Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon and Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry are now Nashville SC owners, the MLS club’s principal owner John Ingram announced on Tuesday, five days before Nashville’s Geodis Park opens as the largest soccer stadium in the U.S.
Since the Columbus Crew opened the first soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. in 1999, Major League Soccer teams have waged an arms race for the best soccer stadium in the country. The new Nashville soccer stadium debuting on Sunday, May 1, 2022 — named GEODIS Park — will become the largest soccer stadium in the U.S.
United States men's national team defender Sergiño Dest is the latest member of the squad to go down with an injury that will put his summer availability for the team in question.
The standout 21-year-old came away with a hamstring injury Sunday while playing for his club team, Barcelona, in a 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano. Dest left the game at halftime.
Injury update!
Si bien Javier Hernández no anotó este fin de semana, la cuota goleadora de futbolistas mexicanos no estuvo ausente en la MLS.
A cargo de los festejos esta vez estuvo Ronaldo Cisneros, quien anotó su primer gol con el jersey del Atlanta United.
La conquista estuvo lejos de ser una oda a la belleza – vino después después de un par de rebotes – pero sirvió para que Atlanta se pusiera en ventaja en su visita al Inter Miami.
After six weeks out with a knee injury that forced him to miss the USMNT's last window of World Cup qualifying, Brenden Aaronson returned to the pitch with RB Salzburg on Sunday and converted a penalty while his club secured a ninth straight Austrian Bundesliga title with four matches remaining.
Aaronson hadn't played since going the distance in Salzburg's Austrian Cup semifinal win over Wolfsberger on March 16, but he returned to the starting lineup against Austria Wien and lasted 64 minutes.
Rising USWNT star Catarina Macario continued what's arguably been the finest season ever by an American abroad by scoring twice in Lyon's 3-2 first leg Champions League semifinal victory over French rival PSG at Groupama Stadium on Sunday.
Things started poorly for the home side when PSG's Marie-Antoinette Katoto diced Wendie Renard in the area before beating Christiane Endler at her near post in the sixth-minute.
With Chelsea going through the motions until the FA Cup final and West Ham fully focused on Thursday's Europa League semifinal against Eintracht Frankfurt, the two clubs combined to play 85 minutes of entirely forgettable Premier League football on Sunday.
The first 45 minutes went down like this:
HT: Chelsea () 0-0 () West Ham

The Colorado Rapids are set to acquire forward Gyasi Zardes from the Columbus Crew, multiple outlets reported Friday, with the deal awaiting MLS approval.
The Crew are expected to receive $300,000 in general allocation money in the deal, with the possibility that Zardes is available foe the Rapids in their home game Saturday against Charlotte FC. There could be more financial return in the deal if Zardes meets performance incentives.
JUST IN: The Colorado Rapids are set to announce a blockbuster move.
Gerardo Martino announced the Mexican squad facing Guatemala in a friendly game this Wednesday, April 27. Since the match is not during a FIFA international break, the roster is heavily reliant on Liga MX but also packs a couple of surprises. The most interesting of all? The inclusion of 18-year-old and Real Sociedad B defender Jonathan Gómez, who last December made his debut in the USMNT.
The United States men’s national team announced it will play a friendly against Morocco in June as preparation for the 2022 World Cup. Cincinnati, Ohio, will host the friendly at FC Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium.
We're coming back, Cincy!
