Match

Nashville SC throw away a 3-goal lead

3 in front and in complete control, and it finished with DC United the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Nashville SC will enjoy reviewing.

Player ratings

A brace, and AZ Jackson takes the afternoon — 8.27

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. AZ Jackson provided it, and the 8.27 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Nashville SC count the cost of losing AZ Jackson

17 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Nelson Palacio in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nashville SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Nashville SC

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kristian Fletcher was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Tyrese Spicer gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Máximo Carrizo

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Nashville SC share the spoils with DC United

A 3‑3 draw with DC United leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout

Nashville SC keep their word to Owen Presthus

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad

Jeisson Palacios in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nashville SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ahmed Qasem

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Andy Najar falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Gio Weah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gio Weah and Nashville SC agree another 4 years.

The dugout

Jimer Fory knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Nashville SC, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Still no signature from Ahmed Qasem

6 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Nashville SC could get for him.

Boardroom

The interim tag comes off Interim Coach

Nashville SC interviewed the field and appointed the corridor: Interim Coach keeps the job he had been doing in all but title. Sometimes the safest pair of hands is the one already holding the wheel.

Match

Nashville SC sink to position 15

17 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

The dugout

Ahmed Qasem says Nashville SC went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Nashville SC

Jeisson Palacios and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Andy Najar signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andy Najar and Nashville SC agree another 2 years.

Squad

Kristian Fletcher falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

No hiding place for Victor Loturi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Victor Loturi, and the manager let it.

Market

A long bet from Nashville SC on Gio Weah

He is 18, and nobody at Nashville SC signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market

Warren Madrigal told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Warren Madrigal has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Nashville SC.
