There's a naked broadcaster in your window! Recently retired Derby midfielder Robbie Savage looked set for a career in radio, but it looks like the world of modelling could be calling. The ex-Leicester City man has turned up in the window of bookmaker William Hill wearing nought but his rather eye-catching swimshorts.

Yesterday we discussed some of the great success enjoyed in year two of the revamped MLSSoccer.com. Page views are up and the site has become a hub for soccer news seeking web surfers. Today, the site launched a great project chronicling North American Soccer. Check here for a link.

We thought it worth taking a look at how far the site has come.

Local cable broadcaster Starhub is being tasked to provide the "LIVE" coverage of this season's Great Eastern-YEO's S.League's matches on every Friday night at 7.25pm from the Jalan Besar Stadium.

How does a 20-team MLS sound to you as a stopping point? Enough? Too many?

Either way, you might just need to formulate a personal opinion on this matter, because it looks like official MLS policy is leaning in on the big 2-0.

MLS commissioner Don Garber was in Dallas over the weekend for the Red Bulls-FCD contest.

Crazy keeper The turncoat! After Montenegro dramatically snatched a point against 10-man England the story was all about how the minnows' had secured a Euro 2012 play-off spot.

It's hardly surprising that Newcastle's first game of the season, against Arsenal at St. James' Park will be televised live by American broadcaster ESPN. Of course last season's fixture, when Arsenal were 4-0 ahead after just 26 minutes and then Newcastle mounted the greatest come-back ever seen in the Premier League when they scored [.

An atmosphere of ‘hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil,' isn't an atmosphere of change or tolerance. Unseen, unheard, unsaid but still there and right or wrong, where will it go?
Former Sky Sports football analyst Andy Gray may sit (unemployed) and wonder why exactly he has lost his job.

LONDON, England - A second key presenter for Sky Sports News left the network Wednesday over a sexism row engulfing the British broadcaster. Anchorman Richard Keys resigned after 20 years with the network, a day after his fellow presenter Andy Gray was fired. The scandal was sparked by off-air footage from Saturday of Keys and [.

US Soccer may not have a game Wednesday, but it will still have a voice.

On the site we will have a few words from Sunil Gulati that I recorded in conversation with him a few Saturdays ago at the Home Depot Center after the Chile game.

Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera has entered the auction for the rights to show live French football, despite having no platform on which to show matches.

Without speaking a lick of the language, it's painfully obvious why this clip from Argentinean broadcaster TyC has garnered such popularity on the YouTube. Because despite the linguistic roadblock, there's this sudden urge to watch some Copa America. Right now.

With Steve Nicol's tenure on the New England Revolution sideline coming to an end, the search begins to replace a coach who was a fixture with the organization for the last decade.

Former longtime Nicol assistant Paul Mariner has to be on the radar, even though he took a position with Toronto FC as director of player development prior to this season.

Can't shake it.

Just can't shake it.

The US Men's team came under fire after Friday's loss to France for its inability to create attacking chances and it's failure to scintillate under new manager Jurgen Klinsmann. For a brief moment now, with a 3-2 victory on the road in Slovenia, the nervous fidgeting that was beginning to surround the team and it's new manager has quelled.

The derogatory chanting aimed at Manchester United and Manchester City following their Europa League 'qualification' not least by Ashley Cole could be taken as an insult by the broadcaster. Instead they wisely decided to treat it as free advertising. Presenters Jim Rosenthal and Stan Collymore enjoyed a singalong of the song over a [.

Under the agreement, New York-based SiriusXM becomes the first U.S.

If a US game is played at HDC in January, and no major US broadcaster carries it, does it exist?

Does Bunbury get a nod up top in this one?

Poor joke.

The USMNT takes on Chile this Saturday in Carson at 7pm PST and if you have the internet, a good connection and the right cable provider, you can watch it.

That Andy Gray and Richard Keys have been suspended from duty by Sky Sports for this evening's Premier League match should come as no great surprise. The issue of their off-the-microphone comments regarding several different issues relating to the role of women in football has spiralled out of the control of the broadcaster and hasn't blown over in the manner in which Sky might have hoped.

LONDON, England One of British soccer's leading television commentators was fired Tuesday, a day after being taken off the air and temporarily suspended for making sexist remarks about a female match official. Andy Gray, the face of Sky Sports' soccer coverage for the past two decades, was dismissed by the broadcaster after "new evidence [.

The nail in Andy Gray's sexist coffin This is the video clip which finally did for Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray.

Video killed the radio star. But, in fact, it didn't. It only transformed the industry. Radio still lives. It's just not that important anymore. However, record companies surfaced a worse fate. Napster brought music piracy to the mainstream, while later iTunes revolutionized the industry making albums less important and singles more consumable.

There is nothing official yet, but Coach Winter mentioned that the Dutch trialists below have been signed following the Turkish training camp. Bouchiba is the veteran player, but the other two are on the young side of 25.

List of Regular Season Games

We all have our soccer broadcasting pet peeves. Some are pretty much a game-by-game occurrence, like the old "feeling out" bit.

As in, "Here in the early minutes, we see the teams just feeling each other out."

It's really such a silly thing to say. If you mean that players are apt to be cautious and make safe passes in the game's early minutes, then just say so!

JP Dellacamera is moving from ESPN to Fox Soccer Channel to become play-by-play man for its Major League Soccer telecasts.
Dellacamera will work FSC's 14 Friday night telecasts, which are exclusive to the network. He had been paired with John Harkes for U.S. national team broadcasts on ESPN and worked the World Cup on ESPN Radio.

It has been confirmed that former MLS Dallas standout and current team broadcaster Bobby Rhine has passed from an apparent heart attack.

A friend of TSG and huge figure in US Soccer.

Our condolences.

Former FC Dallas player and current broadcaster Bobby Rhine passed away last night after suffering a heart attack at the age of 35. He played over 200 games for the MLS team over his 10-year career, and moved into the front office and later match commentary post-playing career. I heard his broadcasts a few times and he seemed to be coming into his own as a commentator.

Bobby Rhine, former FC Dallas player front-office figure and broadcaster, passed away Monday evening of a heart attack at age 35.

Known as a hardworking, geniune and caring individual to those who worked with him or played against him, Rhine's passing at such a young age has stunned the U.

It has been a dark day here in Dallas. The news came down to me early this morning that former FC Dallas midfielder and current team broadcaster Bobby Rhine had passed away due to a heart attack. Rhine was at the beach with this family when he passed away.

I shared my thoughts on Rhine over at SBNation.

Why 'jokes' about cancer are no laughing matter

A few weeks ago, when parts of London were in flames, the much-loved broadcaster Danny Baker wrote on Twitter that he wished cancer on every one of the rioters. Maybe he was trying to be funny but it didn't read that way.

This blog covers the soccer media, so we would be remiss if we didn't note the premature and sad passing of FC Dallas broadcaster Bobby Rhine. Only 35 years old, Rhine spent more than 10 years with the Dallas organization, as a player, front office memeber and broadcaster. From the team website: "It is an extremely sad day in the history of FC Dallas," said Doug Quinn, President and CEO of FC Dallas.
