Tata Martino after ATLUTD’s 17th loss of the season to Chicago:
“I can’t ignore the fact that we played a top 3-4 team and pinned them back. But you’ll say “You’re in second to last place.” That’s true. I get that. But how we competed tonight is a positive.”
After clinching its first-ever Supporters' Shield on Saturday, Nashville SC cements itself as the best team in MLS in 2026.
Breaking the MLS points record is still a possibility, too.

In the "second tier" of college sports' caste system, Miami is positioning itself for a conference move while exploring football independence and fighting against a federal bill.

Robert Lewandowski is widely considered to be the best No. 9 of his generation.
His legendary career saw spells with some of the biggest teams in Europe, where he has won countless trophies and scored more than 750 goals for club and country.
At 38 years old, Lewandowski is in the twilight of his career with MLS side Chicago Fire — and he's not certain of what's to come when he finally hangs up his boots.
"I have so many questions that I don't have the answer to yet."

A player who I honestly love to watch play. Shitty news.
Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is set to undergo surgery after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during Tuesday’s Champions League victory over Barcelona.
The 25-year-old started the game at Parc des Princes but was forced off just before the hour mark after landing awkwardly as he challenged Barcelona full-back Xavi Espart.
