Here mostly for soccer posts and cool science stuff.

I love Nashville SC and I like talking and reading about it. I made a Nashville SC feed, it’s not monetized in any way: https://bsky.app/profile/nscjake.bsky.social/feed/nashvillesc
Game day!

Nashville SC has their first whistle of the season today against the Chicago Fire. Time to workshop the wins.

Cristian Espinoza is the most underrated player in MLS history.
Facundo Torres was 33rd overall in Intentional xA per 96 Minutes at the winger position between 2022 and 2024 in MLS. 😬

He's the exact opposite of what Austin needs.

On the SixOneFiveSoccer.com Discord, I just saw this X post. Maybe Warren Madrigal's visa issues have been worked out?

West African accents are so melodic and fun to hear. The rising and falling intonations are almost like singing instead of talking. #EveryoneN

This is the reason I'm most excited for Espinoza

I highlighted the two main target areas for Espi's Key Passes last season

Who likes to drift to the left and score goals on his right foot? Sam Surridge

Who likes to charge down the right and score? Hany Mukhtar

Cristian Espinoza’s press conference had all the expected questions.

But go to 8:00, he’s asked about playing with Andy Najar.

He lights up in a way he didn’t for any other question. Playing with the best right back in the league seems to be a big point of excitement for Espinoza. #EveryoneN

Nashville SC have officially signed Cristian Espinoza to a DP contract through 2028 with options for through June 2029 and the 2029-30 season.

Mike Jacobs: “He makes our attacking corps more versatile and flexible, and we think he’s a tremendous fit and key piece to our group.”

Nashville SC plane watch!

On November 23, a plane that may, or may not, be fractionally-owned by NSC flew to San Jose and stayed there for a few hours.

It was not a long stay, so it seems very unlikely this had anything to do with Cristian Espinoza. But I’m going to pretend it did. #EveryoneN
Boy it sure would stink if Nashville SC signed Cristian Espinoza to a team-friendly deal! That would really upset me! Nothing would make me madder than if we finally found our third star up front and really unlocked this team! I mean it!

(Calibrating juju, please stand by.)

Nashville immediately move into the Tier 1 contender group.

We need to spend more time talking about Gaston Brugman's replacement.

He played 1,200 min for NSC and was one of the best in the league at getting the ball into the box and into the final 3rd on a per-90 basis.

Corcoran should help but we need a big signing here too

Glad to see the Sam Surridge bobblehead night. The rumors of him moving to the Championship or EPL seem to have been overblown, or just negotiating tactics. #EveryoneN

Here’s his radar from this year, with much fewer minutes, which causes higher variation in the bars.

A lot of the same, but he hasn’t been as good creatively, and finishing is a touch worse. No real worries considering the small sample size.

Matthew Doyle has Nashville SC as the top grade. I saw this from a post by @benwright.bsky.social
Final grades are in!

Grading every East team's 2025 season – new signings, player development, style of play and, of course, wins. Did they hit expectations or not?

Including a Miami team that looks set to just keep winning.

Is Luke Brennan from Atlanta United a good target to replace Shaffelburg? Affordable, young, connecting player rather than a burner. Fits into BJ’s system a lot better.

Saba Lobjanidze would be great, too, but he might be too old and expensive. #EveryoneN
🚨 BREAKING: Nashville SC are sending winger Jacob Shaffelburg to Los Angeles FC, sources confirm to @sixonefivesoccer.com. Shaffelburg spent four seasons in Nashville and broke into Canadian national team, and now joins one of the best attacks in MLS.
