Miller commits the DOGSO, doesn’t win the ball, then when White gets up Miller dives in again and doesn't get the ball on another challenge THAT WOULD’VE BEEN A PK. Basically daring the ref to swallow his whistle twice in three seconds. Incredible scenes.

📝 MLSSoccer.com: Atlanta United got a hero's return from Miggy Almirón and a debut brace from league-record signing Emmanuel Latte Lath in front of 65,520 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Ronny Deila says "I felt like I was at a rock concert!"

Initial thoughts from Nashville SC’s first match of 2025: • They’re significantly better in possession, but need to create clearer chances • Qasem looked the part in his cameo • Callaghan’s commitment to play young players is already paying off

Nashville SC showed promise in their season-opening draw with New England Revolution, but have work to do to turn possession into consistent goal-scoring chances.

Here's how PRO responded to my pool reporter question on this call. Completely understand their perspective. "From the camera angles available, the VAR did not see evidence of a clear and obvious error by the assistant referee. Therefore, a review was not recommended."

Here's the sequence leading to Sam Surridge's disallowed goal. 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 tight offside call, but a great bit of play. Great ball from Wyatt Meyer, too, who did not look like a center back playing out of position in midfield on his professional debut.

New U22 signing Ahmed Qasem is coming on for Nashville. He just recently arrived in Nashville and got his visa sometime between Thursday and today. He's had at most one training session with his new club.

Unless my math is wildly off, Matt Corcoran is the youngest player ever to start a Nashville SC match at 19 years, 5 days old. 📸 @cmoorestoryteller.bsky.social

Several curveballs tonight. SuperDraft pick Wyatt Meyer is starting after signing on Friday, alongside 18-year-old Matt Corcoran in midfield. Huntsville midfielder Ethan O'Brien on the bench, along with new U22 Initiative signing Ahmed Qasem, who apparently has his visa now.

Nashville SC have signed defender/midfielder Wyatt Meyer to a contract for 2025, with options through 2028. Meyer, 24, was the 11th overall pick in the 2024 SuperDraft and has been a standout in preseason. Good depth in multiple positions. #EveryoneN
