Note: Per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-out are counted as draws.

gollark: It's probably a weird horrific mess.
gollark: ```1. I need a banking system!while true do 2. Nobody is giving me full code samples! The documentation is too hard! 3. Krist is too hard to use! I'll make my own, that should be simpler. 4. Nobody is giving me full code samples for this *harder* project! 5. Hmm, they're telling me to use krist, let's try that again.end[between all steps] STOP MOCKING ME!```
gollark: We're at I think stage 2 again.
gollark: "code samples"Wow, my prediction was correct!
