Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One new account, that I actually think I saw on my credit report, and had on my to-do list, but hadn't gotten around to calling. Eh.

Ick. I was hoping you were done with that, Jesse.
I am not understanding the point system in the Group rounds of the World Cup and I can't find an explanation anywhere.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I continue to be fairly zen about the whole thing, although when I called HSBC back and the guy right away asked for my social security number and mother's maiden name, I was like HELL NO. I did give him the SSN, but still.

You get 3 pts for a win, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss. If there is a tie among teams in a particular group, it goes to goal differential (the total you scored in all three matches minus how many were scored against you), then total goals scored in all three matches.

Thanks, megan. That's what I thought, but then the announcers confused me by saying "That should get them the whole 3 pts" for a second goal, making me think the goal differential came in earlier or something.

Yeah, that threw me too, and then I realized they were just talking about the impossibility of a draw at that point.

That makes sense. If I actually listened to the announcers rather than just catching a sentence out of context every once in a while, I probably would have figured that out.
