Only four of Fox Sports' 12 commentators will make the trip to Russia. The rest will stay behind as Fox has opted to spend less money on the production since the U.S. men's national team isn't competing. Fox Sports, which paid an unprecedented $425 million for TV rights for the next two World Cups, also announced a mostly inexperienced American crew calling the games, a stark contrast to the many foreign experienced announcers on past ESPN World Cup broadcasts. The commentators include Aly Wagner, who will be the first woman to call a men's World Cup game on TV.

Fox took some heat for only sending two of its top broadcasting teams to announce the games from Russia, while having other teams broadcast from Los Angeles. But starting with Round 16, Fox Sports said Derek Rae and Aly Wagner are calling the games from Russia instead of L.A.
