This is indeed a very fun event that is a big contributor to the social well being of people in this world.
I as well missed to engage my self in some world cup contest such as the one organised by @acidyo and @nomadsoul through @blocktrades. That was specifically for the group stage matches but there will be another contest at the knockout stage.
Russia indeed has along way to go. Its just the beginning.
Thanks for that information. Than I will definitely join ^^
