  • Football gods (United States, United Kingdom) or Footy gods (Australia) is a common refrain used by sport broadcasters and commentators to refer to moments of great luck or misfortune experienced footballers, teams and their fans. It is used across different codes of football. In Australia a segment of the NRL Footy Show had a feature focusing on the notion of the Footy gods pondering "why a League ball bounces this way instead of that...why so called big money players are actually hopeless...or why the ref thought why this was a forward pass!...its enough to make any fan scream to the gods, the footy gods!"
