I think you get that figure as you include the playoff matches. These are traditionally not added in the UEFA coefficients. Hence Nederland's record is: (19+32) / (8+12) = 2.55.

2005-10-14 - Question about GD

Posted by Nick

Does the average Goal Difference figure only include the matches played at the WC 2006 Qualification tournament or does it include Euro 2004 Qualifiers?

Posted by rdasilva

The goal difference is the average of both qualifying tournaments. I.e. for the Netherlands:

2004: Played: 8, GF: 20, GA: 6, GD: +14
2006: Played: 12, GF: 27, GA: 3, GD: +24
Total: Played: 20, GD: +38, AVG: 38 / 20 = 1.9
