SENEGAL ANNOUNCED THE ROSTER FOR QATAR: Mane is going to the World Cup, but will he play?!
The severity of the injury is still unknown.
The coach of Senegal, Aliu Cisse, suffered a huge misfortune, when the best player of that selection , Sadio Mane , was injured while playing for Bayern. Immediately after that, all over the world’s media, there were rumors that Mane would definitely miss the World Cup, but Cisse still decided to include him in the list.
As the severity of his injury is still unknown, it remains a big question whether Mane will be able to play in Qatar, but certainly. Senegal is obviously waiting for the last moment to see if it can count on one of the best in the world, and from that country, they announced that if necessary, they will use witch doctors for the purpose of Mane’s recovery.

Liverpool during the WC in Dubai
“We have a clear rule when it comes to national team matches. The players must contact me after each match and tell me how they feel and if they are in pain. We will be in Dubai and, if one of the players gets injured and has to leave the national team camp, he can immediately come to us,” said Klopp and continued:
“The players have their WhatsApp groups and they will be on fire depending on which team of our players wins. We have to be in contact with the players and that will not change. We chose Dubai precisely to be close if one of them has to leave the World Cup or it turns out.”
The break in the Premier League will last a month and a half. After the World Cup, the players will have only a few days to return to their clubs, and the championship continues on Boxing Day, i.e. the traditional matches on December 26.
Croatia is waiting for a player who played in two different sports at the world championships
Yahya Jabrane, the 31-year-old last midfielder of Wydad Casablanca, was included in the list of Moroccan national team members for the World Cup. Jabrane has made three appearances for the national team in his career, and he has been playing football professionally since 2013, which means that he started playing more seriously only at the age of 21. In fact, ten years ago, Jabrane became the first player to score a goal for Morocco at the Futsal World Cup.
Ten years ago, he played in the Futsal World Championship
Ten years later, Jabrane will play at the World Cup in Qatar, against Croatia, Belgium and Canada. He scored one goal in three appearances for the Moroccan futsal team, and in his professional football career before coming to Wydad he played for Raja Beni Mellal, MC Oujda, Hassania Agadir and Al-Fujairah. In the current club, he has 15 goals in 92 games.
This is what the craziest group in the history of the World Cup looked like
ARGENTINA and Poland joined France and Australia in the round of 16 of the World Cup on Wednesday. France lost to Tunisia 1:0, but secured passage earlier, while Australia surprised Denmark 1:0 with Leckie’s goal and entered the second round as the runner-up.
Infarct ending
But Argentina and Poland, after a much bigger drama, passed from the group that also included Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Argentina beat Poland 2:0, but despite the defeat, the Poles went to the round of 16 because Mexico beat Saudi Arabia with only 2:1.
Poland lost to Argentina 2:0 in injury time, and Mexico entered the injury time with a 2:0 lead against the Saudis. At that moment, Poland and Mexico were completely tied with four points, a goal difference of 2:2, the same number of goals scored and a tie between them.
The deciding criterion at that moment was fair play, in which Poland was much better with four negative points (four yellow cards) compared to Mexico’s seven negative or seven yellow cards. Mexico was chasing a third goal, but in the fifth of six minutes of stoppage time, they conceded a goal for 2:1. If he had scored the third goal, he would have passed due to the number of goals scored, but that did not happen.
Epic group at WC 1994.
It was a dramatic group unraveling, but nowhere near as dramatic as the unraveling of Group E at the 1994 World Cup, which remained the first and only group in World Cup history in which all teams had the same number of points.
Mexico, Ireland, Italy and Norway played in that group in 1994. All four teams ended with a win, a draw and a loss, but Mexico was first with a goal difference of 3:3, that is, with the most goals scored. Ireland and Italy were second and third with a goal difference of 2:2, but Ireland were ahead of Italy as they beat them 1:0, which was Italy’s only regular time defeat in the tournament.
