Beyond The Pitch show

Summary: Joined by one of the great football commentators who has broadcasted the biggest matches on the world stage, Luis Omar Tapia discusses all the major players in South America as steps are made to see who qualifies for Brazil 2014 - from power teams in Argentina and Colombia with their own fantastic leading men, to challenges ahead for Chile and Uruguay who face off on Tuesday, to Venezuela who will stare down the top two on successive nights with Messi and Falcao pulling the strings for their national teams. This now a critical period for CONMEBOL qualification and we break down some of the key talking points as well as take a look at what lies ahead for two Spanish giants in the Champions League where Jose Mourinho might just have destiny and history on his side to deliver a mythical tenth European title to Real Madrid. We also look at the finer points of Barcelona and PSG and why the project in the French capital is so symbolic of why football business has unseated the concept of building teams at the highest levels of Europe. We close on the work Luis has done with his 90 Minutes Foundation where grass roots and inspiration is offering Florida youth players a chance to realize their dreams.
