Former soccer stars are making brisk money.

Since the start of the World Cup competition, hardly does one zap to a sports television channel without eyeing a former soccer star either on the panel or in one of the stadium’s reporting cabins.

The most highly admired in Brazil are, former Olympic Lyon midfielder, Juninho Pernambucano consultant for RMC Tv, Faustino Asprilla for Columbian Tv, Thiery Henry, Rio Ferdinand and Clarence Seedorf for the BBC, Robert Pires for beIN sports and Bixente Lizarazu consultant for TF1.
