Van der Sar signed by Goldman Sachs!!!

What?? Did Sar suddenly leave Man United to play for Goldman Sachs FC? Who are they??? Well, they are an investment banker. Global company, advise customers on investments, etc etc. An A-brand in the world of money and economics. They actually published a WC2006 book, called The World Cup and Economics 2006. They look at all participating countries, with a economic hat on and with a football cap on :-). The most interesting thing is: the Netherlands section (page 36) is not written by a boring banker or economics journo, but by Dutch captain Edwin van der Sar himself!

Most quotable line: “You guys create ideas, so your customers can make money? How ’bout betting on the Dutch winning the cup!!”
