Decline and Fall

There are 2 sporting events taking place which showcase how teams deal with their decline. In Euro we have probably one of the best French and Portugese teams in their last major tournament and in the NBA we have the Lakers in the finals. Of the lot only the French seem to have the self belief necessary to coax themselves into giving bravo performances. The Portugese still seem to be assailed by self doubts and the Lakers continue to be the Lakers. Perhaps we do need a huge hyper inflated sense of importance the way the French have about their nation to be successful. Perhaps we do try to play up to our own perceived self images.
