I'll take this one up, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 10:18, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Initial review

Lead

 * Not a deal breaker but, "at the senior level" is probably unnecessary when comparing against other World Cup articles, in particular the only current FA 1930 FIFA World Cup.
 * Removed.
 * "The final match", perhaps a bit nitpicky but I would say it would be commonly referred to as simply the final.
 * Done.
 * Not relevant for the GAN, just a minor observation, but if FA is the eventual target the lead could perhaps do with fleshing out slightly for an article with over 30kb of prose. Golden Shoe winners and other player awards could be a good inclusion.
 * I'll work on expanding it a little later.

Host selection

 * Men's uses lower case when referring to the 1994 World Cup but upper case for the 2002 edition. Given men's isn't part of the official name lower case would probably suffice.
 * Fixed.

Venues

 * "4 July semi-final in Palo Alto, California", seems like an odd way to start a sentence. Plus why is only one of the semi-finals mentioned when the semi-finals section further on states both games were double headers.
 * The first word got chopped off in an earlier edit. Rewrote the sentence to add New England.
 * The sentence also states Palo Alto California but the semi-finals section has Stanford and Foxborough as the locations?
 * Stanford's Stadium is in a weird spot between Palo Alto and Stanford (the community/campus). I have removed it entirely, since it's not as relevant here.
 * "1994 Men's World Cup", drop men's to lower case if we're agreeing on that from earlier.
 * Fixed.
 * Link 1984 Olympics to the relevant page.
 * Done.
 * Civic Stadium is linked twice in two sentences in the first paragraph.
 * Fixed.
 * "The warm-up match at Civic, between the United States and Canada on June 6", the rest of the article uses dmy date format apart from this sentence.
 * This was added by another editor and rewritten.

Draw

 * Spartan Stadium and San Jose, California are both linked in the previous section. Don't think there's a need to repeat the link here.
 * Unlinked.
 * Is FIFA Women's World Stars likely to need an article with the red link? I'm assuming it was just a version of the World XI?
 * Looks like FIFA groups them together, so I'll pipe it and add this document to the World XI entry.

Group B

 * "after Prinz was tackled in the box", perhaps fouled would be more appropriate seems as it resulted in a penalty being given?
 * Agreed and fixed.

Group C

 * Own goal is already linked in the Group A section.
 * Fixed.

Group D

 * "last-place Australia", last-place in what?
 * Added 1995 to that.

Knockout stage

 * "If the score remains tied", should this use past tense instead (remained)?
 * Fixed.
