Messi scores a golazo and then asks an Orlando coach if he wants his autograph. Incredible rivalry. Elite trash talking. Inject this into my veins.

Tyler Boyd scores his first goal for LAFC (and his first goal in 630 days) and gets the assist from Jacob Shaffelburg, making his LAFC debut. The two wingers moved to Los Angeles from Nashville SC this winter.

A few thoughts on Flo Balogun’s red card and the process to suspend his red card suspension against Belgium tomorrow. Ultimately the right outcome for him to play, but bad process and even worse optics.

I mean, who goes to one of the two biggest clubs in North America in a semifinal and absolutely embarrasses them with the ball?

Nashville got absolutely bombarded coming off the field. Gary Smith took his time celebrating on the way out. This is unreal. #EveryoneN

I certainly didn't have Timothée Chalamet dapping up Alex Muyl on Theo Von's podcast on my 2024 bingo card. "Alex Muyl is a foot Mozart."

I’ll have more nuanced thoughts on the USMNT and this World Cup at some point, but this loss was brutal. It’ll take a while to recover from the way this moment was squandered.

🥔 Incredible quote from Eddi Tagseth on Yazbek: "He's probably the biggest potato I've seen. As we say in Norway, a guy who can do everything – you can use a potato for everything."

This is a brilliant pass from Corcoran and even better defending from Mbokazi.

Wild USL Championship debut for former Nashville striker Forster Ajago. Kicks Louisville's Aiden McFadden in the face, gets a straight red card, and then has to be dragged down the tunnel by his teammates while screaming for VAR. USL doesn't have VAR.

I once asked BJ Callaghan about what happens when pressing triggers break down. "If one of the guys presses, then everyone better be damn sure to press with him and try to save it." Only Luna presses here and the USMNT get carved up.

Pray for Nashville. This storm was bad. There are almost 200,000 people without power today, and it won’t get above 19°.

This is one of the best team goals Nashville SC have ever scored. BJ Callaghan has this team rolling.

It looked to me like Latte Lath punched him in the ribs off the ball. Even if Hagglund bounces right up, that feels like pretty blatant violent conduct.

This was such a bad decision from Gabriel Pec. The Galaxy had all the momentum, were creating chances at will, and had just equalized. Zero need for this on a yellow card, near midfield, and with Glesnes right there to help. It cost the Galaxy the game.

Nashville SC’s win last night against Club América was historic, both for the club and Major League Soccer. The first MLS side ever to win at Estadio Azteca, and now they’re through to the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup.
