- U.S.– Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, Oguchi Onyewu;
- Argentina — led by FIFA Player of the Year (FIFA Ballon d’Or) Lionel Messi, Gabriel Milito, Nicholás Burdisso, Javier Pastore and others.
ESPN’s lead soccer commentator team – Ian Darke and John Harkes – will provide commentary. This telecast will mark Darke’s first commentating on a U.S. team match in the United States. Paired with Harkes, during South Africa 2010, Darke’s style of commentary, infused with restrained passion, timing and pacing, captured the imagination of fans enthralled by the U.S. team’s memorable run in the tournament, highlighted by the stoppage time goal in a 1–0 victory over Algeria.
That will do it.
