A few years ago a term became fashionable that referred to girlfriends, women and, ultimately, partners of soccer players. They were called WAGs, referring to being Wifes And Girlfriends, that is, wives and girlfriends. They didn’t have to be specifically for soccer players, but the term became so viral for the partners of these athletes that they almost appropriated it exclusively. Some of the most famous WAGs in the world have been Victoria Beckham, Shakira or Irina Shayk, women who normally already had a lot of fame before starting with their partners. The union between a beautiful young woman, whether she is a model, singer or presenter, and a successful soccer player, has always been one of the most desired in the world of entertainment. Edurne, the wife of David de Gea, or Gergoina, the wife of Cristiano Ronaldo, are already almost as famous as their husbands and are very popular and influential faces in the era of the networks.

But there are also WAGs that go more unnoticed. Women who simply remain “in the shadow” of their partners, because they don’t want to have such a big media impact, or simply, because they don’t attract as much attention. The usual thing is that the WAGs of the top soccer players have more visibility, although there are cases, such as that of Antonella Rancuzzo, Leo Messi’s wife, in which they are pure discretion. It depends a lot on the girl, the type of job or aspirations she has… and of course, what she wants to offer the world. The relationships of soccer players with their wives are always in the spotlight of the press, and that is a pressure that many cannot cope with. In fact, there are couples who have broken up because of rumors about infidelities that these yellow newspapers have no qualms about spreading. True or not, such rumors always crack a relationship and can be a huge hurdle for a couple. Soccer players are young, famous and wealthy guys who tend to lead collected lives, but who also go out to party from time to time. The perfect target for any girl who wants to hunt a good husband or simply hang the medal of having been with a famous athlete. Or with several, like the sensual Roxanne Jeffers.

Sport has always been an ultra-competitive world, in which only a few are capable of rising to glory and reaching the top. Becoming an elite athlete is not exactly easy, and it requires a lot of effort, sacrifice and a good handful of talent without which you probably can’t even try. Luck also has a lot to do with it, as there are huge athletes who have been weighed down by injuries, for example. A world in which, in addition, one retires while still young to make way for the new generations. In football, when you reach 35 you are already in the last phase of your career. The same thing happens in basketball and tennis. In rhythmic gymnastics, for example, 25-year-old girls are often seen as too old for some exercises.

This means that athletes have to think not only about their present as professionals, but also about the future , about what they will do when they retire. Some are capable of earning as much money as professionals who later have their lives resolved and can dedicate themselves to other types of things. Many are also still linked to sport, as coaches , managers or advisers in the federations of their specialty. However, not everyone is so lucky. Some athletes have been mired in shady scandals after finishing their careers. They have fallen from grace , they have squandered their fortune or they have gotten together with the wrong people. The fact is that many end up broke, with problems of debt, alcohol and drugs. A totally different life than the one they had when they were sports stars. But there is an even more sinister facet , that of those athletes who are tempted to enter the world of prostitution. Knowing the desperation that many of these young women have when they finish their studies so soon, there are those who take advantage of that need to convince them. Sometimes it all stays in a simple proposition . At other times, things go much further.

basketball is surely the most popular sport in the United States, perhaps only comparable to baseball and American football, thus making up the triad of great sporting events in the North American country. The professional basketball league, known as the NBA , is surely one of the most important competitions in the world of sports, with repercussions throughout the planet, billions at stake and the emotion of a system that ensures that there are always surprises and teams that go far on their own merits. The draft system, for example, allows the best young talents to be chosen from those teams that have not finished the regular league so well in the previous year, to balance the balance a bit. The same goes for the salary cap, or the possibility of signing players as free agents.

Although we have seen several dynasties in recent decades, with teams that have won many championships in a row , such as the Bulls, the Boston Celtics or the Lakers, the alternation of power is the most common in this competition , where teams that until a few years ago could hardly get any revenue from their games today sneak into almost the last rounds of the playoffs. This is the case of Los Angeles Clippers, a humble team that for many years has been in the shadow of its neighbors, the Lakers, great winners in the last two decades of this competition and that had players like Kobe Bryant or Pau Gasol. Today, however, the tables have turned and it is the Clippers who are now presenting themselves as candidates for the ring , thanks to the latest signings last season, which have managed to reinforce a very limited, even leading him to become one of the referents of his conference, even surpassing his neighbors.

In Argentina , soccer is much more than a sport, it is practically a religion, an unbridled passion that transcends everything imaginable. The best-known Argentine teams, such as Boca Juniors and River Plate , are considered among the best teams in all of America, and on many occasions they have reached the finals of intercontinental tournaments to regularly play them against European teams. . The players of this nation have also managed to stand out greatly, especially in recent decades, with players of the stature of Diego Armando Maradona, Jorge Valdano and Leo Messi, considered among the best in history. It is the glamorous part that everyone sees and knows about Argentine soccer. But there is another vision, much less idyllic but also real, which includes teams not so successful, but equally essential to know the reality of Argentine football.

Beyond the important and “rich” clubs, those that have stood out practically throughout their career, there are a consignment of somewhat less important clubs , but also decisive when it comes to understanding football in that country . One of the classics that has always remained in everyone’s memory is the Club Atlético All Boys , a Buenos Aires neighborhood team that managed, at the time, to stay in several streaks in the national top flight , but then he has been wandering through the lower divisions, waiting for a new opportunity to play again at Olympus. All Boys is one of the most authentic and special clubs that we find in Argentina , and in this article we wanted to know a little more about its history, its idiosyncrasy, its players and everything that has to do with the black and white club.

It is one of the biggest shows in the world, a sport that has become one of the most profitable businesses in the world, with billions moving between the leagues every year, the most cutting-edge teams, paying themselves authentic madness for the most expensive signings, filling stadiums every weekend in every corner of the planet and making the main competitions seen in all countries with a spectacular following . Soccer is the king of sports, and although it is true that in the United States there are other disciplines ahead, such as basketball or American football, in the rest of the planet they are all tremendously football fans and have promoted this practice at the top of today’s sports Olympus. It is a sport that has a millionaire following around the world.

This, however, has been one of the biggest problems when dealing with the current health emergency situation that has occurred due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since February, when the virus already threatened the whole of Europe, many questioned sports competitions, especially as mass agglomerations where millions of people congregated every weekend, a perfect place for expansion natural virus. When the state of alarm was decreed, the competitions ceased, but to the surprise of many, football was one of the first sports to return to activity, when the situation has calmed down a little more, although yes, in a desolate atmosphere of empty stadiums that really amaze fans of the beautiful game.

We do not know whether to consider football as an art or simply a sport tremendously popular, but we are sure that here, as in painting, in cinema or in literature, there are also geniuses who are capable of doing incredible things, thanks to their special abilities and that imagination that is capable of turning anything into a masterpiece. From Pelé to Messi, from Cruyff to Cristiano Ronaldo , there are many stars that the king sport has given over these decades, and fortunately we are able to enjoy an incredible era within the soccer world, thanks to the extreme quality of players like Leo, Cristiano, Neymar or Mbappe, who are authentic class made soccer player.

The eternal debate about who has been the best player in history has taken a turn in recent times. Many point to the 10 of Barcelona as the best soccer player that has ever existed, and others prefer to opt for their most staunch rival today, Cristiano Ronaldo >. There are also those that point to old legends, such as Pelé, Cruyff or Di Stefano . However, there is a name that is always repeated, a name that has already been engraved in gold letters in the history of the sport, and is that of Diego Armando Maradona . In the countryside, a true fantasy. Off the court, a man with lights and shadows, whose private life almost ended up eating the football myth itself. In this article we are going to tell you something more about its history.

Nine years of romance, of conquests in Spain, Europe and the world, of goals to rage and of cups raised that today come to an end. This Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo ceased to be a Real Madrid player and is leaving as the new Juventus official signing. “Real Madrid C.F. announces that, in response to the will and request expressed by the player Cristiano Ronaldo, has agreed to transfer to Juventus F.C.”, said the Spanish team in a statement.
