I'll plump for 2.37.

I think the average will be lower than usual as there will be no England quarter final shoot-out

I will take 2.22 please.

Love soccer, due to time difference here in Atlanta at best I will be able to see the highlights at Euro 2008. But first there's the big one at Wembley tonight. I will watch that one live on ESPN Classic. U.S.A. U.S.A

For the competition I'll take 2.33

Great response so far folks. I will create a spreadsheet of all averages posted and update it at the end of each day.

Any more takers?

Hi everyone!
My guess is 2,75 (don't ask how I came up with this number)
Good luck to GREECE!
