Best South American Football sites

As it can sometimes be such a pain trying to find out up-to-date information, especially in English, about all the football going on around South America, I figured I would draw up a list of the best blogs, or at least the ones where I find all the information I need.

• Tim Vickery’s Blog at the BBC – it has to start with the Legendinho, the fountain of all South American football knowledge
• New regularly-updated Tim Vickery blog for the 2010 World Cup
• World Cup blog – plenty of up-to-date South America news here
• Pitaco do Gringo’s Brazilian football site – best site for Brazilian transfer gossip
• Football at the Maracana – the holy bible if you are visiting Rio, listing every game that will be played at Maracana stadium
• South American Football – news on all the leagues in the region, with the Argentine news especially good
• Globo Esporte – this isn’t really a blog and it is in Portuguese but once you learn that Classificacao is the league table and jogos are fixtures it’s the best place to get juiced up on Brazilian football stats
• Argentine Soccer – again not strictly a blog but the best place to quickly get Argentine results, fixtures and tables
