 * ✅ New enough (GA on 8 October, and nominated on same day), long enough, and article is within policy.
 * ✅ Hook is short enough, interesting and supported by inline citations. I prefer ALT1 as it's more to the point. Not convinced it needs the word "football" in the hooks though (as I've now added links to 2014 FIFA World Cup knockout stage).
 * ✅ QPQ exempt, as they have 0 previous DYK nominations.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 12:20, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
