MLS Cup Final is this weekend. Messi v Muller. There’s been zero promotion for it. Most people probably don’t even know it’s happening. MLS really screwed themselves taking the Apple deal. Behind a paywall and barely any coverage of the sport on other networks. And the game is at 2:30 on Saturday. A weird time and right in the middle of a huge college football slate. The numbers will be atrocious. And on top of all that…they’ve bent the rules and have given Miami so much favorable treatment that the biggest star on the planet, Messi, is a villain and no one outside of Miami fans are rooting for him. If he wins they won’t even really get to capitalize on it because everyone will be mad lol
Them taking it out from behind the paywall was such an easy layup for next season following the WC boost. I’m surprised they even did it. why tf would they schedule the first half during the one game that matters (BYU/TTU) and the second half during Bama/Georgia? Surely one person on their team was like “perhaps we should move to Sunday?”
Interesting RE only Miam fans giving a shit about Messi these days. I wonder if the opinion shifts for his "last ever World Cup" in the summer?
Severely limiting how much teams can spend, product behind paywall, almost zero promotion of product outside of paywall, scheduling the playoffs to coincide with an international break, and showing no concern over having your biggest game at the same time as other major sports events. Great way to a run league lol
Bruno Fernandes being benched STINGS. Didn't take the vice captaincy seriously enough because he's usually so reliable. Less learned rage sold lol
if the club sticks by Amorim and he ends up coming good à la Arteta at Arsenal I will have major crow to eat not sure what else we need to prove he’s not the guy
