Hello everyone!     So here we go again, this week there were some interesting discussions.
Then  I'll start with football, because of the proximity of the Worldcup;  we were saying that nowadays with so many players making use of anabolic steroids and many other artifices to enhance their performance , it's hard to find one of these guys   in perfect conditions to have a long career. The opposite , on the other hand is more common, like injured knees,  and more recently the famous Beckham who had his  Achilles's tendon torn . So, what's becoming frequent is to see these players retiring at a very young age , having gone through at least one surgery, but of course with their deep pockets !
