I've worked on this list quite a bit and I think it is complete. I would appreciate any feedback about its contents, and what would miss to be a FL.

Comments by Mike Christie edit
I'll add comments here as I go through.
- The first sentence starts "Over 20 goals were scored": shouldn't this be "have been scored"? Also, I'd suggest "penalties converted during shootouts" rather than "converted penalties during shootouts".
- Just Fontaine holds the record for goals scored in a single finals tournament. I think you should state that somewhere. It's apparent that that's the case from the data, but it is such a remarkable feat that I think it deserves to be specifically mentioned.
- As far as I can tell, the timeline section sorts the players by the actual time in the game that each goal was scored, which is a nice touch. I think this should be mentioned, perhaps in the text above the table, as it's not clear to the reader otherwise.
- "Since the first goal of the tournaments was scored by French player Lucien Laurent at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, over 1200 players have scored goals at the final tournaments": this is "tournaments" three times and "final tournaments" twice in the first two sentences. How about "Since the first goal, scored by French player Lucien Laurent at the 1930 World Cup, over 1,200 players have scored goals at these tournaments." I'd also suggest changing "at the initial tournament" to "in 1930" in the following sentence.
That's everything I can see. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:39, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the edits and suggestions. For #3 I am not sure how to fix that. The caption already says "Progressive list of". Nergaal (talk) 18:21, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- The fixes look good; I copyedited a little. For #3, how about adding a sentence to [nb 5]: "The order in which these players are listed reflects the actual elapsed time in the games when their goals were scored", or something along those lines?
