Tech Wig, 05 Jan 2026Show us some stats lol why should I?
actually, go name one MLS team (excluding Inter Miami because of Messi/Suarez/etc.) and 10+ MLS players. Then try to do the same for the English Premier League. Compare the value of players from the former and from the latter as well.

also, have you even watched a EPL game and compare it to a MLS one? it's very clear that MLS teams are only 2/3rd as good as Premier League teams *at best*.

      anyway, I don't remember seeing Oppo/Vivo or who else running ads during the UCL finals, or at least for the final between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain last year. They had ad camps where they even do promotions with Ronaldo Nazario and who else during the UCL season, and Oppo even managed to get a few players use their Find X7 Pro (or Ultra? I think it was the Ultra, but Find X Ultra is only sold in China) to take selfles on the pitch, but nothing else.

        And sure enough, that phone was a massive success

Like, really, just go look up the English Premier League average in-person attendance rate, it's way higher than even the maximum capacity of a MLS stadium lol. And the Premier League is viewed by *billions of people*, and at least tens of millions view it live, even for boring matches, let alone the FIFA World Cup (where, of course, billions of people across the world watch it, once again), or even the UEFA Champions League.

            Why not just use some patatos? They kind of the same and cheaper, or better yet, use a banana.

                      Broadcasts for this year's postseason are averaging 711,000 viewers per match, a 23% year-over-year increase across linear and streaming platforms.
                      This trend follows the growing audience interest in the league over the past year. During the 2025 regular season, MLS averaged 3.7 million gross live match viewers per week across linear and streaming platforms, representing a 29% increase from 2024."

                        slightly off-topic, but: who actually watches MLS? Messi and Suarez fanboys? lol
                        to be fair though, no one would actually watch the Camel Oil League for CR7 either, except for Garnacho and Speed and Mr.Beast and all those Ronaldo fanboys, that is :D

                        Apple should be more like Chinese brands, such as Vivo and Oppo, when it comes to marketing for fútbol instead. Maybe try marketing your phones when it's the World Cup, or when the UEFA Champions League season is going on? or at the very least, market them in the top 5 fútbol leagues in both Europe and the whole world - just look at what Google's been doing with their Pixels in the English Premier League (both the men's and the women's sides). I swear, I could literally see at least one Google Pixel ad on the pitch when a match is going on, and, if I remember correctly, all the star players always managed to squeeze in an ad for Pixels on their social media accounts as well :P
