OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Bantz Lord T]

Based on this and their MLB broadcasts, the MLS project sounds like it will be complete trash

This is stupid in a country like the US that’s heavily immigrant based. Most soccer fans aren’t white Americans, so who are they trying to cater to with this accent thing?

Also, a lot of people who are born in the US have somewhat of a “foreign” accent because of the neighborhoods they grew up in. Among my friend circle you can tell that a lot of us grew up in 99% immigrant neighborhoods just by our accents alone. Are they seriously saying that people from these areas (that have infinitely more soccer fans) are turned off by hearing Spanish accents

Keep shooting yourself in the foot MLS you’d think they’d hire MORE “foreign” accented commentary to help grow the sport instead of hiring more generic and bland Americans. US soccer culture is always so alienating

IMO, This is more evidence that this MLS/Apple deal was done out of desperation. Why didn't they think of this before cutting off all the local broadcasters for all these teams?

Our tech overlords are completely out of touch with reality. Nothing new.

Would be a coup for them



Please do it lmao

Marcelino also in the running

They've got really good young talent pool but they desperately need to find a reliable 9 along with CB's for the next international tourney cycle...

Good on them for keeping him on. Good managers can have a bad string of results. Look at Marcelo Bielsa with Argentina in 2002. They rightfully kept him on after.

Dr Sciglio's a proud Milan boy though and through

 

[degenerate423]

this might end bad

Hiring the best commentators is just putting lipstick on a pig anyway .

Partey was garbage in the world cup

I feel like you say everyone is garbage.

 

[noskey]

If Apple is focusing hiring on American broadcasters, I hope it means our Portland boys got picked up. Zivin is a great play by play guy.

As a side note, im glad I get this MLS service for "free". Id still pay for it, but now I wont feel obligated to complain about the quality.

well obviously, he's got better technical skills than every player in the brazil squad. embarrassing that they couldn't control a ball free falling from 200 feet in the air. fluid hips is the best player the world has never heard of (except rafael leao who modeled his game after him)

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Speaking of commentators I find Derek Rae annoying, we get it you know German

I know quality when I see it

Should've been a scout

Honestly, US soccer has been trying to cater to the Midwest for the longest.

Fools had world cup qualifiers in the snow out there

 

[rolaholic]

Lucho to step down in the next 24-48 hrs

I honestly don’t see Felix moving this Winter because I don’t think Atleti will accept the fact that they can’t get their money back.

They just won’t accept that L.

Felix might have to staying jail another 6 months.

 

[Coupé It]

See what I mean. No one is buying Felix for €140 million.

 

[Coupé It]

No idea what Hazard is talking about. He retired on this day long long ago.

They’re doing this but make the majority of the population who live in coastal cities are forced to listen to Chris ****ing Collinsworth every Sunday
