But who is the voice behind it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">It&#8217;s none other than Andres Cantor, an Argentine broadcaster who has cultivated a remarkable career over the past 38 years, fueled by his unparalleled passion for the game and his signature goal call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">In anticipation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to take place across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, we spoke with Cantor about the upcoming tournament, his cherished memories of past World Cups, and the evolution of soccer in the U.S. since the 1994 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><i>This interview was conducted for Brevity.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>As we approach the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Buchanan&#8217;s whiskey is engaging fans with their new chant &#8220;\u00a1Nos Vamos al Mundial!&#8221; by offering tickets to the six supporters who can hold a &#8220;gooooool&#8221; scream the longest. What is the record for your own goal call?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Kanter:<\/strong> Honestly, I\u2019m not sure. I think Bob Costas once timed me and it was around 44 seconds, but that\u2019s not especially important. It\u2019s not something I plan; it just happens. Often, my breath shortens, which leads to shorter calls. While I don\u2019t keep track, I remember one of my calls with Buchanan reached 39 seconds. During that, all I did was scream &#8220;Gooooool!&#8221; without any other words, which actually makes it quite challenging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Even after 40 years, your love for delivering sports commentary is clear. What strategies do you use to stay sharp and present during games?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Kanter:<\/strong> That\u2019s a fantastic question. Being physically fit is key, particularly when you need to jump around or transition between matches. I often travel extensively during major tournaments like the World Cup\u2014like in Russia, where I took around 36 or 37 flights in the first 23 days alone. Rest is crucial, as is giving my voice a break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">I work with a vocal coach in the months leading up to the World Cup, who teaches me techniques, although I struggle to implement them fully during broadcasts. The adrenaline of covering a significant match often takes over, especially in high-stakes moments like the recent final. I do remember to warm up my voice, and I try to keep the techniques in mind\u2014but when the action heats up, it\u2019s hard to follow through on all the advice I\u2019ve received.<\/p>\n<div class=\"delta-video-container article-content mg-b-25\" playerscreenurl=\"https:\/\/d3ayhwgrwyc4j8.cloudfront.net\/fmc-n52xvf377qrik5kx_VX-6637219--bkfill\/hls\/v1_0\/index.m3u8\">\n<h3 class=\"video-title\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlights_Argentina_vs_France_2022_FIFA_World_Cup_Final\"><\/span>Highlights: Argentina vs France | 2022 FIFA World Cup Final<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-player-container\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\">\n  <picture class=\"thumbnail\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-618d3d92f00004b--world_cup_final_google_1671393298579.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-618d3d92f00004b--world_cup_final_google_1671393298579.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-618d3d92f00004b--world_cup_final_google_1671393298579.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Argentina vs France Highlights | 2022 FIFA World Cup Final\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"175\" height=\"175\" class=\"thumbnail\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><br \/>\n    <\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>As the next World Cup approaches in 2026, looking back to your role as an analyst during the 1994 World Cup, what stands out to you about U.S. soccer then and what are you looking forward to experiencing next summer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Kanter:<\/strong> I\u2019m more excited about this than ever before. It\u2019s going to be the biggest event ever hosted here with 104 matches and 48 teams. I call it the &#8220;Double XL World Cup.&#8221; I vividly recall the anticipation before the 1994 World Cup, knowing it would be a major success, which it turned out to be. That year marked a turning point for U.S. soccer, leading to the establishment of MLS, which has since grown into a solid league with 30 teams. Soccer is firmly rooted here now, so I believe this World Cup will bring in many fans, particularly from the Latino community, who will throw unforgettable &#8220;wild parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Given the deep passion for sports that exists throughout Latin America, do you think that fervor is reflected in U.S. broadcasts? Have you seen the soccer culture in the U.S. evolve since 1994? What do you envision for American soccer by 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Kanter:<\/strong> Absolutely, everything we do here is distinct from other countries. Every nation has its unique culture, including their football, food, and music. The soccer culture here is unique in that fans at the stadium often experience the joy more intensively. National pride becomes particularly palpable when the U.S. team plays. The Latino community in the U.S. feels this passionately and blends into that fandom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">Even Mauricio Pochettino, the coach of the new U.S. team, is working to instill a more intense, competitive mentality among players. This &#8220;do-or-die&#8221; attitude is essential, as every game counts. It mirrors the Argentine and Latin mentality that often develops from young players gaining international experience, comparable to their European counterparts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">I\u2019m not implying that there&#8217;s less enthusiasm in Europe\u2014each culture has a different flavor. Here in the U.S., particularly among Latinos, there&#8217;s an energetic vibe. We are known for our love for music, food, and especially soccer\u2014everything is infused with enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">This isn\u2019t to say one is superior to the other; it\u2019s simply our unique identity. I hope that coaches are instilling this mindset in their players as we get closer to next year\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Before becoming a professional broadcaster, you were a fan of the sport. Can you share some World Cup memories that stand out to you as both a fan and a broadcaster?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\"><strong>Kanter:<\/strong> Absolutely, and I\u2019ll mention three key memories. Two of them are linked to my broadcasting work, all tied to Argentina. As a fan, I had the fortune to witness my country win three times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">During my teenage years, I was there to cheer on my nation. I vividly recall the joy of being there in 1978 when we won the World Cup\u2014an unforgettable experience filled with happiness shared with family. I can\u2019t quite compare it to the celebrations of our 2022 victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">As for my broadcasting career, my standout memory is the 1986 World Cup. There were two unforgettable moments: one being the ultimate victory in Mexico, and the other being Diego Maradona&#8217;s stunning, iconic goals against England, which also echoed the political backdrop of the Falklands War.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">While Angel Di Maria&#8217;s second goal in Qatar came close to perfection as a team effort, Maradona\u2019s slalom run and goal from 65 yards remains etched in my memory. It was a monumental moment for all Argentinians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"delta-video-container article-content mg-b-25\" playerscreenurl=\"https:\/\/d3ayhwgrwyc4j8.cloudfront.net\/fmc-3nahkhjado8k5q74_VX-6617798--bkfill\/hls\/v1_0\/index.m3u8\">\n<h3 class=\"video-title\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Century_Goal_No_2_Top_Moments_in_World_Cup_History\"><\/span>Century Goal: No. 2 | Top Moments in World Cup History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-player-container\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\">\n  <picture class=\"thumbnail\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-60969461400004b--snap_1668807613846.jpeg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-60969461400004b--snap_1668807613846.jpeg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-60969461400004b--snap_1668807613846.jpeg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Century Goal: No. 2 | Top Moments in World Cup History\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"175\" height=\"175\" class=\"thumbnail\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><br \/>\n    <\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">A memorable bonus track for me was Landon Donovan\u2019s dramatic goal during the South Africa World Cup, which stands out vividly as one of my all-time favorite moments. I even shared this with Carli Lloyd, a great friend of mine. Although she played in the FIFA Women&#8217;s World Cup final, I believe her third goal, a stunning hat-trick strike from midfield against Japan in Vancouver, deserves recognition as one of the finest goals ever in World Cup history.<\/p>\n<div class=\"delta-video-container article-content mg-b-25\" playerscreenurl=\"https:\/\/d3ayhwgrwyc4j8.cloudfront.net\/fmc-sws9uu3pntdvwffe_VX-6565377--bkfill\/hls\/v1_0\/index.m3u8\">\n<h3 class=\"video-title\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carli_Lloyds_Hat_Trick_No_4_Memorable_Moments_from_Womens_World_Cup\"><\/span>Carli Lloyd&#8217;s Hat Trick: No. 4 | Memorable Moments from Women&#8217;s World Cup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-player-container\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\">\n  <picture class=\"thumbnail\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-684f6ad5b000102--snap_1689535803345.jpeg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.fox.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-684f6ad5b000102--snap_1689535803345.jpeg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/static-media.foxsports.com\/ms\/stg1\/sports\/1600\/900\/play-684f6ad5b000102--snap_1689535803345.jpeg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Carli Lloyd's Hat Trick: No. 4 | Memorable Moments from Women's World Cup\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"175\" height=\"175\" class=\"thumbnail\" data-v-63c9d14b=\"\"><br \/>\n    <\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\">Of course, when it comes to Argentina&#8217;s victory, you might think that Montiel&#8217;s decisive penalty kick would be simpler to describe.
