The FIFA World Cup this year has the best host possible in Russia. You can't believe how easy the on-boarding was and how great the tourism privileges are to ticket holders! I've managed to get tickets to one match. I can't wait until my return to Russia later in the month (I was just there in March). Geopolitics seems like it won't in the end mar the games.
@blocktrades is hosting a World Cup predictions contest with a 2000 SBD prize. Submissions accepted until June 14. This is my entry. How about yours?

It would be cool if Iceland could win a few games in the pools, b/c the football club is so new.
