- Hi SounderBruce, I'll get onto this. The GA pass date is valid. Length I don't even have to calculate, that's no problem. All hooks are neutral and short enough. The first hook piques my interest, and both sources validate it. The source validates the second hook, though the fact that a soccer pitch can be between 50 and 100 yards wide made it kind of a disappointment when I read it was cut from 72 to 68. The third hook is confirmed by the source (though I now have to subscribe to read it again...) but is the least interesting of the three. The first hook is my preferred. All hooks are cited in the right place. Copyvio detects lead paragraphs identical here but this looks like a cheap website copying Wikipedia. As for neutrality of the whole page, I am not knowledgeable enough on the subject but nothing stands out, and I trust the GA review from The Rambling Man, a frequent collaborator on articles in this subject. So overall,
