Just got this in the mail. Thanks again to everyone who voted for me! Still not sure how it happened, but so grateful to everyone who’s read my coverage over the last seven years. It’s been a joy covering Major League Soccer and Nashville SC, and I can’t wait to keep it going!

Final thoughts from @benwright after Nashville SC's 1-0 loss to San Diego FC last night. Full coverage at SixOneFiveSoccer.com.
San Diego took down Nashville in the first-ever meeting between the two clubs, as the Coyotes failed to score for the first time in 12 matches. sixonefivesoccer.com/recap-san-dieg…
FT: San Diego take down Nashville in their first-ever meeting.
Yazbek brings down Valakari in the box, penalty for San Diego. Good call. Still surprised they didn't take a closer look at what looked like a foul on Mukhtar earlier.
San Diego once again get in behind Nashville far too easily, and it's an easy finish for Lozano. A giveaway just inside San Diego's half turned into a goal in two passes. Really poor.
This is so tasty from Manu Duah. #1 pick in the SuperDraft balling out at center back for San Diego.
That was pretty ugly from both teams. Nashville look uncharacteristically vulnerable in behind, and having both center backs on yellow cards makes that even more worrying. They're progressing the ball well into the final third but San Diego are packing the box. Need adjustments.
Both Nashville center backs on yellow cards with 60+ minutes left to play. Less than ideal.
Yeah, this is pretty much the best XI at the moment.

Rodrigo De Paul is saying goodbye to Atlético de Madrid and will continue his professional career with @InterMiamiCF. We wish you the best in this new professional challenge, Rodri!
No sympathy with Inter Miami’s complaints over here. All Messi (and Alba) had to do was withdraw before *the morning of the game* so MLS could name a replacement. Instead, they denied their fellow players the opportunity - and a bonus check someone paid less might have liked.
🇵🇸🟡 BREAKING: Columbus Crew are finalizing a deal to sign forward Wessam Abou Ali from Al Ahly, per sources. Deal agreed, as @brimackay15 called. New DP, almost here. Abou Ali, 26, scored three goals at the Club World Cup.
