You have been in this for quite a few years and a lot of things know what they are about. There have already been behaviors that were not ideal in them and this creates and opens a lot of questions to the veracity “.

For his part, Matías Tomatis, leader of the “national flower” said that “We had breakfast with on Wednesday the leaders of Banda Norte asked for the game to be postponed due to the fact that they were intoxicated, they had gastroenteritis.
