MLS = Major League Soccer. Now that we have that out of the way Soccer fans can now enjoy the game in HD thanks to a deal cut with ESPN. This deal reinforces ESPN's commitment to HD as the network now offers seven sports categories with complete HD coverage. The MLS games will be found network-wide on ESPN2, ESPN and ABC but we are thinking that most will be on ESPN2. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just that soccer isn't as popular as, well, championship poker here in the US but maybe high definition will help.
Nice. Now I get to see Beckham in glorious HD. ESPN have stepped up their game recently. Thanks.
That seems odd they would commit to putting Soccer in HD. It barely moves the meter when it comes to mind share. I do not know how the ratings are doing, but I doubt they are that great.
