National Sovereignty Day in Argentina

National Sovereignty Day is celebrated in Argentina every year on the fourth Monday in November. This is a national holiday, that is celebrated since 2010.

The first mentions about National Sovereignty Day date back to 1954, when José María Rosa proposed to establish this holiday. He chose an important historical event, that deserved commemoration. It was the Battle of Vuelta de Obligado, fought on November 20, 1845. During the battle a small Argentine army led by Juan Manuel de Rosas stood against an Anglo-French navy, that broke into the Paraná River. The battle ended with Argentinian defeat, but France and Britain also suffered great losses, that eventually led to the bargaining trade and signing of a peace treaty.

Rosa's proposal about the establishment of a commemorative day for Juan Manuel de Rosas was approved only in 1973. In 2010 President of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner made her own proposal to increase the number of holidays in Argentina. National Sovereignty Day was turned to national holiday, and its first official celebration took place in 2010.

Stoke's Mark Hughes backs Jose Mourinho to keep his job at Chelsea

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has backed Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho to hang on to his job and guide the London club through their current problems.

The sense of crisis surrounding the Blues deepened with Saturday's 2-1 Premier League loss at West Ham, which saw Mourinho sent to the stands and left the defending champions 15th in the table.

Talk has been rife of the Portuguese being not far from the sack ahead of Tuesday's trip to Stoke in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup -- another trophy Chelsea won under Mourinho last season.

Maria Sharapova, Simona Halep win openers at WTA Finals

SINGAPORE (AP) — Maria Sharapova won her first complete match since Wimbledon in a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory against Agnieszka Radwanska at the WTA Finals on Sunday.

Sharapova was sidelined after the Wimbledon semifinals until the Wuhan tournament in China four weeks ago with a prolonged foot injury.

She retired in the third set of her first match at Wuhan with a left wrist injury.

"I haven't completed a match since July, so I think it's always challenging to come back from not one injury, but a few," Sharapova said. "I was just really thrilled that despite not playing these last few months and not playing my best tennis, I was able to take myself to another level physically, which I didn't exactly expect that I would be able to."

Third-seeded Sharapova, looking rusty from the lack of match play, needed 2 hours, 47 minutes to finally nail down the win against fifth-seeded Radwanska.

The Russian's serve was erratic and while she posted eight aces, she also double-faulted 12 times.

Sharapova served for the match at 5-2 but dropped her serve. At 5-4, she double-faulted on her first match point, but won the match two points later when Radwanska netted a forehand.
