Match Preview / Previa del Partido
In the 10th date of the qualifiers for the Russia World Cup in 2018, Paraguay is traveling to Argentina with the mission of regaining the ground lost as the home side against Colombia in the last few minutes of the games. With 12 and 16 points, Argentina and Paraguay stand in the 5th and 6th positions for the Qualys table of the Conmebol; making this a landmark game for both squads.

The game will be on Tuesday October 11, 20:30 UTC−3 Time Zone.
El Juego será transmitido el martes 11 de octubre a las 20:30 Zona Horaria UTC-3.
Argentina
When one hears about Argentina, the first thing that comes to mind is the name Lionel Messi, also referred to as the best player in the world! And, He is not alone, this national team is filled with many key players like Dybala, Di Maria, Higuain, Agüero. and Mascherano. This will be extremely important as Messi will not be able to play due to a recent injury he had with Barca!
At the same time, we must understand that this is a very strong side that is right now in the 5th of the table, an unlikely number for them, and in their last game they were winning until Mascherano made a mistake that lead to a penalty for Peru and that ended in a painful final score of 2-2.
Given these 2 situations, we can say with absolute certainty that Argentina will give their all to redeem themselves with their audience obtaining a victory to reach the top of the table again.
Cuando uno escucha sobre Argentina lo primero que se nos viene a la mente es el nombre Lionel Messi, el mejor jugador del mundo, pero este no se encuentra solo, ya que en este seleccionado nacional se encuentran jugadores muy importantes como Dybala, Higuain, Agüero y Mascherano, y esto será de mucha importancia ya que el no podrá jugar debido a una lesión que presento jugando para el Barca.
Al mismo tiempo debemos de entender que este es un equipo muy fuerte que ocupa el quinto puesto de la clasificación, un número muy inusual para ellos, y además tenían ganado su último partido hasta que Mascherano tuvo una equivocación que llevo a un penalti a favor de Perú que ocasiono un doloroso marcador final de 2-2.
Tomando en cuenta ambas situaciones podemos decir con absoluta certeza que Argentina saldrá al campo a darlo todo para redimirse con su público y ubicarse en los primeros puestos de la tabla.

Mids: Dybala-Agüero-Di Maria (Medios)
Forward: Higuain (Delanteros)
Paraguay
After loosing in the last minute against Colombia, Paraguay stands in the 6th position in the South American Qualys, in front of this hard situation, their DT, Francisco Arce, hopes too change some starters from the previous game and plans to keep the same 4-4-2 formation, just to reinforce certain tactical aspects in defense and the attack that they were missing last game.
Also Paraguay is known as the “Warrior” team. Argentina plays a very physical frame that has led win in 2 American Cups against Chile and Brasil! With this vast experience in important games, they will also find inspiration in the fact that Messi won´t be able to play tomorrow. That will put even more confidence in Paraguay players!
Luego de perder en el último minuto contra Colombia, Paraguay llega a este partido en el 6 puesto de la clasificación, ante esta situación su técnico Francisco Arce apuesta a realizar cambios en algunos nombre de la alineación pero sin modificar su esquema táctico 4-4-2, para reforzar ciertos aspectos tácticos como la defensa y el ataque. Paraguay se ha caracterizado por ser siempre una selección aguerrida que apuesta mucho por un estilo de juego muy físico y que le ha servido en la conquista de 2 Copas América. Aunado a esta experiencia en partidos importantes se encontraran motivados por la falta de la super estrella Lionel Messi, lo cual les dara mas confianza para encarar este difícil partido y sacar un resultado favorable

How to Play
Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).
Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).
After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.
The Stake Pool:
The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.
30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.
70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.
Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.
Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.
Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.
