Your Guess

Tie Breaker Question : The Euro 2008 final is being held at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in the Austrian capital, Vienna. With a capacity of up to 50,000 seats, how many will watch the Cup Final?

The prize will be posted following the end of the tournament, all decisions are final and there is no cash alternative! Good luck!

As a guide, the average number of goals per game in major tournaments is usally about 2.25 and there are 31 games in the tournament so that would suggest a figure in the region of 65-75. I can't find any stats to back this up however.

As from yesterday (before the matches) there had been 38 goals, plus the goals in the matches and any to come. So I'm going for 50'ish.

There have been 16 games so far with another 15 to come. The current goal-per-game average is 2.1875 so at that rate we can expect a total of 73 (and a half!) goals in the tourney. I would say that 50-something is a low guess. I would imagine the GPG ratio will come down as the poorer teams get knocked out of the tournament but not massively so.

To be honest the games so far haven't really been that good! Only the Holland game the other night was any good(IMO). I'm not expecting any high scoring games, but obviously each to their own!

Sorry to disagree

but I think the tournament's been brilliant so far. Even ignoring tonight's thriller, almost every game I have watched has been entertaining and enjoyable. There's 4 or 5 teams with a realistic chance of winning and they all play attractivw football.

It's so much nicer without England there. I would like them to be there but I can sit back and enjoy it much more without them,
