I've completed by review and have the following concerns noted below. I also copyedited most of the article. If I accidentally introduced any "Americanisms" into the text during my copyediting, I encourage you to correct them.


 * The first sentence describes the UEFA Cup Final as a single "match", while the second sentence calls the two games "the final two matches". I'm not sure what is the ideal way to refer to a two-legged final, but consistency is needed here.  Additionally, "It was the final two matches" just sounds wrong.
 * I think it reads clearer now. NapHit (talk) 14:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Are annual cup competitions normally called "seasons"? I had only heard the term used before in terms of a league.
 * I'm not really sure what else I can refer it to, technically a season refers to all the matches a team plays in that season, so in that case I think it is ok. I do agree with what your saying about league's as they are more commonly known as seasons but as these competitions ocurr within the season I think its fine.

 * Confusion over "match" is in the second paragraph as well. It is confusing to describe a match composed of two matches.  A different word is needed on one end.
 * Think I've cleared it up now. NapHit (talk) 14:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * The lead says that each team needed to progress through four rounds to advance to the final, but the body of the article describes five rounds: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Quarter, Semi. The lead should be corrected.
 * Silly mistake by me, copied that bit from European cup final article where they only play four games before the final, fixed. NapHit (talk) 14:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * In First leg Summary: "A header by Phil Neal feel short of Liverpool goalkeeper Ray Clemence allowing Brugge midfielder Raoul Lambert to take control of the ball and lob it over Clemence and into the Liverpool goal." Phil Neal was the right-back for Liverpool; I assume this was a back-pass to the goalie?  This sentence needs to be more clearly worded to give a feel as to what happened to cause the goal.
 * Yep I think I've clarified what happened now. NapHit (talk) 14:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * In the next paragraph, the first goal is described as "Liverpool took the lead"; hard to do with a two-goal deficit. Was the 59th minute when the first goal was scored or the third?

 * "His volley from a Kennedy free-kick went wide of the Brugge goal." His meaning Keegan?
 * Nope it was Smith, not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that bit. NapHit (talk) 14:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Based on articles I've written on American sports I feel there should be a couple more sections; a Statistics section, which aggregates and analyses the statistics from the match, and an Aftermath section, which discusses the media and team reactions from the final and what happened to the players, managers, and teams in subsequent seasons. * Were any players named Man of the Match, the Final, or the UEFA Cup?  This would be a good thing to mention.
 * I would love to include more sections like this, unfortunately nulike American sports, statistics and reaction are scarce for matches prior to the 2000s. I've had trouble finding match reports never mind stats and reaction. Rest assured if I come across any info I will include it. NapHit (talk) 14:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
