One can only dream of that here -  I’ll have to move to Hungary!

The “less cameras” is key.  I have always felt the rot set in here when both the BBC and ITV felt they had to slavishly follow Sky in tripling the number of cameras they had.  Because they have them, they feel they have to keep using them, and the result is match directors nowadays with the attention span of a gnat, flicking constantly from one picture to another.  It creates the paradox whereby the more cameras there are, the more likely the viewer is to miss something.  The best directed matches are the simplest technology-wise such as the very early FA Cup rounds on the BBC, where we are actually allowed to see everything that happens, as it happens.
