- Delete. Two of its three references are two its own website. The third gives a global Alexa rank over 300,000 (surely not the world's largest football site, per claim?). Can't find a single reference to "thefinalball" or "thefinalball.com" on any United Kingdom media outlet sites (including tv, newspaper, radio, other major football sites).

- Comment: I can't find anything online either, but there's a bunch of printed football related coverage that may not be visible. As this site is currently used as a reference by 4000 of en-wiki's pages, input from Football wikiproject members would be useful (will flag this there), and the AFD should be held open for at least another week. ~ Hydronium~Hydroxide~ (Talk)~ 10:34, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Can't see any evidence of notability. Number 5 7 11:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Can't really see any third-party coverage of this, or its main variations ZeroZero or Ogol. Side note: The site shouldn't be used as a reference as it's data includes user-generated content (I'll raise this separately). However, the fact that a site is being used as a source on Wikipedia doesn't make it notable, per the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CricketArchive.
