DAKAR, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Sadio Mane has been named in Senegal's squad for the World Cup in Qatar despite injury concerns after he was hurt playing for his German club at the weekend. The 30-year-old striker, whose decisive penalty kicks won both the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualification for his country this year, suffered an injury to his right fibula in Bayern's 6-1 win against Werder Bremen and misses this weekend’s clash against Schalke. But coach Aliou Cisse included the team’s talisman when he named his 26-man squad at a news conference in Dakar on Friday.

CNN —Lionel Messi has already said that the 2022 Qatar World Cup will be his last chance to add a World Cup winner’s medal to his otherwise complete, glittering trophy cabinet. It adds a certain amount of tension to the Argentine’s World Cup build-up, one that became a little tauter on Saturday with Paris-Saint-Germain’s announcement that he would be rested for its trip to Lorient due to an injury scare. “Leo Messi will remain in treatment for an inflamed Achilles tendon as a precautionary measure,” the PSG statement read. Argentina, who has not won the World Cup since 1986, will begin this tournament as one of the favorites, courtesy of its 35-game unbeaten streak but it has been plagued by injury scares. Messi has scored 90 goals for Argentina, a national record.

As Wales' all-time top scorer with 40 goals in 108 caps, Bale's pedigree is not in doubt. It began full of promise with Bale netting twice in his opening four MLS games, but he has not scored since. He has made 12 appearances in the MLS this season, making just two starts. With Bale in the side, Wales are getting used to making major championships, which had previously been tantalisingly out of reach. At 33, his career may be in its twilight, but Bale has warned against reading too much into his MLS displays.

October 18, 2022; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (11) high-fives guard Stephen Curry (30) against the Los Angeles Lakers during the second quarter at Chase Center. Thompson said that having a player open and keeping the ball moving are aspects they picked up from Barcelona. He gave us the perfect example of FC Barcelona, they call it tiki-taka," Thompson told TNT after the Lakers win. Tiki-taka, popularised by Pep Guardiola's Barca team, consists of a series of short accurate passes to keep the ball moving without losing possession. The style of play delivered huge success for Barcelona as Guardiola guided them to 14 titles between 2008 and 2012.

Pentru că a demarat în luna martie, era și firesc ca Săptămâna Limbilor Străine, organizată și desfășurată online sub egida Departamentului Limbi Străine, UTM, să aducă un omagiu Mărțișorului. Aceasta a fost subiectul ce a marcat cu un „fir alb și altul roșu” tematica primei mese rotunde din prima zi a Săptămânii Limbilor Străine la UTM cu genericul „Simbolismul tradițiilor românești”. Studenții Facultății Tehnologia Alimentelor au demonstrat mărțișoare întruchipând un flăcău și o domniță în costume naționale, trasând și o legătură între sărbătoarea Mărțișorului din prezent și ce a simbolizat aceasta în trecut, cum era datina pe vremea dacilor, scrie UTM.md.
