FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 ALEXI LALAS ADDED TO FOX SPORTS’ EXPANDING SOCCER COVERAGE TEAM Soccer Hall of Famer Serves as Studio & Game Analyst For FIFA World Cups, UEFA Champions League, MLS & More New York – Alexi Lalas, a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame and one of the sport’s most recognizable personalities, joins FOX Sports to serve its family of channels as a studio and game analyst. The announcement was made today by John Entz, Executive Vice President, Production. Lalas is expected to make his on-air debut sometime next month. Best known as a standout defender on the U.S. Men’s National Team during the 1994 World Cup, Lalas joins host Rob Stone, Warren Barton and former USMNT teammates Eric Wynalda and recently-added Brad Friedel as key members of FOX Sports’ soccer team. He is set to contribute to FOX Sports’ coverage of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, England’s FA Cup, Major League Soccer, USMNT matches, UEFA European Championship Qualifiers and FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015. “We are very pleased to be able to add one of the sport’s true stars to our exceptional roster of on-air soccer experts,” said Entz. “He has a Hall of Fame pedigree, and comes to us with decades of experience on and off the field. His dynamic personality and passion for the game is evident every time the red light goes on." “I am really thrilled to join FOX Sports and work on the terrific lineup of soccer properties they’ve assembled over the last few years," said Lalas. “I’ve been impressed with the quality and depth of FOX’s soccer coverage and I’m excited to contribute to the overall effort and help grow the sport I love.” Lalas joins FOX Sports from ESPN, where he was the lead studio analyst for the network’s coverage of the 2006, 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups. He also provided analysis on Major League Soccer, USMNT Team matches and international soccer events including the UEFA European Championships and FIFA Confederations Cups. Lalas’ soccer background extends far beyond his broadcasting career. One of the best defenders in American soccer history, Lalas was elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2006. He was the first American to play in Italy’s top division, Serie A, with club Padova, before moving to the MLS in 1996, the league’s inaugural season. He enjoyed much of his on-field success with the LA Galaxy, winning the CONCACAF Champions Cup, the U.S. Open Cup and the MLS Cup. Following his retirement in 2002, he was appointed the general manager of the San Jose Earthquakes; he served the same role with the LA Galaxy in 2008 before joining ESPN. - FOX SPORTS - .

Goal Player” Fall 2014
WSA: Introducing “The Goal Player” Fall 2014 At the last World Cup we have all been able to enjoy the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer who without a doubt showed that the position of the goalkeeper and his role on the team has changed dramatically over the last 10-20 years. This is of course due to the rule change in 1994 which made it no longer possible for goalkeepers to pick up a pass back from one of their team mates. This rule change, however was made 20 years ago, and is not the only reason why the role oF the goalkeeper has changed so much over the last several years. More teams nowadays focus on a well-developed build up from the back, teams push many players Forward to keep the opponents under pressure and the defensive line often plays very high up the pitch. To stay connected with the rest oF the team the goalkeeper is now required to step up away from its backline and serve as the last defender or the sweeper keeper. More than 70% of the work goalkeepers do nowadays is done with their feet and not with their hands! Due to all of these changes the role oF the goalkeeper has changed and the goalkeeper is now not only a keeper, but a field player that is able to his or her hands. Although worldwide many goalkeepers have become “goal players” many young goalkeepers in the US are not instructed or trained to include themselves when their team has the ball. This might be because many of the best soccer players the US produced over the years were great goalkeepers (Tony Meola, Brad Friedel, Kasey Keller and Tim Howard) who controlled the 6th yard boX.
