Manchester United / Манчестер Юнайтед

The "Red Devils" are finally able to fight for the trophy cup! In the previous stage the team met with FC "Northampton Town", whom currently plays in the third most important division of English football. In that game, Manchester United won 3-1!

---

"Красные дьяволы" начали бороться за данный кубковый трофей совсем недавно. На предыдущем этапе в соперники им достался ФК Нортхэмптон, который в настоящий момент выступает в третьем по значимостии дивизионе английского футбола. В тот раз на выезде "Манчестер Юнайтед" одержал победу безо всяких проблем с результатом 3:1. Причем, если бы не было пенальти, то победа и вовсе могла бы оказаться сухой.

---

---

At the same time, Manchester United has not been living up to their expectations... Despite the loss/gain of coachs and costly transfers, the "Red Devils" are just sitting in the middle of the Premier League Table. There is great confirmation of instability and they have lost their past two games against the Turkish, "Fenerbahce" (1-4) and also too Chelsea (0-4).

---

В то же время команда в последнее время не оправдывает надежды своих болельщиков. Несмотря на смену тренера и дорогостоящие трансферы, пока что 'Красные Дьяволы' болтаются в середине таблицы Премьер Лиги, скромно занимая 7-е место. Подтверждением нестабильности и проблем в клубе служат и такие противоположные результаты как убедительная победа над турецким Фенербахче (4:1) и последующее за этим сильное поражение в матче против Челси (4:0).

---

Manchester City / Манчестер Сити

In the "League of the Citizen Cup" they have one win... Despite serious resistance from the opponent, 'Manchester City' scored 2 goals, and gave up 1 point.

---

В Кубке Лиги 'Горожане' также свою первую игру провели только на предыдущем этапе. В тот раз команда успешно сыграла с другим представителем АПЛ - ФК 'Суонси'. Несмотря на серьезное сопротивление соперника , 'Манчестер Сити' забил 2 мяча, пропустив всего один гол.

---

---

In the tournament table of the Premier League, thus far the "Citizens" are the leaders; despite the fact that when they played in the Champions League they lost to Barcelona and Tottenham on the road, we must keep in mind that these were road games... Throughout history, Manchester City is known to be England's most successful team!

---

В турнирной таблице АПЛ 'горожане' в отличии от 'красных дьяволов' пока лидируют. Несмотря на то, что команда Гвардиолы в ЛЧ понесла тяжелое поражение против 'Барселоны' и проиграла 'Тотенхэму' в АПЛ не стоит забывать что это были гостевые матчи. По своим результатам 'Манчестер Сити' считается самой успешной коммандой Англии.

Conclusion / Заключение

It is a little "off" that the bookmakers are predicting that Manchester United will win despite the fact that Manchester City is in better shape. But, only time will tell!

---

Любопытно то что букмекеры с небольшим перевесом отдают свое предпочтение 'Манчестер Юнайтед' несмотря на то что 'Манчестер Сити' находится в лучшей форме.

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.

• @steemsports in the unlikely event that when the Stake Pool is divided up between the winners and the nomenclature resolution goes below the third decimal place (example: 0.0001), then Steem decimal restrictions won’t allow a payout and the pool will carry over to the next game.

• Please vote responsibly :).
