Review of revision 4223524 [Passed][edit]

@Pi zero: Thanks for the review comments. Abot the table.
First column is for position in the table. Next one is for the team name. GF means the number of goals that team scored. GA means the number of goals they conceded. GD is the goal difference, and points is for the points that team won. (3 for win, 1 for draw). Should I add it again?

Well, it seems that FIFA sources have group tables, which is detalied one.

My thinking on this: With your explanation of the meanings of the columns, it's clear the data is correct. A general reader isn't going to know what those columns mean though (indeed, you've explained what the columns contain and I'm still puzzled by headings GF/GA); to be meaningful to a general reader the columns would need headings that make their meanings clear, and then one would wonder why the information in those columns GF/GA/GD is worth stating. As well as what "Group A" is, given that the table is in an extremely prominent place in the article, ahead of the table of information about the game that's the focus of the article. I'm doubtful the group table "works", here. It seems one would want support from the article body; tables should I think be summaries of information in the body or, at most, further expansions of information in the body, rather than independent of the text. --Pi zero (talk) 15:19, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Pi zero: Well, the article is not even ready. England vs Russia is to be added, but the other two match reports are ready, if you want to proofread, verify, you may begin it. (It is actually the last day for that article)
