Tbf if Apple go for the full monty you can ditch most of the others.

Worst case scenario is they just become a fourth service with a handful of games.

Apple TV is actually decent and Amazons coverage is so bad so i would welcome this

What they've put together with MLS has been fantastic. No blackouts, 4k streaming, all games available live and on replay, and a whip-around show for when your team isn't playing that checks in on all the matches live.

If they consolidate coverage would probably be a huge win for all of you in the UK as all matches would probably be available for streaming.

Also was only $99 for the season which is well worth the subscription.

Anything where goons aren't commentating on our games and I'm (already) in.

Would you pay £20 a month to watch every single PL match throughout the season with no blackouts? £30? £50?

I feel like many would.
