Just one year ago, Revs fans were mourning yet another wasted opportunity. After putting together the best regular season in league history, New England made an early exit from the playoffs. Then fans had to watch NYCFC, the team that eliminated the Revolution in penalties, cruise past a Covid-weakened Philadelphia Union on their way to becoming MLS Cup champions. It …
The air is crisp. The leaves are changing. The smell of pumpkin spice emanates from every open cafe window. It must be that special time of year when an out-of-the-playoffs-Revs team travel to Chicago to play a meaningless match against an also-eliminated-Chicago Fire team. Breathe it in. It is somewhat sad that there will be no Revolution matches to watch …
The summer transfer window just closed and my family are out of town, so it seems like the perfect time for a bonus article! The Revs were active in the summer window, and it continues a year of change for Bruce Arena’s team. The biggest moves of the window, of course, were the transfer of striker Adam Buksa to Ligue …
As I sit here trying to come up with ideas for this column, I am aware that there are 3 major Revolution talking points floating around the universe. The first is the news that the Massachusetts State House of Representatives recently passed a measure that sure looks designed to help Robert Kraft build a Revolution soccer stadium in Everett. If …
At the start of their match vs FC Cincinnati last night, the Revs entered the second half of the MLS regular season. New England’s 18th match of the season would finish as an entertaining, if frustrating, 2-2 home draw. The Revs took two separate leads with goals from Dylan Borrero and Gustavo Bou. Unfortunately a Kessler own goal and a …
For many New England soccer fans, the international break represents a an opportunity to focus their attention on their national teams of choice. They get to watch their favorite players on a larger stage, with higher stakes. Revs fans got to watch Matt Turner, Tajon Buchanan, and Adam Buksa play for their respective nations. For others, the reduced number of …
The New England Revolution played 2 matches this past week. One as a part of the recently returned US Open Cup and another in league play. The former certainly went better, as the Revs cruised to a 5-1 win at home over FC Cincinnati. Designated players Carles Gil and Adam Buksa would account for all 5 goals (with Gil earning …
After brief respite last week, the Revs lost again. Worse still, it was another loss to a team at the bottom of the table. DC United were on a 4 game losing streak, heading into the week. Their performances had been so bad that they had just fired their head coach. None of that would sreeem to matter to the …
I’m sure I don’t need to tell you, dear reader, that it hasn’t exactly been a flawless month for the New England Revolution. They crushed Pumas 3-0 at home on March 9th, and since then they’d done nothing but lose. What’s worse? They weren’t just losing. They were finding new, more embarrasing ways to lose. The Revs blew multi goal …
New England continued their poor run of form over the weekend, losing their 4th match in a row. A stretch of 3 big losses in a single week defined this team’s March, and they had hoped to right the ship in April. Those three back to back losses in March preceded a break in the schedule to allow for CONCACAF …
