In that other place where the sky is blue, same nickname if anyone is interested.

This World Cup has been surreal as a Scottish ⚽️ commentator with a Boston life when away from the 🎙️ Yet work commitments mean being on the west coast commentating while the fun has been going on. Can only say I’ve smiled a lot looking at my worlds colliding, albeit on video.

In today’s @BostonGlobe

@prajhiid No it’s USA only

@RaeComm Ur commentary, will it be telecasted in India!!!

@RaeComm have you been commentating in the world cup games!! Cant hear in any games!! Would love every minute if you do it in the upcoming german games!!!

Big day at the World Cup for obvious reasons. Stay awake with us later here on the west coast for Türkiye-Paraguay. FS1 at 11pm ET/8pm Pacific.

@Dodox7y4 Very strange yes :)

@RaeComm Must be strange for you with us taking over Boston while you are away on the road working

Hoping (and sensing) this is the World Cup that opens eyes. So many Boston area people have been exposed to 🌎⚽️ & specifically to our little 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 country‘s culture. Sports talk hosts, local TV are embracing it in a way the old media guard just wouldn’t in 1994.

The Boston Red Sox would be crazy if after the World Cup they don’t invite Super John McGinn to return as their guest at Fenway and have him throw the ceremonial first pitch. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Now we need a daily flight from Glasgow to Boston.

@GNVillan @sheryllcrow_co Thanks for noticing 😂

@RaeComm Look at you, channeling your inner @sheryllcrow_co 👍😃

@GeoffOnTheAir Thanks Geoff!

I don’t watch a lot of soccer/world football, but when I do, I really enjoy @RaeComm. Great voice, command of a broadcast and language. As good as they come!

@jonacoles @FIFAWorldCup Thank you Jonathan 🙏

@RaeComm sits at the top of his particular game. He is completely prepared--always--full of wit and unexpected gems, and pronounces every name perfectly. He does the work--and enjoys wonderful German cuisine wherever he goes. His "prep sheet" its own language.@FIFAWorldCup

That‘s 4 games down for Rob Green and me. Switzerland ran away with it in the end against the Bosnians but had to work hard for the 3 points. Thanks for watching on @FOXSoccer Back up to the Bay Area for the next game tomorrow.

America hasn’t missed a minute of the @FIFAWorldCup on FOX! With the Group Stage in full swing, @FOXSports unveils broadcaster match assignments leading up to the Round of 32. 🎙️🔗: bit.ly/4ejUrsE

Morning from San Jose airport. Hope you’re enjoying the @FOXSoccer coverage of the World Cup so far. Rob Green & I now en route to Los Angeles ahead of Switzerland versus Bosnia-Herzegovina tomorrow.

Austria scores its first FIFA World Cup goal in 28 years 🇦🇹 Schmid with a beauty into the top corner

Matt did it the right way :)

@bikey99 Enjoying the area? :)

@RaeComm Olise is the most recent in a long line of fabulous players I’ve been lucky enough to see play against Celtic over the years. A real talent.💚

We are so lucky to see Olise perform these feats of magic in the Bundesliga every week.
