Next rival HOLLAND - hope it will be another Lehman B.:-)))
Heres the RIDDLE again:
What does the Dutch football (soccer) squad + LehmanBros collapse have in common?
CLUES: focus on the TIMING of Lehman's end, not on Lehman itself or any other bank. and relate that to the Dutch soccer team. Nothing to do with the coach, players or past players.

answer on you riddle -Lehman B. and Holland soccer team-
Fuld had an offer from the Korean Development bank, but it failed to recognize the urgency, he was too greedy. He was hoping that B of A or even Barcley's would come with better price, and on the end he was hopping that government would bail them out (just like they did Bear Stearn) He thought he has time to deal, but he did not have that luxury, on the bitter end, on weekend of Sept. 15, H. Paulson told his "lieutenants" that Fuld wasted so many opportunities. ( Fuld was not allowed on meeting at treasury)
Bert van Marwijk thinks that he has time, so he does not need Robben from the beginning of the game or even worse, he does not recognize the danger, but when "moment of need" comes, it just might be too late. (nobody can score at a comment, they need some "time")
Bert still has time, and someone should really tell him the story of Lehman, and how they were wasting precious resource "time" -"Robben"
:)

Futurama, I used that line on twitter. Brilliant stuff. Ashraf
pheeeewwwwwuuueeeeeee that was one exciting game. Congratulations ..... that was well deserved
It was clear from the beginning that Slovakia has the eagerness to win the game. Italian players were passive throughout most of the game, It looked like somebody gave them some super powerful red bull on the last 15min. Commentators on ESPN were so excited with the twists on the match that one said for Italy " it was little too much , too late"
I have to say that in the last few minutes of the game I was not sure about Slovakia win. I had flashbacks from US-Algeria match.
EVERYBODY should take a lesson from that match. " it ain't over 'till it's over"
we have 4 exciting games coming. I will be playing close attention to Spanish team.

Japan has just scored 2 spectacular goals on free kicks. 2-0.
