McCann Erickson Guangming Greater China CEO Joop Broeren endured

intense sleep deprivation to cheer on his home land, Holland, in the

recent Euro 2000 semifinal against Italy - this despite the fact that he

had just had an exhausting day celebrating the launch of Universal

McCann in Shanghai ... and Vine, more than a little worse for wear

having joined in those celebrations (and slightly distracted by those

cute little shorts the Italian team was wearing), made the mistake of

asking Joop who he'd be cheering for, and was roundly chastised.



But we had the last laugh, when Holland lost the match in penalty goals

to Italy.
