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.

Here at Geodis Park for Nashville’s US Open Cup championship party, and this crowd is unreal! Fantastic turnout for the first trophy in club history.

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."

🥔 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.

Lol at Aníbal Godoy apparently gesturing for Portland players to meet him outside the stadium. Never change.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Espérance grab their first-ever Club World Cup win at Geodis Park. Awesome game, great win, and one of the best atmospheres I’ve seen at a game. Only 13k fans at the stadium, but they were in full voice the full 90+ minutes. Awesome stuff.

19-year-old Matt Corcoran was 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 against NYCFC on Saturday in just his third MLS appearance. Two secondary assists, 90% passes completed, seven passes into the final third, and some excellent defensive works. Super, super high ceiling.
