The Real Network The Phootball Show

The Phootball Show

The philosophy of football. Hosted by Eleph Gula-Ndebele, Theo Moyo, Durag Jesus and João Matthews. The show that's rebellious, anti-establishment, unapologetic, uncivilised, and unashamedly partisan - the way sports reporting should be. A football show from the perspective of the guy who matters the most - the fan. Bold and primitive, it still delivers high-quality, insightful analysis; hard-hitting commentary and in-depth reviews of matches, events and scores of the week gone by. None of the presenters are experts - they're just fans who've been brought together by a tribal desire for sports banter and a shared passion for football.
