More fanciful statistics for your delectation. Again, make up your own minds on the worth of these. I'll throw them over to you and you can do what you want with them. My advice would be to treat this information with a large dose of caution, but if you do take anything from them, then read the data in conjunction with that given in the previous post.
Below is a table showing the average goal scoring times during the last four European Championships, separated out into the Group Stages (sub-divided here to 1st eight games, 2nd batch of eight games and 3rd batch of eight games), then quarters, semis and the final. The data again becomes extremely thin indeed as less teams become involved at each stage.
If the data has any worth, then a paucity of goals in the first half of the first eight matches seems to be a pattern. And a return to a cautious approach seems to be the order of the day after having escaped from the group stages, as the quarter finals tend to have late goals.
