Talk:1967 European Cup final

Comment

"who took the ball first time and shot home from 25 yards"?

Looks the ball is just over the edge of the 18 yard box! There's always a tendency to inflate distances shots are hit from.

Lead

• I think this could be expanded a bit more. It should act as a summary for the entire article and make the reader want to read more. While you have included the important points, there is nothing about post-match.
• "The match finished 2–1 to Celtic.", meaning? Was this there first European Cup? How many finals have they contested previously. Likewise with Inter.

Done. Adam4267 (talk) 11:20, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

• "The match was said to be a victory for football...", unless you have a quote which says that to reference, I'll advise you to rephrase it.

Route to the final

• There should be a semi colon between Milan Stanić and 'this'.

done Adam4267 (talk) 18:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

• "The tie looked like it was going to end in a draw" → "The tie appeared to end in a draw"

Re-phrase this so it makes more sense. The tie appeared to end in a draw because of the late goal. Adam4267 (talk) 18:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

• Under Inter, "A Sandro Mazzola brace..." → "Two goals from Sandro Mazzola"

Done Adam4267 (talk) 18:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Match

• "All the pre-match talk was about Internazionale...", really? "As they were considered such strong favourites going into the game" does not warrant a separate sentence, merge it with the one before. Done Adam4267 (talk) 19:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
• "Internazionale were...Internazionale was", be consistant with using the plural or singular. As far as I'm aware, football clubs are singular but if you are talking about a team from a specific season, it's fine to use 'were'.
• "Celtic were an incredibly attacking team", needs a bit more expansion. Incredibly attacking suggest to a great degree, you could say "By contrast, Celtic was an attacking team..." tried to tidy this up a bit. What do you think?
• "his last match of the season was on 24 December", 24 December 1995? 1481? I know this links with a season article (1966–67 European Cup) but a year needs to be added for the ordinary reader. Done Adam4267 (talk) 19:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Summary

• Try to avoid 'journo' writing where appropriate, for instance: "relentlessly attacking".
• "whose header hit Ronnie Simpson's knees", put Celtic goalkeeper between 'hit' and 'Ronnie'.
• "Internazionale then won a penalty less than a minute later." → "Moments after Internazionale had won a penalty"
• "ultra-defensive" defensive is fine on it's own.
• "and Celtic were allowed freedom to attack" → "thus giving Celtic the impetus to attack"

Done all. Adam4267 (talk) 18:35, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Details

• Remove spacing from scoreline.

Done. Adam4267 (talk) 18:35, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Post match

• 'Celtic's triumph of attacking play over Internazionale's cattenacio was heralded as a win for football.', needs citing.

I personally feel that the quotes after it give off that impression, Herrera says "the match was a victort for sport". But if you feel differently then I will change it. I have also made some more additions to the article, what do you think about them as well as the order of paragraphs in the Background and Post-match sections? Adam4267 (talk) 11:50, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

• "Liverpool manager Bill Shankly said to him after the match", replacing with 'following the final' as 'after the match' has been repeated in the sentence before. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 11:08, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Done but the opposite way because Shankly spoke to him immediately after the match. Adam4267 (talk) 19:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
