☆ Queiroz's return gives Iran hope of World Cup history
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( Michael Church | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

HONG KONG, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Carlos Queiroz's return as Iran coach threatened to throw the country's preparations for a third straight World Cup appearance into turmoil but instead the re-hiring of the Portuguese has galvanised an ageing squad for one last crack at history. In five previous World Cup campaigns, Iran have never progressed beyond the group phase but after being drawn in a group alongside England, Wales and the United States hopes are growing that their disappointing record might be broken. For their September friendlies against Uruguay and Senegal, Queiroz picked 16 of the 23-man squad he selected for the finals in Russia in 2018, when Iran recorded their best-ever result at a World Cup with four points from three games. The meetings with England and the United States will be politically charged domestically while protests over women's rights in Iran have had a psychological impact on a squad that was fractured by the controversy over Queiroz's re-hiring. Former Brighton & Hove Albion winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh will also be keen to prove English football fans did not see the best of his talents during his three-season stint in the Premier League as Iran look to break new ground at the World Cup.

MADRID, Oct 10 (Reuters) - The head of Spain's supreme court stepped down on Monday, creating a vacuum at the helm of one of the country's key institutions and nudging the two main political parties towards ending a four-year stalemate over judicial appointments. Appointing CGPJ members requires a three-fifths majority in parliament, which has proved impossible without the support of the People's Party. In Spain's increasingly polarised political landscape, there have been few agreements between the two main parties, which have spent the past four years accusing each other of acting in bad faith. "We've moved forward to reach a joint renewal of the CGPJ and Constitutional Court in a new framework with new criteria deepening their independence," Nunez Feijoo said on Twitter.

Before I found out about SudShare, I drove for ride-hailing companies like Uber and cleaned houses with different companies.

On a good day, bags are from $55 to $60, sometimes upward of $120, as it's $1 per pound of clothes. When folding clothes, I don't fold all of them at the same time but rather separate the loads by clients. Usually if I pick up a lot of clothes, I don't deliver them the same day, but I deliver them all by the next morning.
