A long and great episode for everything Nashville SC and MLS. We covered a lot, but we are off next week, so split it up if you’d like haha. Love all the support, please continue to rate and share the pod 🫡

🇮🇶 WE ARE STILL ALIVE FOR THE WORLD CUP!!! I couldn’t watch the entire game, which was probably for the best for my mental health. We left it to the last minute, but we did it. We are potentially one game away from the World Cup, I can’t believe it 🥹

Nashville SC turned over a ton of their roster, clearing up plenty of cap space to make some major additions this winter. It's going to be an incredibly busy offseason for the 'Yotes, and I broke down their biggest needs with CCC less than 80 days away. www.sixonefivesoccer.com/analysis-nas...

There seems to be a clear shift to getting younger. Zimmerman and Willis have been immense for this Nashville squad, but ultimately moving on makes sense. The rest of the decisions are what I expected. Lovitz earned that option with how well he played. Muyl is always a plus. #EveryoneN

With Nashville SC winning the Open Cup and One Knox winning USL L1, Tennessee becomes the fourth state since 1996 to hold both a professional league title and the USOC in the same year. 2024: LAG/LAFC 2023: HOU/Austin II 2005: LAG 1998: Chicago Fire 1996: DCU #EveryoneN | #TOOK

Big fan of the decision, I understand the northern teams’ hesitancy, but I think they can make it work. There are drawbacks, but the positives outweigh the negatives in my book.

First game is going on right now and I am a nervous wreck. It’s way too open for my liking. 1-1 almost halftime 😬

Ultimately I think this is the right decision for Nashville, though I doubt it was an easy one. Zimmerman has a clear influence on the pitch, but also off of it where he is the face of the franchise. With his salary, injuries and age, a new contract would’ve always been risky.

Thanks to Nashville SC comms for the nice surprise and celebrating Pharma 300 with us! Here’s to many more episode covering soccer in our city 🥂 #EveryoneN

It all comes down to this matchup 👀 #Iraq has been absent from the #WorldCup for over 40 years and now, the nation is on the cusp of returning to the big stage. Hear why it means so much to the nation as Iraq prepares to battle the #UAE for the last playoff spot 👏

Man’s gotta eat!!! But also thank y’all for the incredible support.

After a disappointing final match of the season, @valair.bsky.social breaks down the individual performances from Nashville SC.

Instant reaction: Inter Miami CF 4-0 Nashville SC #EveryoneN

Instant reaction: Inter Miami CF 4-0 Nashville SC #EveryoneN

FT: MIA 4-0 NSH A couple of bright spots from Nashville, but overall Miami didn't have much to worry about. Nashville second best in every aspect of the game. The goal was harshly called off, but Nashville nowhere near good enough. The season is over for the Boys in Gold.

Goal Miami 4-0 Allende again, not great for Nashville.

Goal Miami 3-0 Against the run of play, but great combination from Alba and Messi to give Allende the easy finish. #EveryoneN

61' A really good start to the second half from Nashville, and by all accounts, they should've had at least one by now. History tells us Miami is able to score against the run of play, so Nashville need to be really careful here. #EveryoneN

Nashville put the ball at the back of the net, but the referee calls a foul on Sam Surridge. A pretty harsh call I would say, not sure there was much there tbh. Great impact from halftime sub Jacob Shaffelburg though. #EveryoneN

HT: MIA 2-0 NSH Individual mistakes bite NSH again, tbf Miami have put the pressure on. NSH struggling with buildup play and haven't been good going direct either. MIA's extra man in midfield has been really helpful in stopping everything from NSH. Not good enough. #EveryoneN

Goal Messi 2-0 Really poor from Walker Zimmerman who misses the ball completely and the ball falls to Mateo Silvetti who tracks it well. Great pass to Messi who finishes easily. Nashville in trouble. #EveryoneN

20' Nashville have looked better since the goal, but Miami look really dangerous in transition. It's very important for Nashville not to concede again this half. They've looked fairly good on the ball and might be able to cause Miami some problems. #EveryoneN

Goal Messi Miami score from their first shot, again. A bad pass from Corcoran, but Messi was surrounded by Nashville players,it didn't matter though. #EveryoneN

Same lineup for Nashville, which makes sense. I would've been tempted to start Lovitz, but I don't know if he's fully fit. The four midfielder had a great game last time out and they'll need to match that for Nashville to have a chance in this one. BIG game! #EveryoneN

Brian Schmetzer prepping the backup keeper before Seattle even got the equalizer is a baller move. Bro is so confident in his team.

Minnesota vs. Seattle has been a great start to this playoffs match day. MLS playoffs are so much better when every game is an elimination game. Hoping the other two will deliver tonight!

Apparently NYCFC can only score great solo goals. Fernández 🔥

Nashville & Inter Miami oddly have a lot of shared history, big moments against each other. It continues with tomorrow's decisive game 3. Jack Maher: “I don’t know in the history of MLS there’s ever been a time where you play a team four times in a row." www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

BJ Callaghan just confirmed that Dan Lovitz will be available for game three tomorrow. #EveryoneN

We covered Nashville's historic playoffs win over Inter Miami, both on and off the pitch. We also looked at the upcoming fourth straight matchup between the two. Check it out on your podcast app or @sixonefivesoccer.com! #EveryoneN

MLS after dark on a Monday night!!!

Instant reaction: NSH 2-1 MIA #EveryoneN

That was just an awesome playoff game all around in Nashville. The best of 2025 by a mile

great hot mic moment on Chicago Fire radio heading into halftime

Instant reaction: NSH 2-1 MIA #EveryoneN

FT: NSH 2-1 MIA Subbing out 3/4 midfielders was a risk that Nashville almost paid for. At the end a great win for Nashville who played with a lot of confidence. The home crowd showing up despite the weather definitely helped. Game three on Saturday! #EveryoneN

Nashville SC have had some good shouts for fouls, especially in transition. That said, I think referee Allen Chapman has been pretty consistent throughout the match. He is letting them play, and I think he's been fairly accurate in his calls.

62' NSH's defensive unit, which at times has been the entire team, have kept Willis away from any danger. HOWEVER, Miami have kept all of the ball and keep getting closer. I don't think this is sustainable, NSH will need to keep some possession to kill this game. #EveryoneN

HT: NSH 2-0 MIA The midfield box has been great, especially off the ball. Also, Palacios has been massive on both sides of the ball. MIA had some really close chances and they'll probably get something in the second, so NSH can't afford to slow down. #EveryoneN

GOAL JOSH BAUER! Mukhtar finds Bauer from the corner kick who puts the ball in while on the ground. Four goals for Bauer now on the season! #EveryoneN

35' MIA have had a couple of chances and are getting close to a goal. NSH not pressing as high, but still finding the triggers to do it occasionally. Muyl has been a great addition in midfield. He tucks in allowing for numbers in the middle and Najar to take the wide space.

This was probably the chippiest opening 15 minutes Geodis Park has ever seen. Multiple scuffles, somehow only one yellow, but a lot of confrontations on the pitch. This feels like proper MLS playoffs!!!

GOAL SAM SURRIDGE!!! Mukhtar plays a great ball over the top and Surridge is tripped by the keeper then converts the penalty. #EveryoneN

Nashville SC unveil the US Open Cup sign (banner) at Geodis Park. #EveryoneN

Geodis Park is rockin’

Lovitz is a huge loss, the team struggled the few games without him this season. Big opportunity for Corcoran who had a great cameo last match. I think this is back to the 4222, which imo works a lot better than the 433. BIG game for Callaghan and NSC. #EveryoneN

Me seeing that pass from Gyökeres

You have until 5 pm today!!! If you already have tickets, send it to your friends who don’t.
