Comments That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:57, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Refs in the first and third para of the lead? Move 'em out.
 * The lead is now rewritten actually... should be a summary of the article
 * "The Stade de France held the " is a full sentence, so full stop, plus could add "(pictured in 2016)" in there too.
 * Link penalty shoot-out in lead.
 * " on golden goals" just the one, presumably, and link.
 * "very first time in team history" ->"first time."
 * "backfired" slightly journalistic.
 * "been a crucial member" according to?
 * "created three" assisted?
 * 'a ball specifically' don't repeat ball here.
 * " the flag of France.[15][16" ovelrinked.

 * "settled by a penalty shoot-out.[35] Brazil" ditto.
 * "with Dunga scoring" ditto.
 * "alongside Denmark" ditto.
 * "scoring from a cross" link cross
 * "they met Italy, the " overlinked.
 * Avoid single-sentence para (the odds).
 * " to referee the" link.
 * "including the final of the" fix that link.
 * "assistant referees" link.
 * "7:48pm" non-breaking spaces between time and am/pm per MOS.
 * "At 8:18," pm.
 * " of Zé Carlos" redirects to a dab.
 * "9pm" see above.

 * ""taken by Emmanuel Petit.[71]" overlinked.
 * "from Dunga, but" same.
 * "booking" link.
 * "Brazil substitution as" overlinked.
 * "when Denílson hit " ditto.
 * "of Marcel Desailly after" overlinked.
 * "two reckless fouls" odd link.
 * "Midfielder Emmanuel Petit wrapped up the scoring in the 90+3rd minute" overlinked, if you want to introduce him, do it on the first mention, wrapped up isn't great, and 90+3rd -> 93rd...
 * Second half of match report is a little lightweight?
 * Expanded. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 23:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Taffarel and Baiano missing diacritics in the team listing.
 * Stats table could use row/col scopes.
 * "de facto final" wut?
 * That was that year with no real final, because the whoel thing was a league. I've changed it to "final match" if that helps. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:15, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * "President Chirac handed" no need to repeat President.

 * Ref 46, BBC Sport?

 * Ref 72, sub and title?
 * Ref 75, is this the same as the linked YouTube match coverage?
 * It's no longer in the article. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 23:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 77, link Phil and en-dash in score.
 * Ref 78, like ref 75, are these all the same, can they be if not? And here, consistency on FIFA etc.

 * Ref 79, BBC Sport link/italics.
 * Ref 80, link indy.
