It has been masochistically fascinating watching the post-Euro-2012-exit inquisition of the Dutch football team on the BVN TV channel. Besides the fact that the tactical analysis is usually a cut above what one normally experiences on most English-language channels (witness Supersport's puerile, cliche-ridden analyses), I would venture that few nations grill their players and their coach so publically and as robustly as the Dutch do. The victims don't act defensively or hide either; they expect to be interrogated and give as good as they get.

On the greatest football teams
I have had the privilege of watching football since the mid-sixties. Over that time you develop your own opinions of what the greatest football teams were/are and why. My selection (in chronological order) is:
- Brazil 1970
- Holland 1974
- Barcelona 2010-2011.
