@blocktrades loves to sponsor this type of community engaging projects and @acidyo & @anomadsoul know a lot of Steemians love this game, so we decided to organize this enormous Football World Cup event.

You don´t have to be a professional analyst of the game, your national team doesn´t have to participate, you don´t need to know much about Football to join...

All you need to do is write a post picking every match winner and, the Steemian who makes the most points, wins. ## As simple as that #### Hey @acidyo, I want a piece of those 2,000 SBD, how do I join?

It´s very easy: In the world cup there are two stages, The Group Stage and The Knockout Stage. For the Group Stage of this @blocktrades cup, all you have to do is make a post with your match predictions in each of these matches: #### Russia v Saudi Arabia #### Egypt v Uruguay #### Morocco v Iran #### Portugal v Spain #### France v Australia #### Argentina v Iceland #### Peru v Denmark #### Croatia v Nigeria #### Costa Rica v Serbia #### Germany v Mexico #### Brazil v Switzerland #### Sweden v South Korea #### Belgium v Panama #### Tunisia v England #### Poland v Senegal #### Colombia v Japan #### Russia v Egypt #### Portugal v Morocco #### Uruguay v Saudi Arabia #### Iran v Spain #### France v Peru #### Denmark v Australia #### Argentina v Croatia #### Brazil v Costa Rica #### Nigeria v Iceland #### Serbia v Switzerland #### Belgium v Tunisia #### Germany v Sweden #### South Korea v Mexico #### England v Panama #### Japan v Senegal #### Poland v Colombia #### Uruguay v Russia #### Saudi Arabia v Egypt #### Spain v Morocco #### Iran v Portugal #### Denmark v France #### Australia v Peru #### Nigeria v Argentina #### Iceland v Croatia #### South Korea v Germany #### Mexico v Sweden #### Serbia v Brazil #### Switzerland v Costa Rica #### Japan v Poland #### Senegal v Colombia #### England v Belgium #### Panama v Tunisia All you have to do is make a post where you put W (for win), L (for lose) and T (for tie) in each game. ## If you need to see an example of How to make the post to join the Blocktrades Cup, [click here](https://steemit.com/blocktradesworldcup/@mexico-trail/the-blocktrades-world-cup-or-my-selections)
