A Tale Of Two Halves

Dez Corkhill | Kam Raslan | Ross Yusoff

A Tale Of Two Halves

This week on A Bit Of Culture we host two sports pundits and talk everything football! Kam Raslan is joined by BFM's Ross Yusoff, together with Dez Corkhill to each discuss the cultural aspect to the world's biggest sport. Kam starts us off by discussing team allegiances - how do we pick them and why. Ross then jumps in with his take on the FIFA World Cup, and why it is still the biggest sporting spectacle to happen every four years. Finally, Dez takes us through some songs and chants that have come through the stadium terraces and trace some of their fascinating origins and relevance today.
