Téléfoot L’After football talk show premieres amid controversy

The new football talk show “Téléfoot L’After” premiered this Sunday on the L’Équipe channel, serving as an extension of the TF1 Sunday program. Presented by Grégoire Margotton alongside Bixente Lizarazu and a rotating cast of journalists, the show aims to complement the original Téléfoot format.

The launch has met with mixed reactions and controversy. On social media, some viewers raised concerns regarding the program's name, suggesting it is too similar to RMC’s “L’After Foot,” leading to accusations of plagiarism.

Audience feedback has been polarized. Critics on social media have targeted the show's format, citing excessive commentary relative to actual footage and issues with studio conduct. Conversely, other viewers have praised the program, describing it as effective and more focused on football than the original broadcast.
