"The level of Qatar that we have seen in the World Cup is not the real level. "(Cristiano) Ronaldo had to work, work, work to make it. You need to develop these players, these Qataris in the right way, but we will see what happens after the World Cup," he said. With that in mind, the Qatar Stars League will start again on Thursday, four days after the World Cup final, with Lerin's Al Shamal in action against Al Wakrah on Friday. "I think it will be difficult for them to play in another World Cup, really difficult, but at the same time now the rules of the World Cup are changing and there are more teams," Lerin explained.
PSV Eindhoven forward Gakpo proved the difference once again but he was keen to share the spotlight with his team mates. I think we were better on the ball than in recent games, we had a little more control," he said. In truth, the Dutch never had to get out of second gear against the hosts, who had their moments in a dull first half. We never thought at any time to set a goal of reaching the round of 16 or the quarter-finals. Our goal was to get here, to compete and see what we could do," he told reporters.

DOHA, Qatar— The show is over already for the Qatar team, which was eliminated Friday from the World Cup less than a week after it opened the tournament and launched the first version of soccer’s biggest event in the Middle East. Becoming the quickest host nation team to depart the tournament in the 92-year history of the World Cup, Qatar can’t qualify for the last 16 no matter what happens in its last game against Netherlands. Friday’s performance by Qatar was a little, but not much better for a squad that all plays in the local league and is missing the kind of top talent that is present in almost every World Cup team now. “Efficiency efficiency, efficiency. The ball dribbled away from Khoukhi and Dia lashed it in for his first World Cup goal.

DOHA, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Defender Ismail Jakobs gets his first start of the tournament for Senegal and Meshaal Barsham gets the nod in goal for Qatar as the two sides meet in their second Group A game at the 2022 World Cup. Senegal manager Aliou Cisse swaps Jakobs in for the injured Cheikhou Kouyate and Pape Abou Cisse is replaced by Famara Diedhiou, while Qatar boss Felix Sanchez makes three changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Ecuador. TEAMS:Qatar: Meshaal Barsham, Pedro Miguel, Abdelkarim Hassan, Ismail Mohamad, Hassan Al-Haydos (captain), Akram Afif, Karim Boudiaf, Homam Ahmed, Assim Madibo, Boualem Khoukhi, Almoez Ali. Senegal: Eduoard Mendy, Youssouf Sabaly, Kalidou Koulibaly, Abdou Diallo, Nampalys Mendy, Famara Diedhiou, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Ismail Jakobs, Krepin Diatta, Ismaila Sarr, Boulaye Dia.

With the Dutch to come in their final group game on Tuesday, they needed a win against Senegal but from the first whistle there seemed little in the way of attacking intent. It was an issue in their opening 2-0 loss to Ecuador that Qatar coach Felix Sanchez tried to fix. On the rare occasions Qatar did mount attacks at 2-0 down, they created chances, with Ghana-born forward Mohammed Muntari scoring the country’s first ever World Cup goal that proved a consolation only. But over the 90 minutes they invited Senegal onto them instead of trying to impose themselves on the game. How Qatar approach their final game against Netherlands will be telling – will it be a case of going out in a blaze of glory, or with a whimper?
Summary Hosts Qatar lose 3-1 to Senegal in second group gameMuntari scores Qatar's first-ever World Cup goalQataris could go out of tournament later on FridayDOHA, Nov 25 (Reuters) - The World Cup hopes of Qatar were left hanging by a thread after a 3-1 loss to Senegal that leaves them bottom of Group A and facing elimination just five days after they opened the tournament with a 2-0 loss to Ecuador. With Qatar defending well, it was going to take either a moment of magic or a catastrophic mistake for Senegal to break the deadlock and unfortunately for Qatar defender Boualem Khoukhi it turned out to be the latter. Muntari reduced the deficit in the 78th with a bullet header from Mohamad's cross for Qatar's first ever goal at a World Cup in their debut tournament but Senegal were unruffled as they continued to out-muscle their opponents in midfield. "Expectations were set to give a good performance and organise a good World Cup, and that is the case," he told a news conference, praising his players for their efforts. First, though, they must meet the Netherlands in what will almost surely be their final game at this event.
End of Qatar's football project or just the start?

FOOTBALL PROJECTOn the eve of the crucial Senegal game, Sanchez said the team had prepared psychologically for the possibility of an early exit from the tournament. "We are a small country, the smallest to host the World Cup, and we are aware of the fact that we may be knocked out early, but that doesn't mean the end of the football project," he said. Against Senegal, Sanchez made three changes to the starting lineup, including bringing in goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham. When the Netherlands later drew 1-1 with Ecuador, it was the end of Qatar's hopes in the World Cup. The question remains though as to whether it's the end of the Qatari football project or just the start.
Qatar and Ecuador stick with trusted lineups

AL KHOR, Qatar, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Hosts Qatar's top scorer Almoez Ali and fellow striker Akram Afif lead the line against Ecuador in Sunday's World Cup opener as coach Felix Sanchez stuck with stalwarts from a settled squad that has had longer than most to bond and prepare. Experienced midfielder Hasan Al-Haydos, who can also play on the wing, took the captaincy for the World Cup debutants and 2019 Asian Cup winners at the 60,000-capacity Al Bayt stadium. Ecuador coach Gustavo Alfaro also named a predictable lineup, with Moises Caicedo anchoring the midfield and top scorer Enner Valencia leading the attack as captain. Ecuador: Hernan Galindez; Felix Torres; Piero Hincapie; Pervis Estupinan; Romario Ibarra; Michael Estrada; Enner Valencia; Angelo Preciado; Gonzalo Plata; Jhegson Mendez; Moises Caicedo.

Doha, Qatar CNN —There have been 21 editions of the men’s World Cup since its inauguration in 1930 but Qatar 2022 is set to be a tournament like no other. Since it was announced as the host city almost 12 years ago, it was always destined to be a World Cup of firsts. Seventy percent of the squad that won the trophy came through the academy, and that number has only increased heading into the World Cup. Female officialsQatar 2022 will also see female referees officiate a men’s World Cup match for the first time. Referee Yoshimi Yamashita will make her debut at the men's World Cup.
The more daunting prospects of African champions Senegal and perennial powerhouse the Netherlands await them next. Qatar had longer than most squads to bond during European camps, beat several Central American sides in recent friendlies, and draw self-belief from their 2019 Asian Cup title. "Obviously, I'm not talking about Qatar winning the World Cup, but competing at a good level against those three teams is our challenge," said coach Felix Sanchez. They boast some more recognisable names than the Qataris, including Premier League midfielder Moises Caicedo and veteran striker Enner Valencia. Ecuador, too, will be relieved just to be walking out after they faced possible expulsion over an accusation of fielding an ineligible player.
CNN —‘Tis the season for wall charts and fans gathering around to pick their starting teams for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. “It’s always difficult when a guy helps you get to the World Cup, he scores three goals in World Cup qualifying and isn’t going to be a part of the program. Again, it’s more about who we did add that we felt good about.”All but one of the 26 will be making their World Cup debut at this year’s tournament and, according to the USMNT, it will be the youngest team to qualify for the World Cup.

It's the most important... We're not asking them to (win) the World Cup," he added. Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, brother of Qatar's ruling emir, established Aspire in 2004 to develop homegrown players -- six years before Qatar's national team automatically qualified for the 2022 World Cup when it was named host country. Since June, Sanchez has taken Qatar's players to training camps in Spain and Austria. The mixed performance suggests the Gulf Arab state are no heavyweights - the team might not stand a chance against their other World Cup Group A opponents Senegal and the Netherlands. "We won't be able to tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing until after the World Cup."
Reyes said Hollywood films often reflected the politics of their time — and that had an influence on Latino roles. Studies by the Government Accountability Office, the University of Southern California and other groups consistently show that Latinos are underrepresented in the film industry. Just this year, UCLA’s Hollywood Diversity Report documented “enormous gains” by women and people of color, but Latino representation still lagged. Slowly but surely, we are shaking up the narrative in Hollywood.”Calderón is frustrated by the continuing practice of “brownface,” whereby Latino roles go to white actors. Sanchez cited Eugenio Derbez in “Coda” (2021) as an example of a well-written Latino film character.
A doua zi după o furtună istorică de zăpadă, Spania se pregăteşte pentru un val neobişnuit de frig, care va afecta în special Madridul, unde autorităţile au continuat duminică cursa contra cronometru pentru deszăpezire, informează AFP.Furtuna botezată ''Filomena'', care a adus ploi abundente în numeroase alte regiuni, a dus la decesul a trei persoane pe teritoriul ţării, scrie agerpres.ro Începând de luni dimineaţă, temperaturi de până la minim minus opt grade Celsius sunt aşteptate pe o mare parte din teritoriul ţării până joi, potrivit Agenţiei meteorologice spaniole (AEMET). ''Pericolul este încă prezent'', existând riscul ca ''zăpada acumulată să se transforme în gheaţă'' din cauza ''unor temperaturi minime nemaiîntâlnite'', a avertizat ministrul de Interne, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, solicitând populaţiei să evite la maximum deplasările.Înainte ca îngheţul să complice lucrurile, o cursă contra cronometru a fost demarată duminică pentru deszăpezirea drumurilor.Plugurile de zăpadă şi maşinile care împrăştie sare vor acţiona în continuare pe străzile din Madrid unde deplasările se vor realiza cu dificultate ''până la sfârşitul săptămânii'', a avertizat primarul Jose Luis Almeida.Armata a fost mobilizată pentru deszăpezire pistelor aeroportului din capitală, care a început să se redeschidă treptat duminică după-amiază.Militarii, dar şi voluntari, au degajat căile de acces către spitalele din capitală, aflate în continuare sub presiune din cauza pandemiei de COVID-19. ''Suntem foarte conştienţi de importanţa menţinerii accesului (personalului medical). Ne-au ajutat foarte mult în timpul perioadei de izolare la domiciliu'', a explicat pentru AFPTV Felix Sanchez, un madrilen de 52 de ani, care a venit să cureţe intrarea către spitalul Gregorio Maranon.Numeroşi alţi madrileni au ieşit cu lopeţile pentru a deszăpezi intrările în imobilele în care locuiesc, în timp ce alţii au practicat, aşa cum s-a întâmplat sâmbătă, schiul în parcuri şi pe străzile oraşului.Lungi cozi de aşteptare s-au format în faţa puţinelor supermarketuri deschise şi a brutăriilor.La periferia Madridului, circa 90 de persoane au rămas blocate începând de vineri într-un centru comercial din Majadahonda, accesul fiind blocat din cauza zăpezii, potrivit serviciilor de urgenţă regionale. Acestea îşi făceau aprovizionarea de la magazinele din acest centru.În urma ninsorilor record în aproape 50 de ani, mai mulţi zeci de centimetri de zăpadă s-au aşternut vineri şi sâmbătă asupra Madridului şi a unei părţi importante din Spania, unde numeroase şcoli şi servicii publice vor rămâne închise la începutul săptămânii.Potrivit guvernului, traficul era în continuare perturbat pe aproape 700 de drumuri duminică, dar trenurile care vin sau pleacă în direcţia Madrid vor începe să circule progresiv, cu excepţia legăturilor cu regiunile din nord-est, printre care şi Barcelona.În ciuda situaţiei dificile, guvernul a dorit să ofere asigurări în ceea ce priveşte campania de vaccinare anti-COVID-19, afirmând că 350.000 de noi doze vor fi livrate luni dimineaţă, aşa cum era prevăzut.Furtuna ''Filomena'' s-a deplasat duminică spre nord-estul ţării, afectat de căderi de zăpadă mai puţin importante în comparaţie cu regiunile centrale în ziua anterioară.
