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.
The Copa América kicked off with Argentina defeating Canada 2-0 on Thursday, however a FOX audio delay frustrated fans who tuned into FS1.
For the entire first half of the opening match commentators John Strong and Stu Holden were on a roughly two second delay.
FOX has had audio issues in the past, but thankfully this time at least the audio was behind rather than two seconds ahead. There’s nothing worse than the commentators spoiling what you’re about to see.
Here were some examples of what the audio delay looked like in the highlights during the first half.
The Daniel Sturridge Alexi Lalas clip from FOX’s coverage of England vs. Denmark is absolute gold.
Sturridge is part of FOX’s coverage of Euro 2024, and you actually see the regret in his eyes on TV as he’s forced to sit next to Lalas. If there’s one thing most American fans can agree on it’s that listening to Lalas for too long can drive a person insane.
Edson could be the next ex-Ajax man to reunite with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
Mexico national team captain and West Ham's Edson Álvarez could be making a big move this summer, with reports linking the midfielder to Manchester United.
Edson Álvarez linked to Manchester United for summer transfer
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are seriously considering signing Álvarez in the upcoming transfer window amidst the exit of Casemiro.
Truly Hard Seltzer is the official hard seltzer of U.S. Soccer and recruited two stars for a humorous new ad. The Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie Truly shower commercial is 28 seconds of pure gold.
There’s nothing quite like having a beverage in the shower. If you’ve done it before then you know what I’m talking about and if you haven’t then you’re missing out.
Truly has now become “The Official Shower Beverage of U.S. Soccer.”
The European Championship never fails to bring out the best of soccer fandom. We’ve seen Albanians destroying spaghetti to torment Italians and now we have a viral Netherlands fans dancing in street video ahead of their opener vs. Poland.
When we say “dancing in street” we don’t mean a large group of people doing their own moves. We’re talking about thousands of fans in sync turning the streets of Hamburg into an orange mass moving in unison.
Saturday’s festivities began with a viral video of an Albania fan breaking spaghetti in front of Italy fans. That was a declaration of war.
The video spread like wildfire across the internet as the precious pasta of Italia was destroyed for all to see.

FOX is broadcasting this summer’s European Championship and Copa América, bragging about showing the “Summer of Soccer.” Too bad they didn’t show literally the second game of the Euros.
American fans woke up Saturday morning expecting to tune into Group A’s second match between Switzerland and Hungary. Little did fans realize that the game was streaming exclusively on Fubo.
That’s right. FOX decided there just wasn’t any room on Fox, Fox Sports 1 or Fox Sports 2 to show the SECOND GAME OF THE EUROS.
Denmark's male footballers have decided to refuse a pay raise for playing for the national team in order to ensure their female counterparts get equal basic pay, the global players' union FIFPRO said on Friday.
The national football association (DBU) had been looking to ensure equal pay for both teams but players from both squads were not in favor of taking money from the men's team to pay the women.
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.
