Apparently, when you play against Argentina and you touch them just a little bit, your action does not count.
Is it just me, or so all the refs have an ex military look?
That is fucking ridiculous. The Spanish guy gets flattened, no yellow card. The Argentinian takes a dive and a yellow card.
The menopause transition is a cardiometabolic inflection. We have tools to improve the health of women, but they are often not fully used. A new study wants to find out how much we can improve women’s cardiometabolic health if we employ all those tools correctly. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...
