The male announcer is a language traitor.
He’s American but he says stuff like “Netherlands throw it in” or “France are a good team” or “Coldplay are a good band.”
That’s the British way of speaking. We treat groups as singular when using their label. I think he’s watched too many soccer games with British announcers in order to practice and doesn’t know how’s saying it the wrong (British) way.
