question about corners and goals

[chriscol]

Intertops got a prop on total corners. any stats? what's the avarage for tournaments?

Also they set up different ranges for total goals. i'm looking at these in combination with the 77.5 goals which are set up by pinn.
Any opinions.
actually i like the under anyway. there will be no blow out like in WC as teams are all relatively solid (no china, timbuktu, tonga or india showing up) + a lot of teams (especially the top ones) have their strength (or their only chance to advance) on defense: France (yes, they are stronger on D than on O), England, Germany, Sweden, Czech, Italy, Spain.

chris -

This is completely off the top of my head, no research to back this up: While I agree that the scores will be fairly close, the corners may not be. For example, if you think back to Germany v Saudi Arabia in the WC, Germany must have had close to 20 corners - I remember one corner after another coming in, and Klose getting to almost all of them. The same could happen against Latvia (if Klose decides to come and play for a change, but Kuranyi isn't bad in the air), especially if they lose or draw the match against Holland, because they will have to attack and score as many goals as possible in case of a goal differential tie-break.

In other words - nothing there that makes me feel confident one way or another.
