NSC Stats

Pretty solid run for Nashville here The Yotes have produced 13 more xG than their opponents over their last 5 games and almost 7 in their last 2

With the Shield race just about won, I started to peek at the next trophy up for grabs, MLS Cup Is the Supporters’ Shield cursed? And can Nashville avoid the fate of previous Shield winners to establish themselves as one of the all time greats? 👇👇👇 www.sixonefivesoccer.com/is-the-suppo...

The underlying numbers have flipped back in Nashville's favor and they're playing better than they have all season. It's driven by the spike in xG as Saad and Yazbek work into the team This is how you chase down the record

Episode 339: Joe’s Last Dance? Is live! @nscstats.bsky.social made his debut and we talked all things NSC. Review the game against Toronto Joe’s potential send off game USMNT Gold Mine prospects.

I made my debut on the mic with Pharma soccer 🎙️ Super excited to chat with the guys We discuss: 🧤Joe’s “testimonial” ⛏️Prospect rankings 🐐Hany’s GOAT status 🏟️Attendance issues? Check it out below or where you get your pods www.sixonefivesoccer.com/pharma-socce...

Nashville SC are beginning to produce consistent high-level talent through their academy pipeline. @nscstats.bsky.social and Ronan Briscoe introduce their new rating system to keep track of the top prospects in the Nashville system.

With the academy season getting started and the HCFC season coming to an end @nsc_ronan and I put together our list of the top 10 prospects in the Nashville/Huntsville system This is based on current ability, potential, and pathway to the first team www.sixonefivesoccer.com/nashville-sc...

Over the last 5 games Nashville’s xGD is at .54 per 90 This is the highest 5 game average for Nashville since weeks 2-6 It’s mainly driven by their attack reaching 2 xG per 90. Their highest average since weeks 1-5 And 3 of these games were on the road

Elias Saad on the left side averages 7.4 touches in the box per 90. Considerably more than Hany at 4.6 and Espinoza at 5.2 Nashville are finding their form through balance Read about Saad’s impact on Nashville’s balance below 👇 www.sixonefivesoccer.com/how-elias-sa...

"Opposing teams don't know how to handle Nashville. They can no longer shade to Nashville's right and let the left side beat them." @nscstats.bsky.social breaks down Elias Saad's impact on Nashville SC's attack.

I’m a little worried about this weekend. Feels like we’re getting a little too high This has been a rivalry dominated by the away team. Nashville haven’t beaten Cincinnati at home since 2021

Tonight is an interesting one for NSC. And I expect some rotation midweek after a high-intensity game in the heat on Sat. NSC has never beaten RB on the road. I’m fine with a draw tonight But on the flip side, on paper, this could get ugly. If we were at home, I could see 4-0

Hey @johnspacemuller.com @futi.live I love the Futi app but it’s missing the 3rd goal from last night Final score was 4-1 Is there a better way to report bugs?

I think Saad is a poor finisher but I don’t particularly care. He’s an elite dribbler and chance creator 5 Chances Created 1 Big Chance Created 2 Assists .43 xAssists 7/15 Duels Won 4 Fouls Drawn Hany and Sam can score the goals. Espi and Saad will create 📸 @cmoorestories

Nashville’s 3 DPs haven’t started a match together since April 7th against Club America They’ve only started 7 games together this season and Nashville is 3-3-1 in those games with the 3 ties against Miami and Club America

Teal Bunbury ‘25 vs Woobens Pacius ‘26 Just over 200min each Touches in box- Bunbury: 23 Pacius: 13 Touches- Bunbury: 154 Pacius: 81 Duels- Bunbury: 39% Pacius: 30 Dispossessed- Bunbury: 10 Pacius: 6 Pass %- Bunbury: 72% Pacius: 59% Passes completed- Bunbury: 55 Pacius: 26

Scouting report on Elias Saad and Famara Camara ahead of potentially their first start and appearance tonight I’m encouraged, but they’re far from can’t-miss signings At the end of the day, I think Nashville is better now than before www.sixonefivesoccer.com/analysis-how...

If you thought Apple TV would have a pregame show before game 1 of matchday 1 of phase 1 of Leagues Cup but not before the return to MLS after the World Cup… you would be correct

Futi app assist on this one The first photo is Hany’s passing connections this season. Nothing with Surridge The following 3 photos are the pass maps from the last 3 games The injuries are felt even harder when Hany and Sam can’t connect

This is every pass from Hany Mukhtar to Sam Surridge this season... Yes. All of them. Last season, they connected 85 times in total, and Hany created 69 touches in the box for Sam. The clear fix for the Nashville SC attack is getting the star players on the same page

Last year, the top creators in the box for Sam were Hany-69 touches in the box Lovitz-37 Najar-36 Brugman-10 This season Espinoza- 8 Yazbek- 7 Tagseth- 6 Hany- 3 Again, it speaks to the injuries, but Hany needs to pick up the slack with the others out

Genuinely unbelievable stat Hany Mukhtar has created just 3 touches in the box for Sam Surridge this year

Alright, yall got me to stop being lazy. Here are some realistic changes I’d make to the MLS Roster Rules, with my reasoning and an example at the bottom. Enjoy everyone:

That was much better. We won the xG battle comfortably Were 5 points up in the Shield standings with 2 signings incoming and we’re a little frustrated with the team Woledzi-Palacios are the best pairing in MLS. Najar is a game changer. Still want to see more from this midfield

More of the same but MTL came to play which is giving us a few openings We’re determined to play down the wings but there’s nothing there. Hany through the middle, Corcoran has space The chances we’ve created have fallen for the wrong players This game is begging for Najar

I love how much joy Max Woldezi has in his game. And I especially love how much he celebrates with his childhood friend Shak Mohammed I dont think we’ve fully grasped how INSANE that it is that they grew up in Ghana together and took very different paths to the same destination

Shak Mohammed has 2 goals this season. Both against Atlanta That’s more than Jonny Perez had in his MLS career As many as Qasem had all of last season As many as Latte Lath has this season As many as Ake Loba in his MLS career He’s only 22. Price doesn’t matter. Just produce

Nashville really struggled to play through the middle of ATL last night Which is a big issue when you have Bauer, Qasem, Lovitz and Mohammed on the wings Zero service to the stars 43 touches for Hany. 1 in the box 25 touches for Surridge. 1 in the box

Ahead of Nashville SC's return to play, @nscstats.bsky.social breaks down where the 'Yotes can improve in the second half of the season.

I wrote about how your 1st place Nashville SC can improve in the second half of the season TLDR: get healthy (but please read it’s not actually too long) www.sixonefivesoccer.com/how-can-nash...

Nashville SC’s STH announcement seems to tip their hand on the future set up of the league It looks like pods are the answer with Nashville, Atlanta, Orlando and Miami in a pod together with every other team coming to Geodis every two seasons

Last year I came up with a set of criteria that Supporters’ Shield winners need to meet. Last year NSC ultimately came up short while the Union checked 7/8 boxes I updated it for this season to see if NSC have what it takes and where they can improve www.sixonefivesoccer.com/are-nashvill...

It’s a disappointing World Cup for NSC, who only had 1 player representing their country So I wrote about who could be the next Boy in Gold to don the Stars and Stripes Idk about you guys but I’m starting to thirst for some NSC content and news www.sixonefivesoccer.com/untitled/

Pretty hilarious phase of play success spread between Germany and Paraguay Paraguay’s fuck it we ball strategy is going well

Despite winning the group I’d still like a decently strong lineup to start next week No Pulisic or anyone on a yellow but keep the momentum going Also you have the eyes of neutrals and casuals. Keep winning and keep playing attractive soccer

A quiet performance from Nashville SC attacker Ahmed Qasem tonight 2/2 passes 1 touch in the final 3rd 5 defensive contributions

8 groups have played their first matchday at the World Cup Pot 1 is only 3-5-0 With the wins coming from Germany against Curaçao and the hosts Mexico, and the United States

I was really impressed with how Malik Tillman drove the game forward and got the ball into dangerous areas last night 32/39 passes completed 8 Progressive Passes (2nd on team) 5 passes into the box (1st on team) 3 Progressive Receptions (3rd on team)

HT: I understand a lot of the hate toward Pulisic and agree with some of it but damn he comes to play for the WC Ream has had 2 moments. One at the start and one at the end of the half. We survived both This is the best I’ve seen the USMNT in a long time

Domination for the USMNT in the first half When you put the opposition under that much pressure you create mistakes and Own Goals Up 54-46 on duels too Not much more to say. Blowing them away (Viz from futi.live )

Here we go. Expected lineup with Richards starting Tillman in the midfield over Berhalter Gio, Pepi, Weah are pretty good attacking subs but of course it’s CB that will have the question marks

Kyle Martino just called Florian Wirtz the Allen Iverson of soccer This is America’s World Cup

Wow 15 year old Liam Stribling gets the start tonight with 17 year Aguilar at LW The bench is also academy full with Manny Arias, Andre Krikorian, Liam Devan and Josh Swanzy This HCFC roster has more NSC potential this year than any other Check them out during the break

Gary Smith’s first time speaking publicly since his firing His perspective on where things went wrong and some of the criticism is interesting, and he doesn’t hold back when explaining why Cadiz, Piñero, and Loba didn’t work out in Nashville. www.sixonefivesoccer.com/gary-smith-i...

Honestly feeling pretty good about the USMNT since the players getting the most criticism are The 3rd choice keeper, 6th CB and 5-6th midfielder
