One of the soccer gurus can correct me if necessary, but I think you need to be among the top two in your group's standings, with ties broken by total goal differential over your three games.

So I have to beat trav by at least two more points that whoever this Kelly fucker might beat?

Just throw it, Trav? We don't want outsiders winning this!

Houston to freeze over.

Actually, a win and Kelly not winning;
or Kelly winning by 3 or more points less than you win by;
or both of you lose, and Kelly loses by 3 or more points than you.

(Trav can get it if Kelly loses big and he destroys you.) I didn't include, as if this happens,

I was immensely pleased with myself for the Bob Livingston answer until I looked it up and saw that he withdrew before being confirmed.

I got pretty lucky the first two games and it caught up with me here. Good game L-Jam and thanks again Bensell.
