Also of note, Mukhtar tied his teammate, Teal Bunbury, for 35th all time in career MLS goals.

As long as Hany stays in MLS and remains healthy, he will almost assuredly finish in the Top 10 on the all-time goal scoring list.

Nashville SC sweep the Philadelphia Union with a 1-0 win at home.

Finally recovered from last night.

Easily the best atmosphere since the Leagues Cup final.

This team and this coach are building something special. Truly elite mentality on display last night to snatch all 3 points with their backs against the wall in sweltering conditions.

I think Hany is there, but probably needs one piece of silverware to cement it. Especially since it would be the first title in TN professional sports history.

Analysis: Nashville SC among MLSโ€™s smartest spenders, per 2025 salary data Nashville SC's 2025 roster build shows significant investment in quality and flexibility

Forget just spending big, Nashville SC is spending smart.

After turning over the roster, NSC is littered with tremendous value contracts. I've analyzed the MLSPA salary numbers to illustrate where performance is crushing the price tag.

โ€œThe โ€œNashville 2.0โ€ line may have sounded like a cheesy moniker in January, but it has proved positively prophetic as we enter June."

Callaghan & Jacobs flipped NSC upside down and emerged as an early MLS success.

Where was this contract textualist argument when the league didnโ€™t have a force majeure clause that covered the pandemic in 2020 and ownership threatened a lockout??

MLSPA negotiated in good faith then in the face of a highly improbable event.

Time for ownership to do the same.

The NBA and WNBA are now actively posting on Bluesky and I can't emphasize enough how important it is that we do everything possible to support these accounts, because how many followers they acquire and how much positive engagement they get will 100%, unequivocally determine how committed they are to this place AND how likely it is that other leagues & sports personalities could then come here too. These accounts aren't just big accounts, they're bridges to entire communities and the ripple effect of them succeeding here would be MASSIVE. If you want to stick a stake through Twitter's heart, this is how you do it - but remember, the NBA and WNBA don't *have* to be here and it's not a foregone conclusion this isn't anything more than a trial run. So yes, don't just follow these accounts: help promote them and positively interact w them too. Let's show them this place is worth investing in.

Confirmed that Dru Yearwood is the trialist with #SportingKC. Yearwood spent the last few seasons with Nashville SC.

Came to MLS with RBNY. 25-years-old, can play the six or eight. Won't take an INTL slot if signed.

This week in the @615Soccer Discord, I said that I still need to see this team prove it against upper echelon teams.

However, there is a world where BJ Callaghan is the next elite MLS manager and Nashville SC levels up to a top tier side.

We may be living in that world.

Iโ€™m not. But casual American sports fan who isnโ€™t or barely watching soccer right now probably will lump them in together.

MLS isnโ€™t getting a bump from 2026 unless people have positive experiencesโ€ฆ.which will be disproportionately tied to USMNT success.

Everyone talks about the 2026 World Cup's potential to boost MLS/US soccer, but no one considers the reverse.

After last night, USMNT crashing out in the group stage is a real threat - cementing in the public that MLS / US soccer isn't worth watching.

It would be a once-in-a-generation calamity
