Around half of the 51 games in the European Football Championship have been played since Sunday. While the previous average of 2.3 goals per game (60 hits in 26 games) gives hope that the goal will continue and that the highest total of 108 goals will be cracked at the 2016 European Championship, another record was set before the final round set: Never before has the ball wriggled so often in its own net as in this tournament.
