MLS/USA football heading into the world cup next year

Post Manuel »

Just seen it discussed on Talksport that in 2022 Apple TV agreed a deal with MLS as the sole broadcaster for MLS matches for $2.5 billion over 10 years (news to me) It's $99 a year to subscribe, or $79 if you already have an Apple TV subscription. When Messi arrived in Miami part of his deal was that he got some of the Apple TV money. ESPN who now don't show any games, won't discuss the league at all on any of their shows. 

As for the national side, Pochettino hasn't made a good start, a side that has no identity and they lost twice over the last few days. Its hard for them to get friendlies with European countries (as they use to do) since UEFA introduced the Nations League. But overall, plenty of optimism around the world cup, with most games expected to sell out.

I found it all mildly interesting. Do any WHOer's residing over there subscribe to Apple's season pass? or any thoughts on Pochettino, the national side, and next years world cup, in general?
