NEW: As ICE's raids stoke fear, La Brigada De Oro has paused its Nashville SC matchday involvement. Co-founder Abel Acosta spoke about a harrowing reality.

“Our community is being terrorized right now. It’s in shambles. ... we’re being hunted. That’s how we feel.”

Game finished 1-0, by the way. 90 minutes plus stoppage, and an over played over the only goal.

Hell of a show.

Not like anybody watches soccer for the games or anything, it’s just a way to pass time between advertising blocks.

love to have NWSL's broadcast partner CBS running a whole CarMax ad during a player substitution and proceed to miss an entire goal by KC Current

absolute amateur hour

The transition between Bradley-Jones and MMA would have hardly even registered. Greater involvement might've helped avoid a Couva scenario, too. Who knows!

The greatest number 8 in MLS history, certainly since the expansion era kicked off.

A centerpiece on four different MLS Cup winners - very few players of any position can claim that status, but nobody else did it at three different clubs.

BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.

Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).

One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏

I didn't watch any of it except the red card clips, but I've got a sneaking suspicion this was one of the handful of worst games in MLS history.

Congratulations to Luis Barraza and Aaron Herrera on finishing the 2025 DC United season one week early.
Aaron Herrera and Luis Barraza sent off in lowly DCU’s second to last game of the season. They’ll be suspended for the finale.

A second yellow, like a real defender. Committing to the bit.

I don’t know if Miami is even built to push a first round to three games. Absolutely cooked if there’s any defensive pressure or distance to be covered.

He was high on the “just missed” with Nathan Ordaz. Either would’ve been interchangeable with Donkor for me.
