I have cable too but I also have ESPN+ and Hulu which will soon be Disney+

But most people are going the no cable route.

Also if you know someone with these streaming platforms then you can just ask for their info which is how I currently use Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I agree that it is criminal. They think everyone is rich.

I can't really afford to pay for all these streaming platforms and still keep my cable. Also let's not forget about monthly subscriptions to freaking read newspapers online.

It is out of hand. Just need to choose pick and choose which ones you need and which ones you can live without

Disney are coming out with a bundle this fall that combines Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN+ all for $12.99

Disney announces $12.99 bundle for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+

That's not a bad deal if you think about it.

At that price it will include commercials on Hulu and Disney Plus but they're bound to make an ad-free bundle for a few bucks extra

I get to watch all of that stuff without paying for any of it. My son finds it free. Not sure how he does it. I'm pretty sure I don't want to either. Lol

Easily done. Quality isn't always assured though.

Nope not bad at all. I'm paying the same roughly now for ESPN+ and Hulu

The streaming platforms are out of control. NBC will be coming out with their own in another year or 2. Hard to keep up

I wouldn't be all that surprised if we didn't medal.

True. He seems to find good ones though. Every once in awhile he might need to adjust something or switch sites. But they always seem to be good quality.

Pretty sure the internet police are gonna show up one day. lol

I think the combination of time difference + lack of superstar players has kind of put me off this World Cup

Still rooting for them. But through box office scores

Yeah on the weekends it sucks for sure but 830 AM EST is great for me actually in the week. I start working at 8 so I'll have team USA up tomorrow and Thursday morning

Sadly on the West Coast the games are at 5:30 AM. Just not worth it for me.

Now for the 2020 Olympics, providing we actually get some superstars show up for the team, i'm willing to make an exception. Those games in Tokyo should be at a ridiculous time too.

Canada lost yesterday. Not going to get easier for them as they have Lithuania next.

They could have had a solid squad if some of their players didn't back out

I think the USA will do better than most people think.

Quality is decent. Like anything depends on your connection. I have pretty poor wireless service in the area where I live, but even then it streams pretty well. So I imagine if you have a strong connection you won't have any issues. I stream it on my television through a firestick.

A firestick sounds like Big Red's replacement for @Mecca.....

Starting to think you're right. This team is struggling HARD vs Turkey right now. Hard to see them winning a medal at this point.

Shame on all those players who turned down this opportunity
