OUTSIDE of Australia. I think the paragraph probably should have started with "More than half of Cahill's international goals were scored outside of Australia" (if that is the point of the p'graph) and then you tie in the Japan goals and other relevant info. Or the two sentences could be merged and reworded to instead say, "Although more than half of Cahill's international goals were scored outside of Australia, the two cities he scored the most in were Adelaide (all at the 2004 OFC Nations Cup) and Sydney with six goals at each." or something along those lines. Again, this is all dependant on what the point of the p'graph is.
- 4th paragraph: I assume this p'graph expounds upon his '50 international goals'? The first 3 sentences all connect to that theme so they're good.
- This sentence seems out of place, "During his career, Cahill scored at three AFC Asian Cups (2007, 2011, 2015) and one OFC Nations Cup (2004). His late equalizer against Oman at the 2007 AFC Asian Cup was Australia's first Asian Cup goal. Doesn't clearly correlate to the '50 int'l goals' at all. You need to mention how many of them he scored at both cups, ie. 'Cahill scored sixteen international goals at three AFC cups and one OFC cup".
- "Thirteen of Cahill's fifty international goals were scored in friendlies. He scored against nations from each of the six FIFA Confederations." - this sentence perfectly mentions how his 13 friendly goals relate to the 50 int's goals and that's what you need to do as I mentioned above.
- The Oceania accolade mention seems out of place here. (refer to my note about the Puskas award)
The leads of the lists for Drogba, Henry and van Persie are good examples to look at for how they address the things I've mentioned for your article. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 20:12, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support (noticed the improvements you made and the lead reads much better now -- Carlobunnie (talk) 16:28, 10 August 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Final comments
I've found I don't have the time to conduct a review with the depth I would like. Adding small bursts of comments like this instead of taking the time to do a complete review is not fair on the nominator, and @KingSkyLord: I apologise for this.
These few points are the absolute last I will post here, and I support assuming they're fixed. – Teratix ₵ 12:34, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Support – My couple of little nit-picks have been adequately addressed. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:03, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Source review – Since nobody else has done a source check for this article yet, I'll volunteer. Here's what I found:
A bunch of references are missing access dates. By my count, refs 1, 2, 10, 13, 14, 15, 18, 21, 26, 51, 54, and 55 all need them.Refs 1, 10, 15, and 53 should have en dashes in their titles instead of hyphens per the Manual of Style.- Other than those points, the formatting looks okay and the references are all reliable. The link-checker tool and spot-checks of refs 32, 34, and 41 showed no issues. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:29, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
