A game for honor!

Passionate about football and tennis, I have been playing ping-pong for three years. More recently, I discovered padel and what a thrill! Basketball, rugby, golf and rally: more new sports that I follow regularly. Otherwise on the cultural side, since I love giving my opinion, I write reviews of films and video games.
