The Juventus midfielder damaged his meniscus in one of his first training sessions with his new club late last month while they were on tour in Los Angeles. Surgery would rule him out of the Qatar World Cup from Nov. 21-Dec. 18 and Pogba, who has 91 caps for his country, would instead opt for "conservative therapy". Italy’s Tuttosport said the regime would consist of three weeks in the gym and swimming pool then two weeks of individual work. All going well, Pogba would return in time to be able to prepare for the World Cup where France start their campaign against Australia … [Read more...] about Pogba decides against knee surgery to keep World Cup hopes alive

Qatar to kick off World Cup as finals brought forward by one day
- A + A (Aug 12): This year's World Cup in Qatar will start a day earlier than originally scheduled with the opening ceremony now taking place before the host nation kick off the tournament on Sunday, Nov. 20 against Ecuador, world governing body FIFA said on Thursday. The original plan was for the opening ceremony to be held before Qatar's first game on Nov. 21, which would have created the unusual situation of two matches - Senegal v Netherlands and England v Iran - being held before the ceremony. Normally, the ceremony is conducted before the kick-off of the first game of the tournament. Hosts Qatar will now make their World Cup debut against Ecuador at 1900 local time after an opening ceremony at the 60,000-capacity Al Bayt Stadium. The change is in line with the long-standing tradition of opening matches involving hosts or holders. The Group A match between Senegal and Netherlands, originally scheduled to be the tournament opener, has been pushed back by … [Read more...] about Qatar to kick off World Cup as finals brought forward by one day

Italian runner accidentally shows off his crown jewels to the world
A member of Italy’s U20 track team had an awkward run today, and so did the man it was attached to. An Italian runner has accidentally showed off his crown jewels to the world during a 400 metre race at the World Athletics U20 Championships, held in Columbia. As he was dashing to the finish line, his ‘man parts’ fell out of his shorts.

Meet The Women CEOs Of The 2022 Cloud 100 List
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I n a world where women make up roughly half of the global population yet historically are less present in top industries, the women of the Cloud 100 are dominating in a heavily male-dominated space: enterprise technology. This year’s list features eight women-led startups out of 100, up from six last year, that focus on edtech, ecommerce, SaaS, and more. However, that’s still a smaller percentage than the total number of female founders across all unicorns, which Crunchbase data shows is 12%. One 2021 analysis of Pitchbook data pegged the number of enterprise tech companies with at least one female founder at just 2%. For Mathilde Collin, the CEO of Front, one of the newcomers to the 2022 Cloud 100 list that is ranked at 100, the dearth of women in the space is shocking. She told Forbes that when Front announced its recent fundraising of $65 million, her team went on Crunchbase to search for other … [Read more...] about Meet The Women CEOs Of The 2022 Cloud 100 List

Racism is as British as a cup of tea
Kehinde Andrews is an associate professor in sociology at Birmingham City University and the author of the upcoming book "Black Radicalism." The opinions in this article belong to the author. (CNN) Britain is meant to be celebrating 70 years since the arrival of the steamship Windrush, which brought with it 500 people from the Caribbean and marked the start of mass migration to the UK from the British Empire. But the festive mood has been broken by the realization that a number of the Windrush generation -- who migrated as children and have spent decades in Britain -- have been classified as illegal immigrants, and are therefore losing jobs , being detained in immigration centers and even facing deportation to countries of which they have no memory. Public and political pressure has forced Prime Minster Theresa May to apologize . But it was her Conservative Party's policies that created the scandal in the first place. The Windrush … [Read more...] about Racism is as British as a cup of tea
