Scoring seems too high in all over the game, I have to say especially with national team games, U20s included.

[Peter G]

Scoring is always one of the hardest things to get right as it is a tight balance. I would say that if they're able to get it to within 0.50 of the real-life totals then it should be fine.

So, that would mean that it would be a high of 5.82.
