After two days of action-packed drama, the Crypto 2018 World Cup has officially concluded day 3. Lots went on today, but everyone seems to be talking about Vitalik Buterin (Argentina) and Iceland (Nick Szabo.)
If you missed it, don’t forget to meet the players for all the upcoming matches for the Crypto World Cup!
Crypto World Cup Day 3
Match 1: Argentina (Vitalik Buterin) vs. Iceland (Nick Szabo):
The stakes were high today, but the score (sadly) came to 1-1. Eyes were on Vitalik Buterin at the Crypto World Cup, with it being Argentina’s opening match at the tournament. Meanwhile, the cheers of Nick Szabo supporters filled the stadium. This was Iceland’s first ever World Cup game. And they came, they saw, but no — they were not conquered.
In the 64th minute, Lionel Messi was awarded a penalty, but he failed to convert it. Iceland, and therefore Nick Szabo, are getting major credit for this. Messi is under fire, as it was his first penalty in a World Cup (aside from shootouts). Should he have made it? Should Vitalik Buterin have taken the W? Let me know what you think!
