If you're watching the World Cup 2022 quarter-final between Croatia and Brazil and are wondering who the BBC commentators are, we've got you covered.

Guy Mowbray and Jermaine Jenas are behind the mic for this game, the first of the last eight in Qatar.

Mowbray primarily appears on the BBC and BT Sport. While working for Eurosport at the 1998 World Cup, he became the youngest-ever television commentator on a World Cup Final at the age of just 26. He has been the primary BBC commentator since 2010. 

Jenas made over 270 Premier League appearances in his career before turning to punditry and presenting as a regular on BT Sport and the BBC. A regular pundit on Match of the Day, he also began co-presenting The One Show for the BBC in 2020.

In the studio, Mark Chapman is presenting the coverage; he's joined by pundits Alex Scott, Jurgen Klinsmann and Micah Richards.

Chapman is the current host of Match of the Day 2 and lead 5 Live sport presenter. He also hosts the BBC’s Rugby League and FA Cup coverage as well as The Athletic's The Athletic Football Podcast. Chappers is a Manchester United fan and is also known as a sports newsreader and co-presenter with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1 during the noughties.

Scott appeared 140 times for England, represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics and won five titles in English football with Arsenal. When she covered the 2018 FIFA World Cup, she became the first female football pundit at a World Cup for the BBC and has since presented Football Focus, coverage of women's football on the BBC and the 2020 Olympic Games alongside Clare Balding.

Klinsmann earned 108 caps for Germany and is one of the most revered players of the 90s, winning the World Cup in 1990 and European Championship in 1996. Klinsmann also managed Germany and the United States at World Cups, most recently taking charge of Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga. The German is a regular on the BBC during World Cups and was a pundit during the 2018 final. 

Richards played for Manchester City for 10 years between 2005 and 2015, going on loan for the last of those seasons to Fiorentina in Serie A, before moving to Aston Villa. The former defender won two titles, was capped 15 times for England and played for Great Britain at the 2012 Olympic Games. Richards is a pundit across Sky Sports, BBC Sport and US network CBS Sports, appearing across radio and television including Match of the Day.
