Watch: ESPN announcer NAILS call of Vermont’s golden goal to win NCAA Championship

The Vermont Catamounts men’s soccer team pulled off an unthinkable run in the NCAA College Cup and defeated Marshall 2-1 in extra time on Monday in the championship game.

Vermont’s triumph marked the first time in history the university has won a national championship in any sport outside of skiing. The Catamounts’ run to the final saw them pull off remarkable upsets against the likes of No. 7 ranked Hofstra, No. 2 Pitt, No. 3 Denver and finally No. 13 Marshall in the final (who beat No. 1 Ohio State in the semifinal).

Watch: College announcer climaxes as Stanford score game-winning midfield buzzer-beater

A play-by-play announcer had an all-time reaction on Wednesday when Stanford’s men’s soccer team defeated Notre Dame 3-2 with a goal from midfield and one second left on the clock.

The time in college soccer isn’t like the pros as the clock counts down and the game ends when time expires. This means that buzzer-beaters are possible on the pitch.

Watch: Dani Olmo’s goal-saving clearance left FOX’s Darke and Donovan speechless

A crucial Dani Olmo clearance vs England helped lead Spain to a record fourth Euros title on Saturday with the Spaniards winning 2-1.

Spain had a corner to defend in the 90th minute after taking the lead three minutes prior courtesy of Mikel Oyarzabal.

As the corner was swung into the Spanish box, FOX’s commentators Ian Darke and Landon Donovan could hardly get words out as chaos ensued. 

Carli Lloyd says Christian Pulisic is a contender to take Messi’s world soccer crown

Carli Lloyd just put Maradona, Messi and Pulisic in the same sentence.

U.S. women’s national team legend Lloyd is one of many former soccer stars invited to be a part of FOX Sports' live studio broadcasts in their coverage for the Euro and Copa America this summer. USMNT icons Alexi Lalas, Clint Dempsey, and Maurice Edu are also part of the panel.

Fans give mixed feelings about Landon Donovan’s commentary following Euro opener

Germany torched poor Scotland 5-1 in the Euro 2024 opener on Friday with a dominant performance. The visitors failed to record more than one shot against the hosts in the one-sided contest.

With the game being so lopsided American fans turned their attention toward other aspects like the commentary provided by FOX Sports from Ian Darke and Landon Donovan.

‘You want to come coach this team?’ Timbers announcer apologizes for hot mic moment

The Portland Timbers secured a 4-2 victory Wednesday night but not before trailing 2-0 at halftime and having a hot mic fail with the broadcast.

The Timbers have been uncharacteristically poor this season. Heading into the game vs. San Jose Earthquakes they were without a win in their previous nine games. Yes, it had been two months since Portland secured three points from a game.

The best XI? Alexi Lalas reveals his starting lineup for the USMNT in Copa América

Alexi Lalas just revealed what he thinks should be the starting lineup for the USMNT in the 2024 Copa América. He might’ve been spot on.

The U.S. men’s national team are only five weeks away from making their debut in this summer’s hosting of the Copa America and will most certainly try to shake off the squad’s doubters with their best performance in the tournament yet. Gregg Berhalter wants the gold.

Watch: Commentator doesn’t realize his mic has autotune enabled and gives epic goal call

The wonders of autotune have forever changed the music landscape, now it’s made its way to the broadcasting scene. 

In a hilarious video a commentator in Argentina didn’t realize autotune was turned on while calling an Argentina Reserve League game.

Excursionistas opened the scoring with a great cross and finish, but this goal will always be remembered for the autoned commentary.

Jamie Carragher crosses line when suggesting Kate Abdo hasn’t been loyal to her boyfriend

The CBS Sports Champions League crew are always teasing one another and providing hilarious moments on camera, but a Jamie Carragher Kate Abdo joke went too far during Tuesday’s coverage.

Carragher, Abdo, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards provided their coverage and analysis from Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

The crew were doing a bit during the show where each of them had to wear an Arsenal jersey during the broadcast. Former Manchester City player Richards was the first to wear it before it was passed on to Liverpool great Carragher.
