    I found this on another thread and thought I'd post about it here. It seems as though Euro 2004' official website lists some really in depth statistics.
    Check it out fwiw.

    It looks as though they're tracking them for individual players too.
    Here's a press release about it.

    This is just under the passing category alone:
    OVERW - Overview
    PC % - Passes completion %
    SPC % - Short pass completion %
    LPC % - Long passes completion %
    CC % - Cross completion %
    TC % - Throw-in completion %
    PS - Passes
    SPS - Short passes
    LPS - Long passes
    CR - Crosses
    TI - Throw-ins
    PC - Passes completed
    SPC - Short passes completed
    LPC - Long passes completed
    CC - Crosses completed
    TC - Throw-ins completed

    When you click on caomparing the teams to each other you get some really neat breakdowns. The passing stuff really sticks out to me. For example, in a recent game France completed 1,408 passes. I don't particularly care for the 'short pass' vs. 'long pass' because it's not easily definable but despite it's inherent inacuracy that'd be a neat way to look at what kind of style a team plays.
