There must have been a feeling of personal redemption for rugby coaching legend Eddie Jones on Saturday.


Twelve years ago Cheap Jerseys China , in one of the most memorable Rugby World Cup finals of all time, his Australian side lost in extra time at home to England, or, more specifically, to English star Jonny Wilkinson, whose devastatingly accurate kicking was just too good, too often. His players had left everything on the field and had made their country proud Cheap Discount Jerseys , but still came up agonizingly short.


On Saturday, in England of all places, Jones' current charges, Japan, also left everything on the field, making their country proud and winning the hearts of neutrals the world over.


Except, this time Cheap Jerseys , Jones left with a win.


Somehow, in a result that still beggars belief more than 24 hours later, Japan, who had never previously won a World Cup match, beat South Africa, statistically the best team in tournament history, by 34-32.


Score for score Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Free Shipping , Japan's motley crew of local players and naturalized citizens matched the professionals from South Africa. Each time Japan caught up, South Africa would respond almost immediately, and it felt only a matter of time before the favorites would pull away and make the scoreline respectable, even if their performance had been anything but.


Deep into added time, however, Japan rolled over for one more try - and South Africa had no time to answer.


Even though it was surely the greatest upset in Rugby World Cup history, it still may not have much of a lasting effect on this World Cup: South Africa could qualify by winning their remaining matches Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap , while Japan are unlikely to make it out of the group stages.


But the lessons learned can be applied on a wider scale.


Just a handful of people in China would have watched the match, but Chinese soccer players, for example, would do well to view a repeat of the game and emulate the discipline, resolve and team spirit showed by the Japanese.


Sport is entertaining in large part because the result is not predetermined. Underdogs do win from time to time, however unlikely, with sports fans of all colors celebrating their success.


Moaning about China's soccer team has become something of a national pastime in recent years. Fans instead should focus their energies on making their team the next celebrated underdogs.


World Cup qualification is the immediate goal Wholesale Soccer Jerseys From China , but once there, that elusive World Cup victory could yet lie ahead.

At present, what is the level of constraint on intra-bank lending?


AZZAM: The impact of the international crisis on us is clearly going to be noticeable. We are all connected; what happens in Europe and the USA affects the Middle East and the rest of the world. Because of the inter-linkages and the connection between banks, if banks in the major European countries become risk averse, or tight on liquidity, they would not be able to place funds abroad, and would not have the appetite to finance existing maturing debt for countries in the region. So I would expect that countries that need to refinance would find it more difficult because of the international banks lack of willingness and ability to do so. There might be situation where intra-bank lines will be affected if banks in Europe are also experiencing tight liquidity conditions then the surplus funds they would normally deposit through the intra-bank market to other banks will be less. This is a global market Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China , but different counties and different banks will feel it differently. Those who depend more on retail deposits will feel it less. Those who are wholesale banks, whose major deposit base is the intra-bank market, they will feel the heat. For example, GIB and ABC in Bahrain, these are wholesale banks without retail branches in the region – they depend a lot on the intra-bank market and they will feel it more than a bank like NBAD or ADCB or National Bank of Kuwait or NCB, those are banks that are dependent more on branches and retail deposits. So it varies from one bank to another and it varies by countries as well.


How will this region specifically be affected by the international crisis in comparison to the rest of the world?


AZZAM: We have a different set of problems in the region than the problems banks in Europe, the USA or the Far East are facing. In Europe Wholesale Soccer Jerseys , we are seeing huge exposure to markets in Southern Europe and Greece. There are non-performing loans for which they need to take provisions, they need to recapitalize, and there are problems with the Euro. We do not have these problems; we have minimal exposure to Greece and minimal exposure to Southern Europe. We are affected indirectly because the feeling of risk averseness has become wide spread. People are looking at what’s happening in Europe, they see the contraction, they see the high risk there; they will be affected. I cannot think of many businesses that are expanding today or going to the bank to seek additional credit to expand because people are becoming more worried and more risk averse. People do not want to expand right now and they are delaying decisions, not because of inherent conditions, but more because of the contagion with the international situation.


The connection between our region and the international market is always through the oil market. If Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping , for example, the crisis in Europe blows up and we go into another dip or another recession, then clearly this will impact world demand for oil, more so if it affects the emerging countries. So we are affected through the oil price. We are affected through the exchange rates because our currencies are pegged to the dollar, and whatever happens to the dollar vis-?-vis the Euro and other currencies will affect us. We are also affected through the capital inflows, and through flow of people, whether tourists or businessmen. We are a part of the global economy. We have a different set of inherent problems that we need .
