5 Euro records that could be broken in the 2016 edition

Euro records broken 2016
Euro 2016 kicks off in France on 10 June

4) Most goals scored by a single team in a tournament

France Euro 1984 final trophy
France won Euro in 1984 after winning all six games, scoring 14 goals in the process

In the past five editions of Euro, a team played a maximum of six games if they reached the final. With an average of two goals per game, it is no wonder then that the highest-scoring teams in a single edition have all come in the past two decades.

Save for one. The incredible France squad from 1984 led by an inspirational Michel Platini plundered their opponents and scored 14 goals. Platini himself scored nine – including two hat-tricks.

With the extra game added in Euro 2016, ironically a decision championed by Platini himself, it is possible that a team reaching the semi-finals or final could break the record set by France in 1984.

Who could it be?
