I make the average 2.22 right now, that's after today's Portugal v Czech Republic match and before Switzerland v Turkey.

If we stopped right now who would be winning, let me see - it would be Doobey. Bang on the money with 2.22. To the rest of you don't give up I have a feeling this could change.

Prior to tonights matches the average is 2.55, closest with 2.56 is Roger Athlon. Off to watch the matches.

[Simon]

My how quickly averages change.

Following last nights two 1-0 victories for Germany and Croatia the average number of goals scored for the tournament so far is 2.40. That means ISMU is in the lead.

Is anybody interested?

i'm enthralled Simon!

must admit i watched France v Italy tonight to see mr va va voom!

don't ask me the score though!

[Charles.C]

mr va va voom!

I didn't know Nadal was playing ?

Or is it the referee ?

Charles

PS @ Simon, not that I'm getting anxious but what is the conclusion if the final calculated average is something like 2.355, >> 35 or 36 ? Perhaps it was in the rules (somewhere back yonder )

No it wasn't (I'm not that smart). It will be something like whatever my excel spreadsheet tells me it is, or how much I like someone (or not). No seriously I'm not that lacking in moral fibre. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Anyway it wasn’t a bad guess Charles as the current average is 2.363636 or 2.36, which means Kox is in the lead.

Cheers,
Simon

With just three games to go in Euro 2008 the number of goals scored so far is 78 with the average number of goals per game 2.78. Sujit is currently in line for the sports shirt.

It's getting exciting...

Dear Simon,

Well, I happened to notice that averaging the last two results and subtracting 0.05 >> fancy that !

Looks like there are a few bargains around at the moment -



I noticed this comment about the new superstar, Arshavin -

He looks a bit like Prince Harry with a fringe.

It's a good job we have the ability to laugh at ourselves. Priceless.

[Simon]

OK after the semi final the number of goals scored so far in the competition is 86 with the average goals per game being 2.87.

Jon 3.01
A Murp 2.89
sujit 2.80

By my calculations the prize will be fought out between the three aforementioned members.

1 or 2 goals in the final and Sujit will the champion.
3, 4 or 5 goals and A Murp will be the champion
6 or more goals and Jon will be the champion

[Simon]

And the winner is Sujit. Congratulations.

Closest to the actual average goals of 2.81 with a prediciton of 2.80.

You're welcome Sujit, have you nay idea what sports shirt you would like? Which sport do you like? Which team?

Regards,
Simon

[Simon]

In the end Sujit did not want a sports shirt and has instead accepted a cash payment of £25 GBP as an alternative.

THE END.

[Sujit]

Dear Simon & forum, Thank You! to IFSQN for giving me cash payment as competition prize. In coming days, I intend to buy a branded white shirt and wear it to my office.

Sincerely,
Sujit Meledath.
