Paul Arriola is not looking good right now. This is a joke, right?

BJ Callaghan says he didn't get much clarity from the referees on Sylvan Hefti's goal and the five-minute video review process, but thought there were two potential offside infractions. I'll be honest, I've watched it back multiple times and can't see how it's 𝘯𝘰𝘵 offside.

FT: Nashville SC drop a two-goal lead on the road in DC.

Two horrific giveaways from Nashville in quick succession, one of them leading to a chance off the post for DC. They went from looking like the deserved winners in the first half to barely hanging on here in the second. This is rough.

DC equalize. Poor turnover from Woledzi carrying the ball into midfield, and then he tries to make up for it with a sliding block that takes Baribo's shot over Schwake. Nashville blow a two-goal lead on the road.

Hany Mukhtar goes down off the ball. Not good.

So DC scored a goal that was ruled off live for what looked like a clear offside on Louis Munteanu, and after a 5:04 VAR review that seemed to be focused on the wrong touch, the goal is given?

Shout out to Atlanta United for going down to 10 men after 25 minutes and immediately scoring the worst goal I’ve ever seen.

Nashville have given up a few set pieces and looks in transition, but they’ve been the better side from the run of play and have consistently got the ball in dangerous spots. Deserved lead.

Nashville getting back to full strenght, with Reed Baker-Whiting and Warren Madrigal on the bench. Summer signing Elias Saad is in the squad and could make his MLS debut.

BJ Callaghan confirms that Reed Baler-Whiting and Warren Madrigal are available. Elias Saad has his visa and is ready to play. Cristian Espinoza is not quite available, but he’s not far away.

I cannot believe a man messed up so badly that I am agreeing with CONCACAF and UEFA. Please remove Infantino from the game.

Miguel Delaney@migueldelaney.bsky.social · 6d ago

Concacaf says it rejects Infantino’s proposal.

Hany Mukhtar, Sam Surridge, Andy Nájar, and Brian Schwake all took the field tonight in the MLS All-Star game, earning a 4-3 win over their Liga MX counterparts.

I, personally, look forward to the 220-team World Cup presented by Blackrock, hosted exclusively in the United States every six months and powered by Polymarket.

🟡 15-yr-old Nashville SC winger Liam Stribling starts and scores in the MLS NEXT All-Star game (up 3-0 inside 12 minutes). A USMNT U16 international, he's the most highly-rated prospect in the academy. One to watch as a likely homegrown signing.
