Kyle Martino, former U.S. National Team player and Major League Soccer standout, has joined Fox Soccer Channel as host of Soccer Talk Live, a new original series premiering Monday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. ET.


Presented by Progressive Insurance and available in high-def, Soccer Talk Live is a fast-paced, entertaining, hour-long studio show airing every Monday from August through May. Martino’s guests will range from world-class athletes to musicians, actors and authors, all discussing their passion for the “beautiful game” and how soccer impacts their lives.

During the debut episode Martino welcomes Landon Donovan, LA Galaxy midfielder and leading goal scorer in U.S. Soccer history. Donovan recently led the Americans to a Round of 16 finish at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa, galvanizing the nation with his heroic extra-time goal vs. Algeria to secure a spot in the knockout stage.

Soccer Talk Live viewers will be treated to an in-depth recap of the week in international soccer, get insights directly from the stars of the game and have an opportunity to engage with the program to share their opinions on the latest news, rumors and upcoming matches. Fans can follow the show on Twitter @soccertalklive, and “Like” it on Facebook.

Meanwhile, Temryss Lane will contribute a weekly feature segment exploring the world of soccer with those who play and support the game.
