Do they have to do a tonne of research on each player before the game and how do they recognise players from lesser known nations?

As others have responded, it’s a combination of research and prep and creating a cheat sheet for themselves to reference during the game.

Joe Buck (NFL commentator) tweeted out a sample of his [cheat sheet](https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/joe-buck-nfc-championship-note-sheet-packers-49ers-01dyzgf4pzce) for a game. My understanding is that he creates the printed sheet himself and then, in this example, he’s made further notes and adjustments.
