Peter Drury, known by many as the most articulate commentator in the football world, provided commentary during Argentina's Qatar World Cup 2022 knockout stage clash against Australia on Saturday.

Premier League supporters know the value of the renowned Peter Drury's voice and commentary during a pivotal game. He is currently the most insightful and poetic football expert. Since the 54-year-old relocated to provide his voice to American viewers at the start of the league season this year, he has been much missed by many fans worldwide.

Now an official commentator for NBC Sports, Peter Drury took the mic for Argentina's round of 16 clash against Australia, sparking massive excitement among fans. The football expert was expected to commentate the South American giant's game against Poland earlier this week, but instead, he was behind the mic for Saudi Arabia's match against Mexico.
