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.
