Seriously how are they going to have game 5, with the Cup in the building, only on a cable channel in the US?! Not even on ESPN+! ๐Ÿ˜

In previous years, games where the Cup was in house to be presented were on NBC over-the-air. I could bust out an antenna to watch. Cable subscriptions are increasingly unpopular and replaced with streaming platform subscriptions. This article shows 2-5 million cable subscribers a year dropping cable for the last 7 years, with fewer than half of households still having a cable subscription.

Yeah it's kinda lame, I just watched previous years over broadcast with my antenna no problem. This year if I want to watch these games I have to go find an illegal stream.
