Showboating At Its Best - South African Football
South African football has not had the best run of late, since the 2010 world cup we've seen a decline in the national interest for the sport as well as the quality of football by the national team as well as our local league.
There is very little foreign interest in our players and only a handful play their trade in any of the European leagues. Our style of play is very different To the rest of Africa with a huge emphasis on flare, showmanship and of course showboating. Even a simple pass cannot be executed with our some added flavour added to it.
Perhaps it rubs players the wrong way, perhaps its an inefficient way of doing things but it surely provides tons of entertainment value.
We love it but the world doesn't seem to get it. If you've never seen what goes on in a South African football match then below are a few clips I found on Youtube showcasing a few highlights from the South African Soccer league aka the PSL.

Have your say
What do you think of South African football, Is it showboating? Do you think it has a place in the game? Is it just talent and creativity or unsportsmanlike?
