Whilst I do not doubt your analysis, expertise and recognition from started from his dental corrections. No doubt, he was truly one of the greatest football players that has ever kicked a ball. – More amazing than Messi in his prime. However, I must correct you that Maradona was involved in one of the biggest football scandals, which the romantics labelled as 'Hand of God'. Prior to scoring that second goal, where he dribble past almost the entire England team. Amazing. The first goal was scored with his hand ! Maradona was just 5' 4", far too short to jump higher than the oncoming England goal keeper, Peter Shilton at 6'. The referee and linesman must have been 'blinded by his brilliance' in 1986. Nonetheless, Maradona was the poster boy of the tournament and FIFA needed a superstar to win the World Cup. That's sport! Anyhow, it was Steve Hodge (one of the England players) that ultimately had the last laugh. He asked for Maradona's shirt from the match, as its custom and after Maradona died, he auctioned it for $9m. Boom.

Speaking of soccer, Messi is my son’s favorite. He’s pretty obsessed with the sport. I just hope he didn’t get an elbow to the jaw…Ken, do you believe in cleanings? My son does have a cleaning coming up. No fluoride .. Would you allow your kids to get cleanings?

yes cleanings are fine and i send my kid to be cleaned once a year

But ever since we put the composite on him in 2021 his cleanings are almost not needed. He only brushes once a day and does a shitty job yet the dentist for the past couple years thinks he's doing an excellent job

which shows in my view that structure trumps effort by a lot.
