He serves as one of the network’s leading soccer commentators for Telemundo’s broadcast of the Premier League, US Soccer, all FIFA events, and CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers. He has played a major role in the network’s Olympic Games coverage and made history as lead commentator and anchor for Telemundo’s exclusive Spanish-language coverage of FIFA, particularly after his iconic goal call of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 final.
