This summer we have watched three tournaments and the ending result is that 2 teams successfully defended its trophies while 1 was a new champion of its confederation.
Between 15 and 30 June the Nations Cup at the Oceania region was played that has appeared for 11 times. Instead of 8 teams 7 continued with the competition and in those 16 days 46 goals were given or 3,54 per game. Twenty one of them was in the first half, while 25 were scored in the second. Players gave 4 targets in stoppage after the first 45 minutes, and 2 of them came after the minute 90. At this category New Zealand has rolled 3 balls behind the goalkeeper in stoppage time: 2 in the first and 1 in the second. There was 1 own goal. Referees was in the mood to give 2 penalties - both of them for Fiji. One punishment has hit the post, whilst no penalties got saved. Footballers has received 1 direct red card, and 2 yellows were not issued.
From 14 June until 14 July it supposed to be a pure holiday in the European continent for its championship. However, in general it turned out to be a complete disaster with some sleeping periods. In the end the trophy was awarded to the right team which achieved all 7 victories at the event and also played the best, entertaining football from the rest 23 (it will be a very miserable number if that is divided). In that (wasted) 1 month spectators on the European championship saw 117 goals which was equal to 2,29 per match. Eight times players have pushed the ball behind its own goalkeepers. After 45 the targets was 2, and from 90 until final whistle even 9 goals were given. Four penalties were converted, while 1 was perfectly saved. One direct red card was issued, and 2 footballers received double yellow cards.
And lastly, the oldest international tournament closed this team summer championships. Copa America was scheduled from 20 June until 14 July, and in it fans saw 69 targets that gave the decimal number of 2,16 per game or adding 1 more that was scored in extra time it got risen to 2,19 per game. Two were given after the 45, whilst 6 times the ball went into goal after second stoppage. Six punishments were converted into goals (Colombia had the most penalties from others - 3 times), 3 of them were missed the target while 1 was beautifully saved. We also have witnessed 1 own goal. Direct red cards that got issued to footballers are 6, while double yellow has received 2 of them.
