Spain are a team with the most chances to create goals. Or the pass that leads to the most chances to score a goal. Because they managed to do it 81 times, followed closely by France with 77 times, while the Netherlands and England managed to do it only 55 times and 39 times respectively.
Spain are also the most accurate team at passing the ball out of the four, with 30.77%, followed by France with 25.29%, the Netherlands with exactly 25% and England with 24.24%.
