<p>The World Cup commentator schedule on FOX and FS1 brings an air of excitement in the tournament nearer. This year, FOX brings an array of talent and experience to Qatar, with a number of exciting games on the docket.</p>



<p>The familiar pairing of John Strong and Stu Holden are in store for many games at the World Cup. The pair called the World Cup Final, among other games, at the 2018 World Cup. Now, <a href="https:\/\/foxsports.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FOX</a> gets its first World Cup that features the United States Men’s National Team. Surely, that is a boost to the network’s coverage of the tournament. </p>



<p>The rest of the <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/news/fox-world-cup-commentators-for-qatar-2022-20221017-WST-404697.html">FOX Sports World Cup crew</a> features the impressive resumes of Ian Darke and Derek Rae. Rae worked for FOX at Russia 2018, having worked World Cups for decades, including 2010 and 2014 with ESPN. Ian Darke also featured on the ESPN crews in 2010 and 2014. Now, he makes a first appearance with FOX. </p>



<p>The rest of the commentary crew features former USMNT international Cobi Jones and USWNT star Aly Wagner. Plus, making his World Cup commentary debut, <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/tv/landon-donovan-on-ian-darkes-call-of-his-2010-world-cup-goal-20221116-WST-408549.html">Landon Donovan works alongside the aforementioned Ian Darke</a>.</p>



<p>The World Cup commentator schedule shapes up nicely.</p>

FOX's World Cup commentator schedule runs throughout the tournament and feature s a mix of fresh talent and familiar faces.

World Cup 2022 commentator schedule on FOX and FS1


<p>Sometimes in life, serendipity happens when you least expect it. Before the FIFA 2010 World Cup, Landon Donovan was recognized as the best soccer player the US had ever generated. Likewise, Ian Darke already had a very successful career as a commentator. He was one of the most recognizable voices of Premier League coverage, especially in the early days of Sky Sports.</p>



<p>And then one moment happened that lives in the infamy of soccer fans in the United States. A goal was scored.</p>



<p>Of course, it wasn’t just any goal. It was a late winner for the United States against Algeria in the final game of Group C. If Donovan hadn’t scored it, the United States was going home, but that single goal in the 91st minute catapulted the US into first place, and through to the next round.</p>



<p>Not only was the goal one of the most important the United States has scored in its World Cup history, but the commentary of it was out of this world. Commentating for ESPN at the time, the energy, passion and pure relief in the voice of <a href="https:\/\/www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCvTUQ8PK30" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ian Darke</a> crystalized the moment. “GO GO USA.” Even now, it sends shivers down my shine.</p>

<h2>Landon Donovan and Ian Darke meet again</h2>



<p>Serendipitously, Landon Donovan and Ian Darke meet again. The two legends of soccer are paired to <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/news/fox-world-cup-commentators-for-qatar-2022-20221017-WST-404697.html">announce games for FOX Sports</a> throughout <a href="https:\/\/www.worldsoccertalk.com/category/world-cup-2022">World Cup 2022</a>.</p>



<p>This week, <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/fox-sports-landon-donovan-on-world-cup-co-commentating-20221114-WST-408270.html">World Soccer Talk spoke with Landon Donovan</a> to delve deeper into his memories of that goal call, and his unique relationship with the man who called the goal for viewers in the United States:</p>



<p>“I saw [Ian Darke] a few months back when we were doing practice matches,” Donovan said. “I was excited to see him because of that [goal call].</p>



<p>“Having someone that iconic call a goal that meant so much to me is really special. It actually makes the goal even better than if it was somebody who was brand new and had never [been] heard of. So, I’m really proud that he was able to experience that too.”</p>



<p>To develop their chemistry and to get some reps in, Donovan met Darke in Los Angeles where they practiced working together. One of the games they called was the England-Germany UEFA Nations League game from September 2022.</p>



<p>“Being with Ian Darke is such as blessing because he’s so good,” added Donovan. “It’s exciting to work with him. I’ve been a big fan forever of his work.”</p>
