LOS ANGELES (AP) โ Fox will use British play-by-play commentators for six of its nine announcer teams at this year's World Cup , adding Ian Crocker, Darren Fletcher and Mark Scott to Ian Darke, Derek Rae and Jacqui Oatley. There will be four all-British crews and 10 of 18 booth voices will be British, Fox said Wednesday. The tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19 in the U.
S. , Mexico and Canada, has expanded from 32 nations to 48, increasing the number of games from 64 to 104. John Strong, JP Dellacamera and Tyler Terens are the American play-by-play announcers.
