Tension between England and Germany has once again reared its head. This time, Deutsche Asset Management and Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, rivals in the field of fund management, were put head to head in the final football match to be played in Wembley Stadium last Thursday.

Unbeknown to England supporters who wept when the home team lost 1-0 to Germany on Saturday October 7, this game was officially the last football match to be played at the historic venue that is soon to be torn down.
