Hi Ianblair23, all done bar the unlinking (I link every time now, because it's uncertain which ref may be clicked on first by a reader), and the penalty count (which is implied by the table, but I can't find an explicit ref for it). Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:00, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"He made his debut, coming on as a substitute for Ruud van Nistelrooy in a 2–0 victory over Romania in June 2005" - that comma looks a bit odd. I'd move everything after van Nistelrooy's name before the comma.
"the qualification campaign for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Helsinki" - could be read as if the World Cup was in Helsinki.........
"he scored four goals in a 11–0 victory" => an 11-0 victory
  • Added "n".
"a 11–0 victory UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match against San Marino" - think there's a word missing here somewhere
  • Indeed, but worse, we both failed to spot the repeat of "September 2011"...! Reworded.
"Twenty of his goals were scored in his home stadium, the Johan Cruyff Arena" - the reference to it being his home stadium reads a bit oddly. He's never played for Ajax, whose stadium it is, and it isn't the sole stadium used by the Dutch team, so it isn't really their "home stadium". I'd be inclined to remove those words altogether.
Think that's it..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:30, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
