D.C. United roasted for relishing hot dog milestone during another loss
D.C. United roasted for relishing hot dog milestone during another loss Show Caption Hide Caption Relegation in MLS? Tyler Adams thinks it should be added USMNT and Premiere League player Tyler Adams thinks relegation would make the MLS as a whole more exciting and competitive for the players and fans. Sports Seriously D.C. United may have lost another game on Saturday, but that didn't stop the team from celebrating a record-setting night (of hot dog sales) at Audi Field. Facing its biggest rival on home turf, DCU put forth a feeble effort in a 2-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls. United was down by a goal as the match neared its closing stages. With the club nearing its fourth straight MLS game without a goal, its social media account knew there probably wouldn't be an equalizer coming. So it chose to celebrate something a little different. With an announced sellout crowd in the stands, an Audi Field-record 6,182 hot dogs were sold on the evening. The milestone was too significant for DCU to ignore. Minutes later, Red Bulls substitute Mohammed Sofo scored to give his side a two-goal lead and wrap up the match. The loss saw United sink to 14th in the 15-team Eastern Conference with a record of 3W-5D-7L. 'Red Bull was better than us from the beginning through the majority of the match,' United head coach Troy Lesesne said after the game, completely skipping past the record-breaking achievement that also took place on the evening. Luckily, plenty of observers in United's comments did not ignore the meat milestone. "Just posting this speaks volumes about the apathy that exits within the club these days," one said. "Embarrassing posting this after a 2-0 loss to their closest rivals," said another. "Hang the banner!" wrote another. It's turning out to not be the greatest 2025 campaign for D.C. United. Its social media has not been exempt from the struggles.

Sofo, Forsberg, Coronel lead Red Bulls past Nashville 2-0
Mohammed Sofo scored the first goal of his career, Emil Forsberg scored his first of the season and Carlos Coronel posted a clean sheet to lead the New York Red Bulls to a 2-0 victory over Nashville SC on Saturday night. New York, the reigning Eastern Conference champions, took a 1-0 lead in the 7th minute on the goal by Sofo — a 20-year-old forward making his first start. Sofo, who scored unassisted off a rebound with a right-footed shot from the center of the box, did not play last week and played 27 minutes in one appearance last season. Forsberg found the net for the10th time in his two seasons in the league to stretch the advantage to 2-0 in the 30th minute. Omar Valencia, who was tagged with a yellow card in the 12th minute, notched his first career assist in his second career start. The 20-year-old defender played one minute in one appearance last season. Coronel finished with two saves for the Red Bulls (1-1-0) to complete the 36th shutout of his career — all but one with New York. It was his 130th start for the club. Joe Willis stopped three shots for Nashville (0-1-1), which has yet to score this season. Willis finished with his club-record 50th clean sheet in a scoreless home opener against the New England Revolution. The Red Bulls improved to 18-6-6 in home openers and upped their all-time record against Nashville to 3-0-4. New York dropped a 1-0 decision on the road to Cincinnati in its opener. The Red Bulls travel to play Atlanta United on Saturday. Nashville will host the Portland Timbers on Saturday.
