Can Davos Spring A Surprise And Speed Up The Economy?
The Independent|January 16, 2024

Musiala wonder goal helps Germany thrash Scotland

If the start to 2006 was a famous “summer fairytale” for Germany, this could be the beginning of an even better story. It doesn’t want for youthful joy, either, as witnessed by the standing ovation for Jamal Musiala. For Scotland, there was only grim reality. There were some familiarities to that, too.
