) Hello Steemit friends. today a few days of the great celebration of world football; since the 2018 World Cup Russia starts on Thursday June 14 with the opening of the tournament and the match between the host country and Saudi Arabia for Group A, I join this celebration with a small writing in tribute to one of the sports that most I admire and the world events that I love the most,.
)
The 32 national teams divided into 08 groups, which as of this week began to unite with their game across the globe, had a long and difficult road to travel to ensure a position in this magna appointment; they were 03 years of classifying games throughout the planet football, where in each continent the member countries of the FIFA (for its acronym in English) fought against many adversities, such as: injuries of their players (what more fear originated ) motivated mainly by the great overload of games they have in a year, either with their teams or with their teams in the different leagues that participate, also played an important role in many countries where they played; The geographical, atmospheric and climatic conditions are very difficult and even extenuating for the human being.

I say that this world is atypical; since you select powers and world-class players, always protagonists like Italy and Holland did not manage to qualify as neither Chile nor the United States did, leaving out great star players that would be called to dazzle with these selections.

But if for the fans and inhabitants of these countries the sadness is very big contrary is the feeling for the fans of the Peruvian team, who return to a World Cup after 36 years of absence, their last Cup was in Spain 1982. Among the participant teams that have waited the longest to be in a world cup are the Egypt teams, who had six World Cups without going, since Italy 1990, and the other is Morocco, who missed four World Cups , from France 1998.
And the happiness must still be greater for the inhabitants of Panama and Iceland who debuted in this type of competition.
) Why do I say that this will be a great World Cup? It will be a great world; since each of the 32 teams arrive with the same dream, which is nothing more than participating in the final game scheduled for July 15 and to raise the cup, for this they have prepared and trained very hard, but let's be clear that despite their dreams many teams will remain in the group stage but there is no doubt that they will give everything for everything to leave the name of their country on high. It will be a great cup since there are well-structured teams full of great players, many of them stars of their clubs and their selection; big names (I do not want to mention any player so as not to hurt fanatical feelings) that monopolize the attention of millions of fans in the world, which for a month will make us forget all the problems that bring us in our daily life.

Well friends the hardest part is to predict an event but for this World Cup I will dare to give as my main favorite to the powerful German team, since it has practically maintained the same base of players that I raise the cup in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, this team has been able to mix some young talents that have been emerging with great stars already tanned in this type of competition, added to their style of play they make it look like one of the main teams to win

But as I said that predicting is not easy, I think there are several teams that are called to be protagonists and their names along with Germany will be among the 08 teams that played the quarterfinals to look for the semifinals and from there will be the 02 that will play the great finale. Among these selections we must include the always favorite Brazil (she has a very important loss due to injury). only selection that has managed to participate in the 21 editions that have been carried out of this contest, Spain with its good game and a great combination of experience and youth, France presents a good roster with well-priced players in the best leagues in Europe, the renewed
England with its fast and frontal game, Argentina that will look for its revenge, we must also include the claw of Uruguay and finally closing my forecast for the quarterfinals I mention Portugal with very good players.
It only remains for me to say goodbye and wait with emotion in the comfort of my home or somewhere with my friends the initial whistle of each of the games of this great event to paraphrase a great Latin American football storyteller when he says "The ninety minutes begin of the most beautiful sport in the world !!

I hope it is to your liking and if you liked it, give it a resteem so that it reaches more people
