I believe Austin FC is the first team to ever beat all 3 Cascadia teams in one season on the road! Crazy for a team that has yet to win an away match outside the Northwest!

Was reflecting on what I was doing 25 years ago today in my journal. Since we didn't have "social media" as it exists today, I was probably refreshing this Metafilter thread, an interesting time capsule that I see has been mentioned in a lot of other places today. www.metafilter.com/10034/Plane-...

Somewhat flat performance by Austin FC. Limited San Jose’s chances. Still could have won if not for a VAR call. 1-1 is probably a fair result. Sorry for those who have to rewatch it though.

Does Messi have 4 goals or an own goal by Montreal’s Petrasso on the deflection of his free kick? MLS Soccer and Opta are in dispute right now.

How do we explain that FOX Sports and MLS reported Messi scored four goals and provided one assist yesterday, while outlets like SofaScore and even FotMob recorded only three goals and one assist?
The dispute came from Messi's first free kick, which seemed to touch Petrasso, a Montréal player, leading some outlets to classify it as a deflection. However, it wasn't a heavy deflection and should be credited to Messi as his goal.
Thanks to MLS for not depriving Messi of his goal.

Sofascore, powered by Opta, gives Messi 3 goals

For everyone asking about the 4th goal, at the moment our official stat provider (Opta) are crediting Inter Miami's second goal as an own goal.
We'll let you know if anything changes on that front!

Via @benwright.bsky.social on X. No red card for Nashville’s Eddi Tagseth for a studs to the ankle challenge on Evander. Considering JoRo’s lesser challenge vs. Toluca’s Pereira was a red, seems like @proreferees.bsky.social VAR officials are being a little inconsistent.

"This is a clear red card. VAR has to call the referee to review a play like this."
Evander frustrated with the decision not to send off Eddi Tagseth for what was a really high boot to his shin.

Ben Wright @benwright • 24m
I asked PRO about the call afterwards, and... well... the answer wasn't particularly enlightening.
Aug 29, 2026
Nashville SC vs FC Cincinnati
The submitted question:
In the 79th minute, Nashville midfielder Eddi Tagseth was shown a yellow card for a foul on Evander. Replays showed his studs very high on Evander's ankle - could you explain the decision not to recommend an on-field review for a potential red card?
...
The response to the submitted question:
The VAR checked the footage and deemed the challenge was reckless and no clear and obvious error existed on the on field decision.
VAR did not recommend a review.

Evander on IG: “And the referee even said to me that his foot was not high enough”

Very solid game from Austin FC. Liked - Stu stood on his head. - E. and F. Torres both passed well in the 2nd half. - Biro has been a beast in this competition. - Alastuey and Plachy were great subs. Disliked - Not smart from JoRo. May have been soft, but why? - BV is still not there. - The ref.

Sad end to a sad season, but a very good haul for Austin FC. He carried the team on his back last season after Brandon Vazquez got injured and the other DPs underperformed. Another player who might not be a fit for the new Jim Curtin model. Hope SKC’s rehab department can get him back to 100%.
