4-time World Cup champion Germany has forgotten how to win games a year before hosting Euro 2024

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 04:56:19 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Perhaps the only positive Germany can draw from its national soccer team’s deepening crisis is that the 2024 European Championship is still a year away.Even if few believe it anymore, Germany coach Hansi Flick insists that is enough time to turn things around before hosting the tournament.Flick struggled to justify his conviction late Tuesday after the latest disappointing performance — a 2-0 loss to Colombia that saw his team whistled off at halftime and again at the end.“With the results, what can I say?” Flick said. “The arguments are not on our side.”Some fans even held up signs saying “Flick out,” showing who they believe deserves blame for Germany’s ever-lengthening slump.Flick had said before kickoff that it was imperative to get a win against Colombia after the 1-0 loss in Poland and 3-3 draw with Ukraine the previous week.“We need successful results to take the next steps, otherwise it will be difficult,” Flick said.It’s proving difficult.

ANÁLISIS | La contraofensiva ucraniana ha sido brutal y lenta. Pero a Kyiv le quedan muchas cartas por jugar

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 04:56:19 GMT

(CNN) — Las imágenes son granuladas e inquietantes. Un soldado ucraniano del 73º Centro Naval de Operaciones Especiales se abre paso a través de una trinchera, aparentemente en el frente sur, disparando repetidamente a quemarropa a soldados rusos. El polvo levantado aumenta la sensación de caos, y el denso pánico y la brutalidad del comienzo de esta contraofensiva.Nunca iba a ser sencillo, y siempre iba a implicar el tipo de espantoso combate cara a cara que se muestra en el video de las fuerzas especiales. Pero el éxito de la ofensiva ucraniana sigue dependiendo de si puede sorprender y burlar a las fuerzas de Moscú, no en un combate cuerpo a cuerpo, sino a un nivel estratégico más amplio. Y probablemente sea por eso por lo que estamos asistiendo a un comienzo lento —y a veces gradual— de esta primera fase de operaciones abiertas.Durante meses hemos asistido a un paciente intento de Ucrania de erosionar la preparación de las defensas rusas. El lento goteo de explosiones en de...

EU countries agree on sanctions package to target Russia’s helpers

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 04:56:19 GMT

EU ambassadors Wednesday agreed on an 11th sanctions package against Russia, the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the EU said, making it possible for the first time to punish third countries that help Moscow evade trade restrictions. After adopting 10 sanctions packages following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of last year, the EU has now designed a new mechanism: If third countries, for example in Central Asia, fail to comply with Western sanctions or can’t explain a sudden rise in trade in banned goods, they could face EU punishment.EU countries have been wrangling over the package since mid-May and the row had threatened to overshadow a leaders’ summit next week. Several countries, including heavy-hitter Germany, had fretted that such a mechanism would hurt diplomatic relations, and even drive countries into the arms of Russia and China.In various versions of the text seen by POLITICO, the European Commission had included m...
