?I wanted to express my passion for American cinema with this film,? said Sergio Leone, creator of the spaghetti western, who roams the gangster scene here. Pomp, pathos, gun smoke. America between 1922 and 1968. The story of a big country through the eyes of a small gangster. 46 years in life, almost four hours on screen. Conclusion: Despite Robert De Niro, James Woods, Joe Pesci and Tuesday Weld, it is not a person but time that becomes the protagonist of a murderous melodrama. Sergio Leone’s trip to America is no ordinary crime classic, but a tangled film that is nervous despite its elegance, full of wild plot jumps, wide flashbacks, intermediate cuts and nuances.
Soccer World Cup
Pioneer Stéphanie Frappart can look forward to another premiere.
The first female referee at a men’s World Cup will join Manuela Nicolosi and Élodie Coppola to form the first all-female refereeing duo in France’s Ligue 1 for next Sunday’s match between ES Troyes AC and AS Monaco.
Only the fourth referee, who is more concerned with administrative tasks, will be male. This was announced by the French football association FFF.
Frappart had already directed her first game in France’s top division as the main referee in April 2019, but at the time she was assisted on the lines by male colleagues. At the World Cup in Qatar, the French refereed the group game between Germany and Costa Rica and received good reviews after the historic premiere.
The three referees Frappart, Nicolosi and Coppola have also been nominated by the world association FIFA for the women’s World Cup next summer in Australia and New Zealand. (dpa)

South American politicians continue to rely on unbridled growth through the export of raw materials, a policy that dates back more than 400 years to the colonial era. In Peru, the consequences of this greed for raw materials are fatal for the people living near the mines. The town of Cerro de Pasco is considered one of the dirtiest cities in the world, the inhabitants are contaminated by sulfur dioxide, lead and arsenic.
Referee Makkelie misses World Cup final: FIFA chooses Marciniak | soccer world cup
Danny Makkelie will no longer play at the World Cup. The Dutch referee could formally hope to lead Sunday’s final. But FIFA chose Polish referee Szymon Marciniak on Thursday.
The world football federation will not rely on Makkelie for Saturday’s consolation final either. Qatari Abdulrahman Al Jassim is in charge of Croatia-Morocco in his home country. FIFA often opt for a non-obvious referee in consolation finals.
Makkelie’s chances of calling into the World Cup final were noticeably diminished after the quarter-final between the Netherlands and Argentina got out of hand. Since Argentina made it to the World Cup final, it seemed inconceivable that a Dutch referee would award the final battle.
The 39-year-old Makkelie made his World Cup debut as a referee in Qatar. He made two appearances in the group stage. He whistled the cracker between Spain and Germany (1-1) and the duel between Poland and Argentina (0-2). In the knockout stage, the Dutch referee was not awarded any matches.
The 41-year-old Marciniak is the first Pole to referee a World Cup final. At the start of this World Cup, he has already refereed Argentina-Australia (2-1) and France-Denmark (2-1). He will be assisted on Sunday by his he permanent assistants Pawel Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz.
Messi replaces Batistuta with 11th goal as Argentina’s all-time top scorer at World Cup | soccer world cup
Lionel Messi is Argentina’s all-time top scorer at the World Cup. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner led his country to the World Cup in Qatar on Tuesday in their semi-final against Croatia.
Messi converted a first-half penalty to score his 11th world championship goal. He shared the Argentine record up to that point with Gabriel Batistuta.
Former top scorer Batistuta only needed twelve World Cup matches for his ten goals. The 35-year-old Messi has been against Croatia for the 25th time at the kick-off of a World Cup match.
Messi can call himself the tournament’s top scorer in his fifth World Cup – he was also there in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018. Like Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, he scored five goals.
With a win over Croatia, Messi will have the chance to run out Batistuta and Mbappé during Sunday’s final. Mbappé could also reach the final; France will face Morocco in the other semi-final on Wednesday.
If Argentina make it to the final, Messi can normally also call himself the player with the most World Cup appearances. He now shares that record (25 duels) with German Lothar Matthäus.
