The goal scoring at Euro2008 thread [R]

[Fiorentina lives!]

I have a suspicion that there will be very few goals scored in the tournament. If someone scores 4 in a game I'd be very surprised.

So far a 1-0 and a 2-0 score... 3 goals in 2 games for a 1.50 avg.

Let's see if Germany gets this movin'...

I forgot the R thing again!?!? :mad::mad: F$%^#$!

Thanks mods for fixing my f*&^up... :o

[Cris 09]

Switzerland 0 - 1 Czech
Vaclav Sverkos (70) The only shot on goal??

Portugal 2 - 0 Turkey
Pepe (61) Portugal finally show up!
Raul Meireles (90)

Austria - 1 Croatia (half time)
Modric; (4) weak penalty given

Germany - Poland

[Fiorentina lives!]

So far, zzzz...

1-0, 2-0, 1-0, 2-0

That's a 1.50 avg.

All shotouts.

Croatia was sad. They didn't even try for more and almost paid for it.

Germany was OK.

Will any team score 3 in a freakin' match?

Wow.

I am praying that one of the matches tomorrow yields a 3-2 or even a 2-1. Just a match where both teams score!

[Chess_Panther]

I think Group A was slightly more exciting and stronger than Group B...I'm expecting entertaining games today...

[Big Soccer Member]

Another day, another three more goals. Still 1.5 average, but hopefully the brillian Netherlands - Italy match will spark this tournament into life.

[Fiorentina lives!]

Yup, Holland saved the day. France couldn't crack Romania? Whoa.

I thought the 3rd Oranje goal would be counted as own goal, but hey...

Tomorrow, I do not expect improvement. Spain-Russia and Greece-Sweden could very well go 1-0 or 0-0.

Today the first hat-trick of the tournament! Given that, IIRC, no player managed one in the 64 matches of Germany 2006, which is the last hat trick scored in a major event? Anyone remembers?

Oleg Salenko scored 5 goals against cameroon in WC 1994.

[Rainer24]

I know Klose had a hat trick against the Saudis in 02.

[Fiorentina lives!]

Things have picked up! Yeah!

A
CZE 1 SUI 0
POR 2 TUR 0
POR 3 CZE 1
TUR 2 SUI 1

B
CRO 1 AUT 0
GER 2 POL 0

C
FRA 0 ROM 0
HOL 3 ITA 0

D
ESP 4 RUS 1
SWE 2 GRE 0

23 GOALS IN 10 GAMES = 2.30 AVG.

LAST 4 GAMES (IN BOLD) SAW 14 GOALS = 3.50 AVG. :)

I know there's 45 minutes left, Ibra could get another one, but my top so far :

Group A : Nihat's game winner against Czechs

Group B : Ballack goal against Austria

Group C : Sneijder goal against Italy

Group D : Ibrahimovic goal against Greece

[Fiorentina lives!]

In the end, a very good Euro offense-wise! :)

If I counted correct: 77 goals in 31 matches.

Average: 2.48

Not bad at all.

[joebarnin]

It seemed even better than that. The tournament started slowly (6 goals in the first 5 games), then gathered momentum. Ignorning the first 5 games, the average is 2.73, which is about as good as it gets these days.

[Neuwerld]

Exactly 77 goals were also scored at Euro 2004 :eek:.

Whereas 85 were scored in 2000 and 64 in 1996. 77 is a pretty good count...
