Other Sports: Soccer/Football Thread Part Six

Missed the match but I would taken a draw before it. City had won every single home match in every competition in 2023 before this.
 
Finally had a chance to watch after spending the Day at friends giving events. Typically I'd say this is what happens with a young and immature squad but the two mistakes leading to goals were from our oldest players.

Embarrassing at best.
 
So the Union are playing a playoff game right now. Would be cool if it were actually on TV
The whole Apple TV deal is garbage. They've had like two weeks off since their last playoff game and none of them are on TV. I have no idea how a second rate league can afford to be on a pay to watch platform. Apple must have forked over a shit ton of money because there can't be that many fans buying the MLS package

It sucks because I enjoyed watching the Union, but I'm not paying to watch them

They forked over a ton of money and we're involved in bringing Messi over.

And no other national broadcaster wanted to offer a "competitive" package because no one watches the games.

Definitely sucks for the casual fan. If no one watched before, there's negative people watching now

It's hard because we are one of the few markets this was an actual negative for - there were a lot of other markets where the team was on some obscure channel that most people didn't have or had to pay extra for.

The other thing is that I think most people are fans of their local teams but not MLS as a whole. I'll gladly watch Union games but I'm not watching LAFC vs LAG, NYCFC vs NYRB etc... so having to pay for the entire league is pointless.
