 * " it put them level with France" in what sense?

 * Done all. There were some links I shifted since they were already mentioned. Didn't add qualifying group since I think it's already clear when it says "England qualified for the tournament..." Inquired about the (H) situation. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I've done a few of these that weren't done in the first pass, as noted above. The rest have been completed. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

 * "The match was Kuipers" The 2020 final.
 * "Achilles" link.
 * "stadium, in block 104, without" is that block info relevant?
 * Seems to be relevant given this was the block that was infiltrated specifically. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 23:59, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Avoid single-sentence paragraphs, there are two there.

 * "forward by passing it around" the ball.
 * "wanted a penalty, but" overlinked.
 * " the English penalty" England, not English.

That's about it. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 10:50, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * "Chiesa dribbled " link.
 * "Attendance: 67,173[3]" don't need that reference there, it's in the prose.
 * UEFA investigation: merge those paras.
 * "with COVID-19, with" overlinked.

I've done most of these, except for the block info, merging the UEFA investigation paragraphs, and the cited attendance in the "details" section. I didn't watch the match or have any interest in it, so it's been an interesting read for me to approach the subject in a neutral manner. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  13:27, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
