That downtown San Francisco has been struggling since the pandemic is no secret. To borrow a quote from Mark Twain, though, reports of San Francisco’s death may be “greatly exaggerated.” In fact, there are many neighborhoods that are thriving in the City by the Bay. Below are four of my favorites.North Beach: On a recent Saturday afternoon, soccer fans were spilling out of several local bars; sidewalk cafés were doing brisk business and beloved sites like Coit Tower were teaming with tourists. A vintage 1950s fire engine rumbled along the crowded streets, taking passengers on a San Francisco Fire Engine Tour (sanfranciscofireenginetours.com) of the district known as San Francisco’s version of “Little Italy.”Meanwhile, at the popular Italian eatery Convivium Enoteca, San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin was telling journalists how North Beach merchants acted quickly to open parklets during the pandemic, positioning the neighborhood for a quick post-COVID-19 comeb...

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

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:20 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 Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:20 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...
