Summary
The World Cup is rolling into North America this summer, bringing historic moments and emotional calls from legends like Andrés Cantor and John Strong, who are ready to ignite passion for the game across generations. Cantor, returning for his 11th World Cup, will call the opener in LA — a personal milestone near where he lived in ’94 — while Strong, the Fox lead voice, recalls the surreal journey from Sochi to New Jersey’s final stage. For the U.S. Men’s team, Strong admits he’ll likely get choked up before their opener, while Canada’s meteoric rise — from 122nd in the world to featuring stars like Alphonso Davies — tells a story of transformation. With 48 teams and a global audience tuning in, broadcasters face the challenge of balancing die-hard fans with newcomers, making sure every moment feels like a Super Bowl or World Series — but with the soul of soccer.
