New York City FC star Frank Lampard – rapidly turning into one of the worst investments in recent American pro soccer history – could start getting face time before he gets playing time.

Lampard, getting paid a hefty $6 million salary that is the sixth-highest in MLS, hasn’t played a single second this season for NYCFC due to a left calf injury. But that didn’t keep the English midfielder from signing a deal to moonlight for BBC this summer, providing commentary for the European Championships along with a group of analysts that includes US national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
