I made the mistake of suggesting that about another show on another forum and got shot down. Apparently it's easier to access than you might think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worldwide righs. but the main audience will be US based. It's a new service which currnetly has zero subscribers so will be interesting to see how they market this outside of the US. It's all games all the time with no local blackouts. I bet the price compares very favourably against our options for just watching streaming City matches.

MLS is a band 4 league for GBE (Work Permit) and means there might be the odd nugget to look out for. Chelsea are being linked with an 18 year old keeper with Chicago Fire & Leeds with a New York City striker, I think it is a far better standard of late & because of their salary cap, the wages are rarely a problem. Definitely a league we should keep an eye on, a fair few Americans (& Canadians) have done well over here & there is no language barrier, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyle Larin (Orlando / Canada) hasn’t had a bad time in Turkey and Belgium. 24 international goals too. Was someone I always thought could’ve easily transitioned to the Championship.

I've been a subscriber to Apple TV+ since launch, but pay for it bundled in with other Apple services like their Fitness thing and Music streaming. I doubt they'll bother marketing it too much outside of the US, except to help boost the wider offering (ie. we have amazing tv series, movies and sport). I'll be interested in how they present it and what the coverage is like. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephjnr Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It's the first time in nearly 2 decades people over here can get on-demand games from any team they like other than what Sky think people want to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 This should be quite interesting. I find the MLS quite entertaining, it's not a particularly great league but having the odd star player in there certainly makes the games more open and flowing, I don't think I've ever seen a bad MLS match come to think of it. The interesting thing here is that the TV deal is not far off triple the previous offering, so the standard should pick up with the money coming in. Intrigued to see what happens here.

real_bristol Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Derrick Williams is currently centre back for LA Galaxy, if anyone is looking for a team to follow. Not sure if there’s any other ex-players in the MLS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've used the correct terminology for a good few years now, so this is a bit unfair I suppose the more games they have to cover simultaneously the more chance they'll have of reaching the RobinsTV gold standard of commentating competence.

Pezo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It's pocket change for apple and they to try it out on a large population before having to compete with Amazon for the prem.

You're right, but it's fun to quote euphemisms from American Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 At least the Welsh coach will be able to keep an eye on Bale's form without costing the Welsh FA too much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
