Scrolling through my insta and saw a USMNT post about the friendlies this month and one will be on TNT and the other HBO max. On top of that the new MLS deal now only has Fox as their linear partner.

Sure it's fun to beat up on them, but it is odd that the #1 source for sports in America won't have any domestic soccer. Not to mention their coverage is light-years ahead of Fox, while MLS may as well be an afterthought on Apple TV.

We'll see how much the USMNT gets exposure on Warner/aol/time/discovery/whoeverbuysthemnext, but it's going to be weird finding games in-between Fast and Furious movies.

Because of shady bidding practices.

Twellman left ESPN the other day to join the MLS/AppleTV team.

Ya I saw that, the only saving grace


I'm gonna miss all the MLS games on ESPN+, I've had my fill of streaming apps I don't think I'm gonna get apple just to watch it now.

I’d be fine with that if they keep Rebecca Lowe, the 2 Robbie’s and being back Kyle Martino. Peacock does nothing for me.

Eh I actually like NBC’s coverage of the premier league, they do a good job. Plus we get tGOAT Peter Drury for big games.

I thought for sure he would use his "what are we doing" tirade fame to host a Good Morning America type show.
