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 commentator. 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 during Argentina vs Mexico clash in the Qatar World Cup 2022, sparking enormous excitement among football fanatics who missed the veteran's commentary leading into the showpiece event. The poetic genius had earlier commentated during Brazil's 2-0 win over Serbia, Belgium's 1-0 win against Canada and Netherlands' 2-0 win against Senegal.
Argentina faces Group C rivals Mexico to bounce back from their disastrous opening encounter. Their World Cup dreams are already on the line. While the Albiceleste kicked off their World Cup quest for the third time by losing to rank outsiders Saudi Arabia, Mexico survived a scare to draw with Poland on Tuesday.

This Messi-led Albiceleste can now secure a crucial opening victory for the 2022 edition, but it will be a challenging task given the expectations of a football-mad nation and a transitional Mexico team.
