The @blocktrades World Cup | My selections for the Last 16
Is this the best world cup yet in recent tines? I'll say yes to that.
This world cup has produced;
Plenty goals
Great goals
Late goals
Own goals :p
Broken records
Two GOATs
Plenty Upsets
VARs
And a whole lot more.
The group stage alone saw unthinkable things happen, albeit to add more spice to the excitement;
Current World Champions Germany finishing last in their group
No African team qualifying from that stage in over 30 years
Senegal sadly leaving the competition on the basis of fair play
Only one goaless game (France vs Denmark)
And Harry Kane scoring the most absurd hatrick you'll ever see! 😂
To mention but a few...
And it seems the show has only just begun
The Steemit community is also not left out as, thanks to the @blockchain world cup contest, you too stand a chance to win 1,800 SBD.
