After nearly 40 years calling soccer matches in the U.S., it would be easy to assume that Andres Cantor had run out of bucket list items. His voice has been the soundtrack of some of the game’s most memorable moments, including the celebrated World Cup victories of Argentina and the U.S. women’s national team in recent years.

However, there’s a new milestone that Cantor has long wished to achieve: calling a game with his son, Nico. The dynamic duo will broadcast the Concacaf Nations League semifinal between Canada and Mexico on Thursday (10:30 p.m. ET, Paramount+), marking a historic first for a father-son broadcasting team in major U.S. English-language sports.

Nico, a current broadcaster for CBS Sports Golazo Network, recalls their previous collaboration during a friendly match broadcast when he was still in high school.

“It’s one of my bucket list things to broadcast a game in English and hopefully it will not be the last,” Andres Cantor remarked, sharing hopes for more shared moments in both English and Spanish.

Cantor’s history in soccer broadcasting spans decades, with highlights including his first game in 1987 and calling every game of the 1990, 1994, and 1998 World Cups for Univision. His trajectory has mirrored the growth and popularity of soccer in the U.S., amidst the challenges he faced from mainstream media skepticism.

The upcoming match serves as a prelude to the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, a turning point anticipated by many in American soccer.

Cantor’s unique goal call is well-known, but he emphasizes its authenticity over gimmicky approaches, marking this next chapter with his son as a significant personal milestone.
