How do sports commentators remember everyone’s names?

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?

Passion. I had two friends who would get together and talk about (western) football and the conversation was literally bombarding each other with names and stats of players across the entire NFL and CFL to determine who was better, who was most likely to be awesome, etc.

They were both just really passionate about the topic. They read the newspaper for sports stats every day. It’s not work if you love to do it, and sportscasters pretty much have to love their job or they don’t get very far.
