The 'Dying days' of July 2024, as depicted on the 'Calendar page', are significant due to the anniversary of Philipp Lahm's shocking retirement announcement from the German Football National Team, which happened five days after they won the World Championship in 2014. The city of Buenos Aires experienced a tragic event on its 'Calendar page' in 1994, with an attack on a Jewish center that resulted in 85 deaths and over 300 injuries. In football history, Germany's 'Football-Nationalteam' celebrated a significant victory, but their captain, Philipp Lahm, chose his 'Dying days' in the team just five days later. The city of Berlin, another significant location in German history, is home to notable events, but the 'Calendar page' for a specific day is not provided in the text.
