ESPN have spoken to Bruce Arena about him commentating for the 2010 World Cup. His outspoken approach to press conferences seems to have caught their attention.

"I asked him if it was something he would ever consider, because he always had opinions - and he definitely would give me opinions on our commentators," says Tim Scanlan, the man in charge of soccer at ESPN.

So, are ESPN getting wise? Probably not, Scanlan also suggested that Dave O'Brien could return for the 2010 World Cup.

The World Cup was clearly a success in the US. The final match between France and Italy drew over 17 million viewers (more than Game 6 of the NBA finals) The only downside to this is we’re still likely to be stuck with Dave O’Brien for a LO...
