Just got this in the mail. Thanks again to everyone who voted for me! Not sure how we pulled it off, but I’m so grateful to everyone who’s read my coverage over the last seven years.
It’s been a joy covering Major League Soccer and Nashville SC, and I can’t wait to keep it going!

📰 Nashville SC's 2025 season finished on a low note. But despite the ending, it shouldn't be remembered as anything other than a major success, one that put the club ahead of schedule under BJ Callaghan and should set them up for more in 2026.

Incredibly fun team to watch basically all year. Callaghan's done a fantastic job, and wow is this winter about to be very interesting.
Brutal for Nashville that such a great season is ending with such a hollow whimper.
They've been absolutely carved apart here. 13 goals conceded in four games against Miami.

Busy offseason for Nashville SC starts now. They performed ahead of schedule in 2025, the first year of a multi-window rebuild. 13 players out of contract or in option years, and I'm expecting significant roster changes as they continue to overhaul.
87 days until Concacaf Champions Cup kicks off!

Nashville's 2025 season officially ends. First trophy in club history and a bevy of positives, but a painful way to end things.
Ahead of schedule in a multi-window rebuild, and expecting significant roster changes this winter. Excited to see what this team looks like in 2026!

Insanity.
46' | Surridge has the ball in the back of the net after a fantastic run from Shaffelburg, but it's waved off for an apparent foul on Maxi Falcón.

Jeisson Palacios is a massive, massive miss for Nashville tonight. Best center back on the roster and apparently they cannot defend in the open field without him.

Yet another completely avoidable mistake from Nashville leads to another easy goal for Messi. You simply cannot be beaten over the top that easily.

You can't give the ball up like that in the middle of the pitch. Unlucky deflection on the pass for Corcoran, but that's a mistake you can't make against this team.
10' | Miami take an early lead. Matt Corcoran gives the ball away cheaply to Lionel Messi, and his shot looks like it takes a slight nick on its way in to freeze Joe Willis. Nashville behind early with a huge hill to climb.

According to Nashville SC's communications team, Jeisson Palacios has been nursing an injury and his status was a game-time decision.
He wasn't on the injury report, and made the trip to Ft. Lauderdale. Big test for Jack Maher tonight.
