Deutschland ber alles

The German national football team may not have covered itself in glory during Euro 2000, but it still hasn't been a bad few weeks when put alongside the country's winning bid for the 2006 World Cup.

But that achievement pales along- side that of a team from insurers Munich Re, which swept through a football tournament for insurers organised by City law firm Paisner & Co without conceding a goal.

Above Paisner's Richard Leedham presents the trophy to the winning team, which had beaten Paisner in the group stages.

We will be generous and put it down to Paisners' lawyers not wanting to beat their clients.
