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 all observations associated with a positive number of minutes
on the field.
