Euro 2012 by the passes

It’s interesting what you learn when you take a step back. The good people at Opta have recorded every movement of the European Championships so far and, thanks to their extraordinary work, we’re able to show you the all the passes that have made up all the matches that have been played at this wonderful tournament.
