.. france like Bain. Germany a powerful Accenture, and Deloitte a mighty Argentina. The creative BCG is Brazil.That means that England... is PA. A bit confused, very uncoordinated - and never getting to the final.

Who would Mott Macdonald be? How about Capgemini?

Thought Accenture would be more akin to Millwall, full of boot boy bully scumbags who'll steam roll over people to get their way

Mott Macdonald would be the USA. Good at what they do and are normally associated with - i.e. a totally different sport - but not really contenders."You say football and I say footballYou say consulting and I say consultingLet's call the whole thing off".

McKinsey like Italy??? Defensively minded, underrated, workhorses who make the most of the talent at their disposal to deliver world class results??? Suggest the Azzuri are more like PA.McKinsey are more like England. Think they have a devine right to win every tournament, have a wealth of individual talent / worth, ignore all the sniping and carry on banking the ££ regardless of what everyone else is doing.Atos like Senegal, claiming that France (KPMG) are poaching all of their players.Capgemini must be like Republic of Ireland. The players love it when they are there but, lets face it, most of them are only there because they cant get into the English team.all good fun i'm sure but lets get back to the serious posts!

BAS is like Germany - look promising at the outset but fell apart once they meet any real opposition perhaps because they offer such low payments to players

Didn't think we really knew what BAS paid?? I guess it's another dodgy refereeing decision there Timothy

Their silence speaks volumes though - I see from the grad salaries thread that their HR department may shortly be shamed into telling us what their salaries are.Even at the upper end figures in the thread of £30k, they're almost at the bottom of the pile (just above IBM at £28,500 plus bens)
