It seems obvious that there will be more, and more serious, injuries among high school and college athletes in football or soccer or lacrosse than, say, in running or in tennis. But how much more and at what economic cost? The Yale researchers discovered that these numbers were difficult to obtain, but using the best available data, they calculated that if contact sports could be practiced without contact, such as flag football, for example, there would be 49,600 fewer injuries among men. university athletes per year and 601,900 less among male high school athletes. The savings, which include estimates of medical costs and lost time, could reach $ 1.5 billion a year for colleges and $ 19.2 billion a year for high schools. And that only takes into account the immediate consequences of an injury, according to an article by the researchers, and not the long-term effects of concussions or repeated bursts of the brain in collisions. Or the repercussions of ligament tears, which

Both have their own spheres where they outperform their counterparts.

Neymar has everything He need to be at Real Madrid. But will they accept it? When Neymar joined FC Barcelona in 2013, after completing his transfer from Santos, many thought that the Catalans had found the heir of Argentine star Lionel Messi, and that the nascent Brazilian was there to stay for many years. However, here we are in 2017, and Neymar has changed its strength to the French power of Paris Saint-Germain. Despite a good start to the season in Ligue 1, after scoring 11 goals and eight assists in just 12 games, the Spanish press has increasingly attracted the attention of the winger at Real Madrid after the World Cup. FIFA 2018 hosted in Russia. Here are five reasons why we believe that Neymar with a white sweater is one day far from being an impossible scenario. # 5 Your dissatisfaction with the Barcelona Board of Directors Many Brazilian reports have confirmed that Neymar had been planning to leave Barcelona for more than a

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr should start Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Anthony Nwakaeme in the attack, while the Eagles are today against the Algerian Fennec foxes in the last match of the qualifying match for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Constantine. It starts at 20:30. With Victor Moses, Simon Moses and Odion Ighalo marginalized by their injuries, Rohr, in his last two training sessions, tested Iwobi, Iheanacho and Nwakaeme.

Iheanacho has also done well and it remains to be seen what they can do against an Algerian team that hopes to win and strengthen their confidence.

Argentine legend has reflected on his future now that he has entered his thirties Lionel Messi, legend of Barcelona, ​​has named the team that would be ready to leave soon for the Catalan giants. But unfortunately for the fans of Manchester City, it seems that Argentina has no intention of moving to the Premier League. Messi began his career in 1994, when he was only six years old, playing for Rosario's Newell's Old Boys. It was at the club that was discovered by the Scouts of Barcelona before joining the famous La Masia Academy and changing the landscape of football. Lionel Messi imagines his future far from Barcelona. Messi and his family moved to Spain to help the young prodigy to forge his career in 2001, but the Argentine has always been a fan of Newell's Old Boys. And it seems that at 30 he would like to finish his career in terms of a fairy tale, joining the club he had left so many years ago. The Argentine grew up in Bar

Messi was joined by Xabi Alonso, Kaka and Alessandro Del Piero during the event in Russia Lionel Messi led a team of stars when the official ball of the 2018 World Cup was launched in Russia. The iconic Telstar from 1970 received a 21st century makeover, including an NFC chip. Manchester United and Real Madrid have been very involved in the testing process before the tournament this summer. Adidas legends Zinedine Zidane, Xabi Alonso and Alessandro Del Piero made the trip to Russia for the official launch, with Kaka and Lukas Podolski. And they were joined by superstar Barcelona and Argentina, Messi. Argentina is in action against World Cup hosts on Saturday after a dramatic conclusion from its qualifying campaign. The event in Moscow gathered thousands of fans as they faced the formation of five teams.

Argentina's captain, Lionel Messi, has promised to hike 65 kilometers from his hometown, Rosario, to San Nicolás, in case Albiceleste wins the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He told TyC Sports: "If we win the World Cup, I promise to walk from Rosario to San Nicolás." Messi admitted that Argentina has almost become "crazy" while struggling to get the pass to the finals. Albiceleste earned a spot in the World Cup in the last round of the CONEMBOL beating Ecuador 3-1, while Peru and Colombia drew 1-1. He was a bit too close for comfort, especially when Ecuador was initially 1-0 in this match before a Messi hat trick ruined them. He added: "I thought we would qualify before, I thought we would win against Venezuela and Peru. "We could not stop to qualify for the World Cup Ecuador scored in the end, it was so much for me but also lucky not to be crazy."

When Pep Guardiola decided to leave Barcelona in 2012 and take a gap year in football, a man was supposed to be the reason behind that. The arrival of José Mourinho to Real Madrid interrupted the dominance of Barcelona, ​​but it was not necessarily the results on the pitch that affected Guardiola. The Spanish would have grown tired of the Mourinho games. Four games in two weeks between the two teams culminated in Guardiola giving his frequently cited press conference where he described Mourinho as "the fucking boss" when he faced the media. Guardiola had enough and would spend the next 12 months relaxing. Now that the two men are back in the same league, Guardiola in Manchester City and Mourinho in Manchester United, the story can be repeated. The pressure may have increased and one of the men may give way. But this time it's Mourinho. And this time, it's because of the emotion of City and Guardiola. After a hectic first season at Old Trafford, Mourinho e

According to reports, Barcelona star Lionel Messi believes that Cristiano Ronaldo finished at Real Madrid. Ronaldo had a nightmarish start to the season, scoring only one league goal for Real Madrid so far. There seems to be real concern at the Bernabéu that his talisman is over, with the 32-year-old approaching the last years of his career. And the Spanish site Don Balon says that Lionel Messi believes that Ronaldo will never find the form that has made him such a formidable opponent in recent years. Ronaldo won the FIFA World Player of the Year title last month for his White exploits last season, where he sacked them for Spanish and European glory. But the brutal fact is that he has been unworthy of this award based on this season's performances. He has eight goals in all competitions, but the domestic situation in Madrid has joined his. Barcelona is already eight points behind Real Madrid at the top, with Valencia interspersed. Don Balon says Messi also

This signing would paralyze Barcelona's momentum and at the same time make Manchester United a much better team! What is the story? Oh, Barça ... Oh, Barça ... when are you going to learn? In spite of seeing how ineffective are the publication clauses mentioned in the contracts of their players (think Ronaldo - the original, Luis Figo and, of course, Neymar), especially in comparison with Real Madrid than any average decent player with a release clause of over 100 million pounds, and all this is ready to bite them on the back once more. According to the good people of the Mirror, Jose Mourinho is not happy with the staff he has in his defense, and given the performance of United in Chelsea last weekend, he has good reason to be dissatisfied. While Eric Bailly impressed, Chris Smalling is still so prone to make mistakes, Victor Lindelof seemed hesitant and totally unimpressive, and Phil Jones is still on the brink of an injury crisis ... and the Portuguese has be
