The previous announcement post already paid out and it can´t be resteemed anymore. Since we want EVERYONE on Steemit to join this contest and one of the rules for joining the @blocktrades Cup is resteeming the announcement post, we decided to make a new announcement.

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN THIS CONTEST, YOU DON´T HAVE TO RESTEEM THE PREVIOUS POST, YOU CAN RESTEEM THIS ONE.

@blocktrades loves to sponsor this type of community engaging projects and @anomadsoul & @acidyo 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
