 * "The 32nd and final spot was" you haven't mentioned who qualified in the previous 31 slots.

 * Suggest Uruguay v Brazil (1950 FIFA World Cup) is moved appropriately, not a GA need, but I trust you to fix this anomaly.
 * It's worth bearing in mind that this match was not a final in the traditional sense - that particular world cup was held as a simple league format rather than a knockout, and it was only by fortuitous coincidence that the top two teams happened to be playing each other for the title in the final game. I have amended the link in the article away from the misnomered redirect. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 20:03, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * "Guinness World Records state that the official crowd for the game was 173,850, but note that with illegal entrants included, who were not recorded, the figure could have been as high as 210,000.[16] T" that's a footnote, it's not relevant to this article.
