Retrepado contra el banquillo, la mirada se le tornó acuosa a Luis Enrique conel primer penalti fallado por Pablo Sarabia. Los lanzamientos desde los oncemetros, como en la Eurocopa, se han interpuesto en su camino hacia laconquista de un título. Su ciclo de cuatro años, si no renueva, se habrásaldado con unas semifinales de la Eurocopa, un subcampeonato de la Liga deNaciones y esta eliminación en los octavos de final de un Mundial. “No puedodecir nada de mi futuro, porque no lo sé. No es el momento ahora. No tieneimportancia. No ten interests. Mi contrato se acaba, pero estoy muy a gusto enla selección y en la federación. Por lo que significa el presidente [LuisRubiales] y el carino de Molina [director deportivo], si por mi fuera seguiríatoda mi vida. Pero no es el caso. Tengo que pensar con tranquilidad qué es lomejor no solo para Luis Enrique, sino para la selección. Cuando hable con laspersonas interesadas, todo va a influir, claro, todas las situaciones que sehan dado”, explicó Luis Enrique en la sala de prensa. Antes, en los microfonosde TVE, había dicho: “Tengo más salidas que el metro. Quiero llegar a mi casay estar con mis perros. Supongo que a partir de la próxima semana hablaremoscon la federación”.

Focalizado en los lanzamientos de penaltis, Luis Enrique reveló cómo habíaelegido los lanzadores: “He sido yo el que ha escogido a los tres lanzadores.Consideraba que eran los mejores en el campo. Si empezaran otra vez, elegiríalos tres lanzadores primeros. El resto, les he dejado a los jugadores queeligieran con libertad a partir de esos tres. Mira el ojo que tengo. Lo que síharía es quitar a Bono y pondría otro portero”, apuntó el preparador Gijones.

España, como en Rusia, volvió a caer en los octavos de final de un Mundial nosolo con los penaltis como punto en común. La Roja volvió a caer con más de1,000 pases y con la sensación de haber generado muy poco para el 77% deposesión que registró. “Hemos creado las oportunidades suficientes para ganar,hemos hecho 11 remates, aunque sí que puede ser que podíamos haber generadoalgo más. Esto es el deporte. Los jugadores han hecho al cien por cien todaslas indicaciones que les he dado. Las han seguido al 99.9 por ciento, porquequerían marcar gol y yo que buscasen situaciones. Se ha acabado. Hay queanalizar el partido con tranquilidad. No tengo ni un solo reproche para estegrupo de jugadores. Ha sido una concentración maravillosa”, aseguró eltécnico.

Luis Enrique desveló que nunca visita el vestuario de los jugadores al términode los partidos. “Los he animado, les he agradecido sus esfuerzos, sucapacidad para gestionar el partido. Hemos creado la mejor ocasión en elminuto 120 que ha pegado en el palo. Les he dicho que adelante, no pasa nada,la vida continúa, es una experiencia que les quedará para siempre y que en elfuturo ojalá les pueda servir”, desveló.

El entrenador quiso tener una mención especial para Sarabia, al que concediólos minutos finales de la prórroga para que fuera uno de los lanzadores depenaltis. “Sí me queda algún resquemor a nivel personal, que hay jugadores quese han quedado sin jugar el Mundial y, sobre todo, con Pablo Sarabia, con elque he sido muy injusto. Lo he sacado para tirar un penalti y ha generado dosocasiones. Me he equivocado con Sarabia en todo el Mundial”, reconció LuisEnrique.

El desfile de jugadores por la zona mixta parecía cortado por el mismo patrón.Los que no tenian que atender a la prensa caminaban con la cabeza alta y lamirada perdida. “Lo importante es la selection y no yo. Es una noche difícil yque sirva de experiencia para el futuro con un grupo muy bueno y joven”, dijoel capitán, Sergio Busquets. Lo normal es que finiquite su carrerainternacional, algo que tenía pensado si la Eurocopa se hubiera disputado en2020. Como se jugó en 2021 decidió continuar hasta este Mundial. Si seconfirma su adiós ya no quedará ningún representante de los campeones delmundo de 2010.

Tory Lanez has been hit with a third felony charge as he awaits openingstatements in his trial over claims he shot Megan Thee Stallion in her feetmore than two years ago.

Prosecutors added the new charge of discharging a firearm with grossnegligence on Monday, amid ongoing jury selection in the case, _Rollingstone_learned.

Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, previously pleaded not guilty toone felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying aloaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. He also faces a gun allegation thathe personally involved great bodily injury.

The new charge carries a possible six-year prison sentence and still qualifiesas a deportable crime if jurors opt to convict him of negligent discharge asopposed to the more serious assault count. (The Alone at Prom performer is aCanadian citizen.) If convicted on all counts, Peterson still is facing thesame maximum sentence of 22 years and eight months. The new charge doesn’t addto the exposure because it relates to the same alleged conduct, so any relatedsentence would run concurrent.

Peterson, 30, is accused of pointing a semiautomatic 9mm handgun at Megan’sfeet, yelling, “Dance, bitch!” and opening fire in the predawn hours of July12, 2020.

Peterson and Megan had been traveling in a Cadillac Escalade with Megan’s bestfriend, Kelsey Harris, and Peterson’s bodyguard when an argument caused Meganto exit the vehicle on a dark residential street in the Hollywood Hills,according to testimony at Peterson’s preliminary hearing last year.

An LAPD detective testified that he was assigned to the case two days afterthe shooting and interviewed Megan, born Megan Pete, over the phone on July16, 2020, and then again on Nov. 12, 2020. He said the “Savage” singer clearlyidentified Peterson as her assassin.

“As she exited the vehicle, she heard Mr. Peterson yelling obscenities at her,and he stated, ‘Dance, bitch!’ And he then began firing a weapon at her,” Det.Ryan Stogner tested.

Editor’s Picks

“(Megan) observed Mr. Peterson holding a firearm, and then she observed himstart to shoot,” Stogner said. “Megan immediately felt pain to her feet,observed blood, fell to the ground, and then crawled to an adjacent drivewayof a residence…She described her injuries as bleeding profusely.”

He said Megan initially lied and told police, saying that she had stepped onglass because she was in fear of how the officers might respond.

“She said that at the time, she was extremely scared and embarrassed, and dueto the fact that she was friends with the defendant, she was scared that hewas going to get in trouble, and she also expressed some concerns regardingthe political climate regarding police and shootings,” Stogner testified. “Shewas afraid that there had been recent police shootings, and she described herconcern about the police possibly shooting the defendant since he had justcommitted a shooting.”

Stogner said medical records from Cedars-Sinai Hospital confirmed doctorsfound bullet fragments in both of Megan’s feet.

For her part, Harris hasn’t spoken publicly about the shooting, but herfriendship with Megan has become estranged. She appeared under a subpoena fromprosecutors at a prior hearing and is due to testify in the case.

During a motion hearing on Monday, Tory’s new defense lawyer George Mgdesyanargued that prosecutors should be barred from mentioning in their openingstatement that Peterson allegedly apologized to Harris during a jail callafter the shooting. He said unless Harris testifies and lays an adequatefoundation for the call, it should remain off-limits.

Los Angeles County Judge **** David Herriford said that as long as prosecutorshave a good-faith belief Harris will testify, he would allow them to statewhat they believe the evidence will show. He also said another witness mightbe able to lay the necessary foundation. Either way, prosecutors confirmedthey expect Harris will testify.

The rough contents of the jail call were revealed at Peterson’s probable causehearing last December. “The accused to apologize for the incident thatoccurred. He told Kelsey basically that he was drunk, and he was sorry forwhat he had done,” Stogner testified, adding that he personally reviewed thejail call purportedly placed shortly after the shooting.

Under cross-examination last year, Stogner said Megan and Harris had beenclose friends for about seven years but apparently “stopped their friendship”shortly after the incident.

As she grilled Stogner under cross-examination, Peterson’s lawyer at the time,Shawn Holley, claimed the “argument in the car escalated” because Petersonclaimed he and Megan had been in some type of intimate relationship, andHarris became upset because she “had a romantic interest in Tory.”

Holley then suggested maybe Harris fired the weapon, zeroing in on a portionof a statement from a third-party eyewitness who reported seeing some of theincidents from his nearby balcony. The witness purportedly said it appeared tohim that the muzzle flash was closest to the non-victim female at the time ofthe shooting.

On Monday, prosecutors asked Judge Herriford to rule that if Peterson declinesto testify, his lawyers should be barred from pursuing a “third-partyculpability defense” in which they might name a different possible shooter.Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott said the statement from the eyewitnesson the balcony was all over the place and that the witness has firmly statedhe “doesn’t know who the shooter is.”

According to Bott, the man’s first statement claimed that “nine people got outof the car: five men and four women.” (There were only four people in thecar.) The man also allegedly claimed at one point that he was woken up by thegunshots and didn’t see the shooting, Bott told the court. “Every time he gavea statement, the details shifted,” Bott said. “He’s grossly unreliable.”

Judge Herriford said Monday that prosecutors would have to file a writtenmotion on the matter before he would make a ruling.

Opening statements in the trial are set to begin on Dec. 12.

La pena máxima se cobra a once metros de distancia (en alemán, idioma que nodeja lugar a dudas, el castigo recibe el nombre de Eleven meters ). En loscampos pobres, a los que no se llega con cinta métrica y donde la marca de calha sido borrada por el polvo, el árbitro (en caso de que exista) mide esadistancia con doce pasos.

La costumbre dio lugar a un gran texto del escritor chileno Francisco Mouat:El embrujo de los doce pasos. Ahí apunta: “Los partidos que se ganan con ungol de penal no tienen el mismo sabor que aquellos en donde la victoria seobtiene con goles de juego. And este sentido el penal es indecoroso”.

¿Y qué decir de la eliminación a muerte, la ruleta rusa en la que solo existenlos penales?

Mouat recoge oportunas phrases sobre el theme. Aunque Pelé llegó a su golnúmero mil con la pena máxima, pudo decir: “Un penal es una manera cobarde demarcar”. Vicente Verdú liquidó el asunto al definir el tiro sin clemencia comoun “abuso de masacre”. La definition en penales es una invitación alholocausto.

“The laws of Latvia must be respected by everyone.” Of that noticeIvars Albonis,chairman of the Latvian council for mass media NELPL, withdrew thebroadcasting rights of the Russian television channel Dozhd on Tuesday. Thisis because of a series of violations that, according to Latvia, pose a threatto “state security and social order” in the country.

The independent TV channel, also known as TV Rain in English, was blockedshortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine under pressure from Russia’smilitary censorship. Editorial staff fanned out to European cities such asRiga, Amsterdam and Tbilisi. In Latvia, the channel was licensed for cablebroadcasting.

The loss of the license means that the editors of the channel are now indanger of becoming homeless again. Although the online broadcasts via YouTubewill continue to be seen internationally, they may also be blocked in Latvia.The decision was widely criticized on Tuesday by people who believe thatDozhd, as one of the few Russian-language channels providing independent newsto Russian speakers, deserves protection. In a statement, Dozhd called theLatvian decision “unjust and absurd.”

Do I feel sorry for the hungry mobilized people featured in the broadcast?> Is talking about these people a form of help?”>> Alexey Korostelev (27) fired presenter at Dozhd

According to NEPLP chairman Albonis, Dozhd is guilty of several violations, ofwhich the channel “understands the meaning and seriousness”. For example,Dozhd recently showed a map showing the annexed Crimea as a geographical partof Russia. Another objection is according to news site Medusa that Dozhdonly broadcasts in Russian and not in Latvian or English and without Latviansubtitles.

Mobilized soldiers

The immediate reason for revoking the license is a scandal that ignited lastweekend after a live broadcast of the political program Here and now. In it,presenter Aleksej Korostelev (27) read an editorial call to submit testimoniesabout human rights violations of soldiers mobilized by Russia. He added thathe “hopes that we can help soldiers, for example with equipment or basic basicfacilities at the front.” He also called the testimonies of relatives ofmobilized Russians “horrifying.”

His comment particularly shot it [pro-]Ukrainian part of the viewers in thewrong way and provoked strong reactions on social media. “The Russian’opposition’ channel TV Rain prides itself on supplying Russian soldiers […]This is how it wants to please the Russian killers when they slaughter us.”wrote Ukrainian anti-corruption activistOlena Halushka on Twitter.

Since October, Dozjd has also been broadcasting from the INIT building inEast Amsterdam which also includes the editors of de Volkskrant ,Fidelity and The parole and the editors of The-Moscow Times are located.- Dozjd works here with ten to fifteen people on the broadcasts for YouTube.The Russian-language channel has more than three million subscribers, thebroadcasts attract several hundred thousand views.

Host Michael Fishman considers the Latvian decision “enormously unjust”and sees the Kremlin as the only winner. “I don’t know exactly what it meansfor us in Amsterdam. TV Rain does not need a Latvian license for YouTube.”Fishman has no intention of stopping. “I have not yet skipped a single show asa presenter. My next show on Sunday will be broadcast as usual.” Fishman hoststhe broadcast twice a week. Derek Sauer van The Moscow Times writes onTwitter that they will continue to provide the Russians with independent andfact-based news from the joint editorial office in Amsterdam.

Korostelev’s statement was removed from the online broadcast by the editors.Editor-in-chief Tikhon Dzjadko stated from his hometown of Tbilisi that it was”misleading” and “created the idea that Dozhd is helping the Russian army.”The next day, another extensive apology followed, this time by presenterYekaterina Kotrikadze, announcing Korosteljov’s resignation. That decision inturn provoked strong reactions from people who thought the intervention wasdisproportionate.

Korostelev himself wrote in a statement that he had made a mistake, that hiswords were taken out of context, that he does not raise money for the Russianarmy in any way and does not support the war in any way. “Do I feel sorry forthe hungry mobilized who were featured in the broadcast, and who have beenabandoned by everyone? Yes. Do I think Putin is a hero? No. Is talking aboutthese people a form of help?”

Fine of 10,000 euros

However, the dismissal of the presenter was not enough for the Latviangovernment. Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics ordered an investigationby the Latvian security services and media watchdog NEPLP on Friday. LatvianDefense Minister Artis Pabriks said on Twitter that Dozhd should return toRussia and suggested that the journalists’ residence permits be revoked. Onthe same day it was announced that Latvia had imposed a fine of 10,000 euroson Dozhd for showing Crimea as part of Russia. Moscow, meanwhile, echoedtriumphant sounds of pro-Kremlin propagandists gloating over Dozhd’s fate.

The political scandal surrounding Dozhd shows how difficult it is forjournalists expelled from Russia to maneuver within the European medialandscape polarized by the war. Many Ukrainians view the Russian people ascomplicit and believe that as long as the Russians do not revolt, they do notdeserve empathy in any way.

That split was also apparent on Tuesday from the words of journalist and CEONatalia Sindejeva, who founded Dozhd in 2010 as the only independent TVchannel in Russia. In an interview with Meduza, Sindeeva said he regretted allkinds of decisions, including Korostelev’s dismissal, which was said to havebeen “driven by emotions”. “We did a lot of stupid things […] It was like atotal nightmare where everyone would turn their back on us – the Ukrainians,the Latvians. And they have done that.” Reporters Without Borders called theLatvian decision a “serious blow to journalistic freedom, independence and

Bethenny Frankel is busy doing her thing, despite the omnipresent noise in theback.

The Real Housewives of New York alum and businesswoman has two new bigprojects, her ReWives podcast __ and __ CNBCs Money Court in addition toher usual repertoire, ranging from saving the world with disaster reliefinitiative BStrong to being a TikTok beauty influencer at 50-something.

“It’s really annoying people, which means I’m doing something right,” Frankelquips to Yahoo Entertainment of her new iHeart Radio podcast, which sees herrewatching episodes of the Bravo franchise with unexpected celebrity guests,ranging from Jerry Springer to Suze Orman.

Since it launched in early November, Frankel has faced criticism from somewithin the Bravo universe for starting a podcast about the franchise aftercalling her experience on the show, which she left for the second time in2019, “toxic.” On the day we spoke, reformer RHONY co-star Luann de Lessepshad slammed her, again.

“I mean I don’t really spend any time thinking about Luann,” Frankel says inresponse to being asked for her reaction to de Lesseps’s latest. “She spends alot of time thinking about me. So we can thank her for that, because it’scertainly helping [bring in listeners]. I mean, every little bit counts — evenif it’s just a little bit from her audience, it’s helpful. I appreciate allthe promotion. It’s definitely working.”

Frankel launched her new podcast ReWives with iHeart, which looks back atpast Real Housewives shows. iHeart is also home to her Just B podcast.(Photo: iHeart)

Of the criticism in general, which also came from her friend producer/reunionshow host, Andy Cohen, she says, “I’m completely integral to the success ofthe Housewives so I’m absolutely qualified to talk on its history,” havingfirst joined the franchise in 2008. Plus, she says the show has “changed intosomething different” in recent years, so “a lot of what we’re talking about iswhen it really was its absolute best.”

She says ReWives is “different than anything anyone else is doing.” Plus,”I’m not a disgruntled fired housewife, which most people who are doing showshave some sort of skewed perspective. I’m a person that left on my own” afterSeason 11. “So that definitely makes it a different perspective .”

Story continues

Frankel also indulged us by weighing in on Ramona Singer saying she won’t bedoing The Real Housewives of New York City Legacy spinoff. Rumors circulatedthe original housewife was fired, but Bravo has yet to announce the cast.

Asked if it was a loss for the franchise not to have Singer — or whether shebelieves she’s part of that toxic Housewives culture, Frankel replies, “Idon’t think it needs to be that deep. I think that Ramona always brought thedrama but didn’t kill the party. And the thing is — I don’t know who said it,but Ramona represents a certain woman in New York City.That’s true.Meaning: Wecan take all cigarette smoking and drinking out of movies but that’s notnecessarily reflecting reality.So if we’re telling a reality story, Ramona isa woman in New York City , and not every woman is politically correct. And notevery woman looks the same. So I think that sometimes reality television andeven scripted television makes the mistake of trying to manufacture whatculture wants right now, when in reality there are all kinds of people Thatshow, when I was on it, reflected different types of people and theirdifferent opinions and their inappropriate comments and the mistakes that theymade.So if you go too far away from that, then everything’s just a scripted,shiny show where you ‘re checking all the boxes you’ re supposed to check.”

Frankel definitely isn’t trying to check boxes when making career choices. Inaddition to her buzzy new podcast, she’s brings her business acumen to thetable for Money Court , which sees her and Shark Tank Kevin O’Learypresides over high-stakes financial disputes and render legally bindingdecisions to the parties.

“I left there saying to everyone that I work with: This is the best thing I’veever done,” she says of her first TV appearance since her 2021 HBO Max series_The Big Shot with Bethenny_ a competition reality show, that saw her searchfor Skinnygirl’s VP of operations.

“I walked in thinking we were doing a television show, and I walked out havingdone the most intense TV I’ve ever done,” she says, explaining that she andO’Leary, who she met on Shark Tank , were so invested in making the rightdecision. “We were both fried because the stakes were so high. It’s realpeople, real businesses… We took serious time and effort and brainpower andreally dug in.”

She said her fans have enjoyed seeing her in the elevated TV role, saying,”I’ve gotten so many social media messages from people saying, ‘I love theshow. Finally something I don’t feel guilty about watching.’ It’s not junkfood,” as Housewives drama can be.

When she’s not making TV shows and podcasts, Frankel has been sharing her hottakes on beauty products and revealing celebrity plastic surgery secrets,rendering her a whole new following as a TikTok influencer.

“It was accidental, unintentional,” the mom of one says of gaining fans forher blunt makeup and skin care reviews. “It’s hilarious to go into CVS andhave women say, ‘I’m here buying your [recommended] products and you’re doingGod’s work,’ and me laughing because they’re not talking about Bstrong” — hercharity that gives emergency assistance to people in crisis. “They’re talkingabout lip gloss! And younger girls stop me, in front of Starbucks, telling methat they’re big fans, because of my TikTok. They only know me from TikTok;they’ve never even heard of the Housewives. Their moms might watch the_Housewives_ but they don’t.”

And Frankel won’t stop calling out the Kardashians in that space either —whether it’s for Kim’s Met Gala weight loss, Kylie’s cosmetic markups or thePhotoshopping.

“The thing is, they have lost a lot of their shine because people have beenwaterboarded with the message,” she says of the famous family. “When theyfirst came on the scene, one at a time, it was … a different type of bodyimage and celebrating curves and things like that. It was also watching shinyobjects and watching a display of wealth. But it’s gotten vulgar . It’s nothealthy for young women. It’s destructive. It’s desperate. It’s so: Look atme! Look at me!”

Frankel has put them on blast in videos and on her podcast. She’s publiclycalled for an “intermission” from their constant presence in the media, andimplored them to set better examples for young people than boasting aboutunhealthy weight loss and other negative messages.

“There’s definitely been a shift,” she says since her “very controversialvideo at the time. Back then, no one was really saying that. Now you see [thatpeople have] just sort of had it. But they are so powerful and have such shockvalue and fashion power that it’s hard to ignore.”

That said, “Everyone knows it’s not healthy for society. But they are takingevery penny that they can take. If you see money on the floor, you’re gonnapick it up. So they are in a smash and grab, take all the money.One day, themusic may stop [but] they’re billionaires so it’s hard to fight with multiplebillionaires. But I’m giving society credit for trying.”

As for her own career choices, and what people have to say about them, she’sjust going to stick to trusting her gut and tuning out the noise.

“I just do things that I like, so if the tables go cold, I’ll walk out,” shesays. “I’m cool with that. I didn’t plan to be a beauty influencer. I didn’tgo looking for this amazing business show. When great opportunities presentthemselves, I decide to take them or deny them. Everyone’s always trying tofigure out, like, ‘Ooh, what’s she doing next?’ ‘She’s trying to do this.”She’s trying to do that.’ I’m not really trying to do anything, I’m justdoing what I like to do. That’s pretty clear if you really think about it.”

Avatar: The Way of Water, the sequel to the highest grossing movie of alltime, has had its world premiere in London.

Its much-delayed launch comes 13 years after the release of the original sci-fi movie, which was released in 2009.

Director James Cameron was joined on the blue carpet in Leicester Square bystars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Kate Winslet.

The Avatar series is set on the lush planet of Pandora where the existence ofthe Na’vi people is under threat.

Here are some pictures from Tuesday’s world premiere in London, and you canfind more information about the film further down.

Actress Zoe Saldaña, who also starred in the original film, reprises her rolein Avatar: The Way of Water

Actor Sam Worthington, pictured with wife Laura, also returns to the franchisefor the Avatar sequel

Director James Cameron, pictures with his wife Suzy Amis, plans a furtherthree sequels after this one

Actress Sigourney Weaver was also among the stars seen at the film’s worldpremiere in London’s Leicester Square

Other stars seen on the blue carpet included Black Eyed Peas frontmanwill.i.am

The famous faces also included Star Wars actor John Boyega

Model Jourdan Dunn was also seen posing for photographers ahead of the film’spremiere

Here are the answers to some burning questions earthlings may have aboutAvatar: The Way of Water.

What’s the story?

The character Jake Sully (Worthington) seen with one of his children

The first film followed a paralyzed marine Jake Sully (played by Worthington)as he traveled to the planet of Pandora, where he took on an avatar body.

He ended up joining the planet’s indigenous population in fighting an attemptby humans to destroy their home to obtain a precious mineral.

The Way of Water is set many years later. Jake now has a family with Neytiri(Saldaña), and it follows their new life on Pandora.

When was it originally due to be released?

In 2010, a year after the original Avatar, 20th Century Fox (as the companywas then called, before it was sold to Disney) said there would be twosequels, and that the first of those would be released in December 2014.

That target proved to be somewhat ambitious. And for the next few years, aregular story out of Hollywood was that the release date had yet again slippedback.

December 2014 became December 2016. Which became December 2017. Which becameDecember 2018. You get the idea. Anyway, it’s finally out next week, Friday 16December 2022.

Why has it taken so long?

Much of the film takes place in the oceans of planet Pandora

Cameron threw out one version of an Avatar sequel that, after writing it, hedecided didn’t deliver.

The Canadian filmmaker also has a life outside cinema, and has spent some timedoing deep ocean exploration (although maybe that counts as research for thenew film, much of which takes place in and under water).

Story continues

Cameron also wanted to plot out four sequels. And to take full advantage ofnew filming developments in the worlds of motion capture and CGI.

How long is it?

Well, it’s not Cameron’s longest movie. That honor goes to Titanic, whichclocks in at a hefty 3hrs 15mins.

But Avatar: The Way of Water isn’t too far behind. Avatar 2, as it mayotherwise be called, has a running time of approximately 3hrs and 12mins.

Slightly less if you dive out at the start of the lengthy end credits!

Who’s in it?

LR: Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver, James Cameron, Zoe Saldana and SamWorthington at the London premiere

The stars of the original epic, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña have returned.

So does Sigourney Weaver who – (spoiler alert) – died in the original film.

They are joined by young newcomers Jack Champion, James Flatters, and TrinityJo-Li Bliss, alongside Oscar winner Kate Winslet.

How much money did the original make?

It’s made a total of $2.92bn (£2.39bn) at the global box office, and is thebiggest movie of all time (unadjusted for inflation).

It briefly lost its title to Avengers: Endgame in 2019, but regained it afterAvatar was re-released.

The original Avatar movie is the biggest movie of all time

Will I need 3D glasses to see it?

The film is being released in a variety of formats. Including 3D, 2D and Imax.So no one’s forcing you to see it in 3D if you don’t want to.

But perceived wisdom is that a big part of the original’s appeal was itsstunningly immersive 3D sequences.

How many more sequels are planned?

Currently a total of four sequels are planned, including this one.

Avatar 2 is out next week, of course, while Avatar 3 has already been shot,and is due for release in 2024.

Avatar 4 has been partly shot ahead of a planned 2026 release. And Avatar 5has a finished script. If it’s made, and there is a question mark about that,it’ll be out in 2028.

The uncertainty is because of the movies’ cost. The Way of Water had a budgetof more than $350m (£287m) which means it needs to be hugely successful at thebox office to recoup its money.

If it’s a relative failure, it’s hard to see Disney putting up hundreds ofmillions more to finish a series that they think the viewing public may havelost interest in.

Do the sequels have names yet?

In 2018, BBC News revealed that the planned titles were The Way of Water, TheSeed Bearer, The Tulkun Rider and The Quest for Eywa.

The Way of Water was finally confirmed in April of this year. Only JamesCameron knows whether he will stick with the other titles.

What are The Way of Water’s chances at the Oscars?

The original was nominated for nine Oscars including best picture, losing outto The Hurt Locker.

Its wins included best production design and best visual effects. Many expectthat a similar showing is possible at the 2023 Academy Awards.

La Roja deslumbrante ante Costa Rica y que supo competir con Alemania no diopara más ante Marruecos, que la tuvo bloqueada. Mucha pelota para nada. Purarhetoric intrascendente. Un inútil trasteo con la pelota ante un adversarioque logró que los españoles sobaran y sobaran el balón sin una pizca de malauva. El azote de Japón no fue casual. Ante ambas porterías España no pintónada. La selección africana subrayó con creces los motivos por los que solohabía recibido un gol, en propia puerta ante Canadá. Croacia, subcampeona enRusia, y Bélgica, tercera, se frustraron de la misma manera ante la amuralladaselección marroquí.

Marruecos no se corrigió un milímetro de lo que es: un equipo crudo, con laslíneas bien atornilladas, con piernas de mármol en cada disputa. Y, ante lavecina del norte, en el estadio Education City nada evocaba a Doha. Laefervescente y numerosa hinchada marroquí remitía a un estadio en Rabat oCasablanca.

¿Algo más estimulante que alcanzar la mayor cima futbolística de su historiacontra España, en territorio árabe y ante todo el universo? Para el grupoespañol, un rival sacamuelas, con todo el arrojo del mundo y con el ánimo encombustión. España, esta vez una Roja celeste, se vio ante un partido muyintrincado, mucho.

Ni un centímetro concedía Marruecos, abrigada en la peripheria de Bono, conauxilios constants para la intendencia, a la espera de rapiñar la pelota ytocar la corneta a toda mecha. Al equipo de Luis Enrique —el mismo que anteCosta Rica, salvo Llorente por Azpilicueta — le tocaba abrirse paso en unabarricada en la que no había forma de que corriera el aire. Doha era unacaldera marroquí, en el campo y en las tribunas. La pelota cosida por losespañoles, pero sin osadía. Un Mundial, un partido sin retorno, un escenariointimidante. La selección de Regragui, con horizontes hacia Unai Simón almenor error español. No había avisos en las áreas, salvo algún titubeo deBono, con los pies algo anudados, mucho más suelto de manos. Un remate deAsensio al lateral derecho de la red marroquí fue la única huella española enel primer acto. Por una vez, un español tiró un desmarque (Asensio) y por unavez un español tuvo audacia para filtrar un pase (Alba).

De nada les servían a los de Luis Enrique las permutas entre Alba y Pedri, yentre Llorente y Gavi. Tampoco había ruta por el embudo, donde Asensio, conmenos carrocería que los centrals que le tenían bajo arresto, estaba eninferioridad. El partido se dirimía como quería Marruecos, en el cuerpo acuerpo, donde el único marroqui español era Gavi, que arriesgó literalmentela cabeza en un par de jugadas. Un temerario. A Llorente le daba la la lataBoufal, extremo habilidoso y centelleante. Pero la selección de Regraguitampoco dejaba pisadas en el rancho de Unai. Apenas un cabezazo de Aguerd trasotro enredo de Boufal a Llorente.

Nada se alteró en el segundo tramo. España, llevada al limite en cuantopretendía dar un paso al frente. Solo Dani Olmo puso and jaque a Bono, por dosveces. Y tuvo que ser con la pelota tiesa. Una falta lateral a la querespondió con aplomo el portero sevillista. Y otro lanzamiento de falta en eltiempo de alargue. Rodri se agachó para aturdir a Bono, pero el marroquí no sehabía ido de merienda. Entre una falta y otra intervino Luis Enrique, que,entre otros cambios, mandó al banco a Asensio. El balear estaba tan estrujadopor la retaguardia rival como el resto, pero el partido requería una chispa,un solista. Ferran, en cambio, aún tuvo cuerda. Nadie dio con la pócima, nohubo forma de poner a dieta a los alguaciles africanos, que jamás aflojaron lamandíbula. Sí, España dio mucho palique al balón, pero nunca tuvo el partidode su parte. El encuentro era de Saiss y Aguerd, los sólidos power stations deMarruecos. El choque era de Amrabat, un pivote marciano, con cuatro pulmones ytenazas en vez de piernas.
