David Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Any MLS fans in the house? With the new AppleTV deal it's now possible to follow a team throughout the entire season without worrying about regional blackouts and suchlike. Season is a few weeks deep, and already my beloved Toronto FC look like they're going to fail despite spending big on Italian talent. Quote

I follow the USL and USL1 because I'm a football hipster and follow San Diego Loyal. American football is good entertainment. You can get a lot of the regional leagues and USL2 and all the women's equivalent leagues on ElevenSports too. Quote

Some lovely kits to be found in those leagues, but I do find the level of football quite poor when I've seen it. Having said that, this is a Forward Madison house. Go 'Mingos! Quote

Fascinating watching some of the places they play, too, and the different leagues they have in place. There's a huge amount of participation across the States as well just looking at the amount of leagues they have going on. Quote

I never see it anymore, but when it was on Sky I took a liking to LA FC. I seem to gravitate to the smaller team in LA (Clippers fan) for some reason. Quote
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted March 13, 2023 Paid Members Posted March 13, 2023 I always keep an eye on Indy Eleven's scores. An endearingly crap American name, I went to one of their games when I was visiting the US. The games at the time were played in the massive 70,000 seater Lucas Oil Stadium, also the home of NFL team the Indianapolis Colts. The most surreal game I've been to in my life, a couple of thousand of us in this colossal stadium watching some USL Championship action. It made watching Queen's Park at Hampden a few years back seem relatively normal. This season I've also been checking Atlanta United's results to see how Giakoumakis is getting on. That move still seems madness to me. Quote

I'm sure I read that he's basically tripled the salary he was getting at Celtic, so there's that. Plus, the idea of living as a wealthy person in somewhere like Atlanta certainly beats living in Glasgow. Quote

Season is a few weeks deep, and already my beloved Toronto FC look like they're going to fail despite spending big on Italian talent. Used to follow Toronto as one of their managers played for Bristol City, however for no apparent reason they locked international fans out of their online player and 15 years go by with no regular at-will service until now (Sky's ham-fisted promotion of LA Galaxy as if they were Leeds notwithstanding); so I've latched onto STL City as I follow both the Cardinals and the (then-STL) Rams. 3 games, 3 wins. Apple's player could use a little work in that there's too much digging to get to full-game replays, and they need to HIDE THE SCORES. That's the biggest gripe. Other than that it plays really smoothly, no connection issues on my end. May wait a couple of months to get a monthly deal and then pay the full amount next year. Quote
David Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Yeah, that option to find full match replays is convoluted as all hell. It's easy enough to hide the scores though. Quote
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted March 14, 2023 Paid Members Posted March 14, 2023 I'm looking forward to this (and will even for the years we're not involved). It's always felt pretty backwards for a global sport that you can only see a maximum of two competitive games a year between a European vs other continents clubs. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 14, 2023 Author Paid Members Posted March 14, 2023 There needs to be a proper club World Cup. This is a step in the right direction. Do it in the years of the European Championship, which is always shite. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted March 14, 2023 Members Posted March 14, 2023 Got excited then and thought the Cup Winners Cup was back Read A Tournament Frozen In Time by Steven Scragg about that competition if you haven't. It's great. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted March 26, 2023 Members Posted March 26, 2023 Kazakhstan have just come from 2 down to beat Denmark 3-2. At one point on bet365, they were 150/1 to win. What a result. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 26, 2023 Author Paid Members Posted March 26, 2023 And Morocco beat Brazil in a friendly last night! Quote
