MLS needs to sort out their playoff TV schedule. I couldn't get half the games yesterday on random channels.

It’s ok to have Univision along with espn and fox, but it shouldn’t be an either/or for broadcasts. All broadcasts should be on ESPN/Fox at a minimum.

to add. If they give Univision an exclusive (which they shouldn’t for playoffs) they should be obligated to provide an english language broadcast.

I couldn't get the Univision feed. I logged into the app with my cable provider, got access to their main channel, but TUSN or whatever was still blocked. I spent some time playing with streams and VPNs, then gave up.

It's TUDN, which is the rebranded Univision Deportes channel, which is carried on many fewer cable packages than Univision primary, which is where most MLS games are shown (though they always put some on Deportes, especially back during the Univision Friday night soccer days a few years ago). If your cable package has it, you should not have needed the app. If it's not in your package, then you're probably not entitled to see it in the app. I think this wasn't a tech issue so much as an access issue, and Univision is probably using some its biggest sports properties to coerce more providers into adding TUDN on to more packages for more rights fees, which providers are unwilling to do because most of their customers don't want their fees going up for a Spanish language sports network that shows a lot of soccer and has no interest for them. And MLS lost all its leverage whenever it sold the rights to Univision and allowed Univision to choose which of its networks to put the games on.

I eventually got the Deportes feed working through the Plus app around 35 minutes into the late game. News feed was blocked on Plus and I apparently don't have either channel in my cable package in spite of paying for a sports package. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

instead of spending all that money to buy SUM back, they should have purchased back the Univision rights. They still can, especially if they have an english language contract waiting in the wings.

So New Jersey winning 2-0

Andre Blake living a nightmare right now.

FS1 just missed 90% of the Philly goal. smh.

 

[mgarbowski]

2-1. I was In favor of the switch to 1 game knockouts and am happy to see it produce greatly entertaining games.

This is the kind of playoffs that brings in soccer fans.
