Sup SteemSquad
So the world cup has kicked off and many steemians are getting in on the action with prediction score games, reviews of the games, opinions of who they think will win it and who they are supporting for the tournament and it's really livened up my feed which has been pretty slow as of late.
I've been going through tons of World cup content on the site and I didn't see much love for stand out players for each game and I thought it would be a cool series of posts to run with for the next month.

Spain vs Russia
Russia put in a defensive performance of note to keep Spain out and Igor Akinfeev did his part in securing a memorable victory. The Russian goalkeeper will no doubt be seen as a new national hero. He made nine saves in total, but will go down in his country's folklore for the one that denied Koke and Iago Aspas with his left boot which ensures Russia's wonderful World Cup continues

Croatia vs Denmark
Denmark definitely punched above their weight in the game against Croatia and really gave it their all but it was not to be in the end. Kasper Schmeichel kept them in the game for as long as he could by saving a penalty in extra-time and two in the shootout. He also made several saves during the match and was unfortunate to be on the losing side. He can hold his head up high and had a fantastic tournament .
