I have never seen such negative comments made by footballers towards their team mates when they have lost in any interviews sooon after the match is over.

It did make me chuckle....
Are you sure about that? I heard one of the ladies archery team on TV taking full personal responsibility for the team's performance against the French team for the Bronze medal - she said words to the effect that they'd all stepped up to the mark and she hadn't.

I did think this was a bit unnecessary however:
