Mikalye's 23nd 2016 Puzzle - Gooooaaaaaallllllll! - Ended

Open
Mikalye

Some people think that football is a matter of life and death... I can assure them that it is much more serious than that.
Bill Shankly, Scottish Footballer, in Sunday Times 4 October 1981

As I am typing this, we are in halftime of France versus Romania, the opening match of the UEFA Euro 2016 European championship finals. As a football fan living in Europe, it became clear to me weeks ago, that this week's puzzle needed to be football themed. Since the wordplay madness that is Mikalye's Riddle Dungeon is going on simultaneously with this one, it seemed appropriate that this is a logic problem this week.

The prize this week is the obvious enough Kopanito - All Star Soccer

It is in three parts, parts one is here
part two is here
and part three is here

Enjoy,
Mikalye

Corrections/Errata

  • The original text said that there were three goalless draws in part 3, instead there were 4. The problem was corrected at around 07:30 GMT on 11 June. I apologise for the error.
  • Thanks to Adelion who noted that I had spelled Egypt as Eqypt three times in puzzle 3 for no obvious reason. This has now been fixed.
  • Thanks to Kuzurreesh and to malabagaa that noted that the stats on the Namibia goals were not correct. This has now been fixed.

There's an error in the third problem. There are 4 goalless draws, not 3

The goals against Namibia are wrong as well, Should be 9 at home and 17 away.

Yes, sadly you are correct. I have updated the errata section on the puzzle's first comment and I have fixed the error by altering the puzzle.

Not much of a problem when solving it on computer(since you can check your answers immediately), you won't even notice it, when going by clue order.
I only noticed it since I'm doing it on paper and couldn't check my answers.

edit: My written down clue order was different. :P

Bump for finding error in the 3rd one. There are not three goalless draws as written in the description.

Edit: Oh, and I see Adelion had already posted that.
