Jun 25, 2025; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Nashville SC forward Sam Surridge (9) celebrates after scoring during the first half against the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images Surging Nashville SC and struggling D.C. United will get to know each other well, as they’ll meet twice in a span of 12 days.
First up is an MLS match Saturday as Nashville (10-4-5, 35 points) travels to Washington to face D.C. (4-9-6, 18 points). Part 2 comes on July 9, when Nashville hosts D.C. in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals.
Saturday’s meeting finds the teams going in opposite directions. While Nashville has played a franchise-record 12 straight all-competition matches without a loss, D.C. has won just one of its last eight MLS contests.
Nashville shouldn’t get too comfortable, however. D.C. has risen against some of the league’s toughest opponents.
Its last win came on May 31 at formidable FC Cincinnati, 2-1. In addition, when Nashville hosted D.C. on May 17, the teams played to a scoreless draw.
Another factor that could work in the hosts’ favor is that it is well-rested, having last played on June 14, a 2-0 loss at Real Salt Lake.
Meanwhile, Nashville is coming off a hard-fought 3-2 victory Wednesday at the New England Revolution.
Sam Surridge tallied a hat trick to take over the league lead in goals with 15 and provide more evidence that he deserved a spot on the MLS All-Star team roster.
“We don’t really get into that,” Nashville coach B.J. Callaghan said of Surridge’s snub. “I’m just happy he keeps scoring.”
Surridge, who has scored nine goals in his last five matches, combines with 2022 MLS MVP Hany Mukhtar (eight goals, eight assists) to propel a potent attack.
Meanwhile, D.C. has surrendered an Eastern Conference high of 38 goals as its back line has been riddled by injuries.
Also sidelined has been top scorer Christian Benteke (six goals). Since he suffered an ankle injury on May 14, D.C. has scored just four goals in its last seven MLS matches.
“This group is not gonna back down from this challenge,” D.C. coach Troy Lesesne said. “We’re gonna continue to face it head on and through good times and through difficult times we’re gonna stick together and keep fighting.”

Drama na Vueltě. Propalestinští aktivisté zavinili pád Itala, další etapa může být neméně třaskavá
Petilli po pádu nejevil známky vážnějšího zranění a etapu dokončil se ztrátou přes 18 minut na 121. místě.Úterní incident není prvním případem narušení závodu propalestinskými protesty. Již v páté etapě ve Figueres došlo k blokaci týmu Israel-Premier Tech při týmové časovce. Čtveřice aktivistů kampaně „Sport bez genocidy“ tehdy zastavila průjezd a organizátoři si vyžádali zásah bezpečnostních složek.Protesty doprovázely i šestou etapu v Olotu, kde se aktivisté pokusili překazit start. Policie však rychlým zásahem nedovolila větší vyostření situace.Příznivci kampaně organizují na sociálních sítích hromadné „nálety“ na třetí Grand Tour tohoto roku. „Palestinských vlajek je v záběrech víc než těch španělských,“ píše v nadšení jeden z komentujících. Aktivistům na Vueltě vadí účast týmu Israel - Premier Tech, který je v očích skupiny považován za vyslance izraelského režimu.Tým přitom není finančně navázán na izraelské státní struktury, složení závodníků je mezinárodní. Majitelem je ale kanadsko-izraelský podnikatel Sylvan Adams, jenž je přítelem izraelského premiéra Benjamina Netanjahua.Organizátoři Vuelty varovali před […]

Trapas s čelenkou a ostrý kartáč během zápasu. Poslední Američan na US Open zažil krutý konec
Během kariéry vyhrál Fritz na okruhu ATP deset titulů, letos z toho získal dva, jenže málo platné, vstupenku mezi nesmrtelné zajistí v tenisu pouze grandslamové triumfy. A na ně dál marně útočí. V konfrontaci s borci, kteří už pohár z turnaje velké čtyřky ve sbírce mají, nakonec v klíčových pasážích prohrává.Nejblíž titulu byl loni právě na US Open, kde však ve finále hladce prohrál s úřadující světovou jedničkou Jannikem Sinnerem. Letos v roli posledního Američana v pavouku mužské dvouhry nepřešel ani přes čtvrtfinále. A už během zápasu byl jeho kouč Michael Russell v televizním rozhovoru překvapivě otevřeně kritický.Foto: Adam Hunger, ČTK/APTaylor Fritz během čtvrtfinále US Open.
