Hola y bienvenidos amigos futboleros,

The South American Football Show brings you expert analysis of the Beautiful Game, from Cape Horn all the way up to the Panama Canal. The weekly show is hosted by football writers Alejandro Pérez and Tim Sturtridge. They speak to players, coaches, presidents, fans, journos and you the listener to get the definitive word on what is kicking off on the continent.

Alejandro has lived in Buenos Aires for a year now, sucked in by the passion for football that exudes from every corner of the city. He has a masters degree in journalism from Universidad de San Andrés and after not missing a kick of South Africa’s feast of football as part of the team at Argentinian television station Todo Noticias (TN) he is ready to hit the airwaves. Twenty plus years of suffering at the hands of his beloved Millonarios of Bogotá have only served to strengthen his love of the game. Who better to cover football in South American, warts and all?

Tim is back in Buenos Aires after covering the recent World Cup in South Africa for The Sun and The Independent plus contributing to the BBC World Service. Tim pitched up in Argentina two years ago and wasted no time in picking out Huracán as the club to share his existing allegiance to Exeter City. A journalism graduate from UCLAN, he now covers politics and sport in South America for The Independent as well as writing the English language website of Conmebol.com among other projects.

Without you the audience the show is nothing more than these two lads talking football over a couple of fernets and coke. Please get in touch through facebook, email, blogger, twitter and skype to help us out with the topics you want to hear discussed.

Un abrazo del Show de Fútbol Suramericano
