After a tense match ended in a 1-1 draw, the penalty shoot-out saw Man United come out on top 6 to 5 - the third time it has won the prestigious trophy, and 50 years after the team was decimated in a plane crash in Munich.
The team’s success also provided some welcome news for a change for embattled AIG. Man United’s players have sported the AIG logo on their shirts since the start of the 2007 season. AIG concluded a $100 million deal for the rights in 2006.
Now if the world’s largest insurer (by capitalization) can just solve its subprime loan crisis, avoid further million dollar fines and find a way to deal with the looming presence of ex-CEO Hank Greenberg, it might get back on track.
I’m amazed that there’s actually been coverage of Man United’s victory in the U.S., enough so that the game was spoiled for me. Usually, it’s possible to TiVo a game and wait a day or two to watch it, without having any problems avoiding the outcome. However, when I popped open the WSJ website upon getting home, waiting for my recording of the game to transfer to my iPod, there was the results.
Feel sorry for the Chelsea fan in my office who will be wearing a red shirt to work today.
