Loris Karius is a German footballer born 30 years ago in Biberach an der Riß, In the 2017–18 season of the UEFA Champions League, he managed to reach the final for Liverpool, in a game against Real Madrid, however, he failed to throw the ball after a save, throwing it at the foot of Benzema, who quickly scored the goal and when trying to catch a ball thrown from a long distance by Bale, deflecting it into the goal. This caused his team to lose 3-1, and due to these failures, Karius received several death threats via social media,
Days after the game, medical tests concluded that Karius suffered a cerebral concussion during the match, but before Real Madrid's goals, and that this may have affected his performance in the match. The brain injury would have been caused by a collision with Sergio Ramos in the first minutes of the second half, currently playing for Newcastle (ENG)

@diego why don't you try to be more short and precise with your messages for example from one above - Danny Ward, Welsh/Liverpool goalkeeper, 30 years old today and post a/their wiki link rather than us all having to scroll through what seems like a short story. Same when you want to say post a death (name, age at death and link to confirm) as like @Perhaps and @ulitzer I am starting to find your postings rather tedious. I don't want to put you on ignore as I know you mean well but I may have to reconsider in the future.

@diegoimo, there's nothing wrong with adding information as you do (even iI do it, as do others), but what I would suggest is cutting down on the number of names per post, i.e. only one or two rather than 5 or 6; in the vast majority of cases, those you mention will have another birthday next year!
