mlssoccer
Mlssoccer focuses on the point where sports, technology, and media intersect within the Major League Soccer ecosystem. Their coverage concentrates on broadcast innovation and the way new platforms such as Apple TV change how professional games are produced and watched. They write in direct, explanatory prose that foregrounds what is new about a development and why it matters for the sport.
Apple TV live sports innovation
The core of Mlssoccer’s recent work is coverage of Apple TV’s role in sports broadcasting, particularly landmark projects that push the format forward. In reporting on Apple TV’s first major professional live sporting event shot entirely on iPhone 17 Pro, they highlight a clear shift toward more flexible, device-driven production. The piece treats the announcement as a sports story as much as a technology story, drawing out how the broadcast format could alter the way matches are captured, packaged, and delivered to viewers.
Smartphone-first production in professional sports
Mlssoccer’s writing on the iPhone 17 Pro broadcast focuses on what it means to rely on a smartphone-class camera for a full-scale live event.
Rather than dwelling on specifications, they frame the production choice in terms of reliability, image quality, and workflow on matchday. Their coverage notes how using iPhone 17 Pro across an entire event demands new approaches to camera placement, live switching, and on-the-fly adjustments, and how those changes can influence the feel of the broadcast. The tone is practical and grounded, emphasizing operational detail over hype.
Media partnerships and fan experience
In work around the Apple TV initiative, Mlssoccer links the technical shift to the broader relationship between the league, its media partners, and supporters.
They show how a broadcast experiment, such as shooting a full professional game on iPhone 17 Pro, feeds into a wider strategy to make matches more accessible and visually distinctive on a subscription platform. Their reporting connects the partnership to concrete fan-facing outcomes, such as new viewing angles, on-screen features, and the potential for more dynamic content around match coverage.
Throughout, they keep the focus on how these changes shape the experience of following the sport.

He focuses on sports media, ownership and era‑defining stars, tracking how broadcasting, business and masculinity shape what fans see and feel. His work ranges across football, basketball, US sports media and cricket, with recurring attention to US television networks, commentators, podcasts and the “sports bros” manosphere, and to governance, regulation and money in elite football. He writes about figures such as Kylian Mbappé and Victor Wembanyama as markers of new epochs in sport. Timms has also written for The Sydney Morning Herald, Salon, The Daily Beast, The New York Times and The New York Review of Books.

He is a senior rugby league reporter for The Age, covering the NRL, State of Origin and elite club competitions. His beat spans player movement, governance and the business of the sport, with frequent reporting on squad changes, injuries, judiciary outcomes, selection calls, contracts, salary cap pressure and club politics. He also covers expansion discussions, franchise bids, venue decisions, broadcast and scheduling issues, and industrial disputes. His work relies on sourced detail from coaches, agents, club officials, administrators and players, and he uses reported news, direct quotes and specific facts to explain how decisions are made and what they mean.
Andrew Wu
Andrew Wu is a sports journalist at The Age whose AFL work uses game nights, especially for big clubs, to test how well teams are built, focusing on structure, depth and pressure rather than just the score. He writes where individual star performances meet system-wide problems, asking why a side can fail even when its marquee players deliver. His match analysis treats each game as evidence in a larger case about a club’s direction, with clear, direct reporting built from player roles, match‑ups and key passages that reveal mentality and adaptability. Wu covers major codes, particularly AFL and cricket, bringing a cross‑code view of how teams manage form, fatigue and selection over long seasons. He is drawn to list balance, system integrity and whether clubs and national sides can turn talent into reliable performance with stakes beyond a single match.
Andrew van Leeuwen
Andrew van Leeuwen covers top-level motorsport with a focus on how rules, governance and competitive dynamics shape what happens on track. He writes for Speedcafe about Supercars and international series, treating officiating and regulation as core competitive factors rather than background noise. His reporting follows how race control and judicial processes influence Supercars outcomes, unpacking stewards’ calls, penalties, protests and appeals and linking them to points, grids and race results. He also runs the week-to-week Supercars beat, tracking race weekends, team form, strategy, technical changes, balance of performance shifts and the driver market. Team principals and drivers feature heavily in his coverage of car development, engineering changes and intra-team dynamics. He consistently explains Gen3 regulations, parity debates, format and calendar changes, and covers major global series through the lens of governance, commercial shifts and high-level regulatory change.
