The European championship going on in France has had a lot of surprises. But the most surprising so hfar have been the goals.

Even though it's been a low-scoring tournament, most of the goals, when scored, have come in the second half (bettors take note). And for most of the goals scored in the second half, a majority have been scored after the 80th minute.

Late goals come only when games are tight. Tight games are the direct results of an encounter between two team who won't let up easily. Two really good teams (regardless of the name of their country). Two good teams full of players determined to make their mark.

This leads to a fantasy for the football fans: a certain air of uncertainty. You're not sure who's going to win. So this keeps you at the edge of your seat... till the last minute! And it's games like this that make football a great sport, loved by many.

So far, so good, it's safe to conclude, considering the above explanation, that Euro 2016 has lived up to expectation. Some will even say the tournament has surpassed their expectation.
