World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

Looks like Apple is going after at least a portion of the MLS media rights. Did anyone here watch their MLB stream? I heard the picture quality was good but the announcers suck.

Not looking forward to adding another streaming service but at least the league is getting a sizable chunk of money.

The picture quality was amazing. Everything else was pathetic. It was "baseball for people who don't like baseball."

Boo. That doesn’t give me hope for a potentially enjoyable broadcast. Maybe Apple will hire the crew from CBS’ World Cup Qualifying.

Stephen Nelson was the PBP (from intentional talk). The graphics just looked like iPhone or iOS icons. It was pretty terrible.

Seattle advances to the CONCACAF Champions League Final against Pumas UNAM after drawing NYCFC 1-1 (4-2 on agg.).

Seattle will host the second leg.

Honestly, this has to be the best chance for an MLS team to win the CCL. Though I'm still weary.

Congratulations and good luck in the final, Jim.

People want to install Seattle as the favorite but I can’t see an MLS team as a favorite against a Liga MX team. Pumas has the ability to score a ton at home and end the series after the first leg.

It’s funny to see the reaction from other MLS fans, going from the ever present ACES to #MLS4SEA.

Seattle has always been my #2 MLS team. I see it as SLU vs Clarkson. The Wogs begin at New York State Route 3.

Yeah, I don't share that sentiment. I'm sure there'll be a circumstance where I'd root for Portland, but I haven't found it yet.

A match against the USWNT? :-P

I'm, an Islanders fan who doesn't hate the Rangers, a Mets fan who doesn't hate the Yankees, and a Cornell fan who roots for every ECAC team in the NC$$s. There is clearly something wrong with me; I missed the "hate your arch rival" gene.

Stop the thread. It's over. (mic drop emoji)

[Jimjamesak]

A match against the USWNT? :-P

I'd be rooting for the USWNT at a level that would make The Equalizer say "tone it down a bit". :-D

I am struggling to find an example though. I'd probably root for Portland over a Russian team.

I was raised on a bitter rivalry in UAA-UAF so sports rivalries have always been a part of my life.

Being a backup in Europe is better for a player than being a starter in MLS…
