Notes: The sample excludes goalkeepers, players of Austrian or Swiss nationality, or
players for whom we have observations in one season only or only either after or before
the official Euro 2008 qualification date. Output per minutes measures are calculated
using only observations associated with a positive number of minutes on the field.
