Andrés Cantor (born December 22, 1962) is an Argentine-American sportscaster and pundit who works in the United States providing Spanish-language commentary and analysis in sports.
[7] Due to translation and cultural dissonance issues, it was largely absent from the lexicon of British play-by-play commentators prior to Cantor joining Univision in 1987.
Cantor was the first to introduce this climactic scoring call to a U.S. audience while working at Univision, making him popular with English-speaking viewers.
[8] He says that Diego Maradona's goal at the 1986 World Cup, in which he ran from midfield past five English defenders to score, brought tears to his eyes (Cantor was working at the game).
He delivers the line, "El árbitro dice que no hay tiempo para más" ("The referee says there is no time for more").
[10] Cantor anchored Telemundo's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London from the network's studios in Hialeah, Florida.
FDP also broadcasts the Mexico national team, CONCACAF Gold Cup, Copa América (CONMEBOL) among other sports properties.
Andrés Cantor hosts a daily show, Futbol de Primera, which airs nationally on more than 100 affiliates.
[17] In 2010, Cantor was featured in the Mike McGlone series of GEICO commercials where he is introduced as an announcer who could make any sport exciting.
In 2011, he is uncredited for the role of the Spanish football announcer in an episode of the Disney Channel series Phineas and Ferb.
