It’s in the title, folks. Every week during the MLS season, Backheeled will dive into the biggest Winners and Losers from around the league. This week, Nashville SC utterly dominated, FC Cincinnati did their thing, the Houston Dynamo’s new star looked for his footing, and more.
Winner: Nashville SC
How do you respond to getting battered? You do some battering of your own, of course.
That was the case for Nashville SC, who went from losing 3-0 to the Seattle Sounders last weekend to decimating the Chicago Fire — I assure you, reader, those italics are warranted after a 7-2 victory. Only the 1998 Los Angeles Galaxy have scored more goals in a single game than Nashville did in their bounce-back win on Saturday.
