This weekend's slate of games just misses out on perhaps the most-anticipated match of the season, Arsenal hosting Manchester City. That is a midweek game on Wednesday, Feb. 15.

And we're still waiting to find out who their blockbuster lead commentator is in English. The league has it with the previously-announced co-commentator Taylor Twellman, but the […]

How do they do it? When confronted with a dramatic situation for our favorite club or a stressful moment in an engaging match, we usually regress to unintelligible sounds or a series of annoying semi-connected syllables. Broadcasters, conversely, not only need to keep their cool and convey the moment, but transmit the gravity of what is going […]

Is there a title race that actually includes both Manchester clubs? Based on form, maybe and maybe not. Yes, Manchester United is humming and City is still there towards the top.

Out of the five lead commentators FOX Sports selected to announce World Cup games in Qatar, only two of them are American soccer commentators born in the US. FOX's selection of John Strong and JP Dellacamera make sense. The duo are logical hires for FOX Sports given their name recognition among viewers. However, why didn't […]

This year, FOX brings an array of talent and experience to Qatar, with a number of exciting games on the docket. The familiar pairing of John Strong and Stu Holden are in store for many games at […]
