An expression in sports starts to pop up in MLS circles in the late spring. “You’re as good as your record says you are.” With 10 weeks’ worth of MLS data, you’re going to start hearing it more and more. Essentially the concept is; if you’re winning games, it doesn’t matter how poor you look. Likewise, if you’re losing games …
To pull back the curtain a bit, I usually have a decent idea of what I want to write about each week by about half-time of the Revolution match. Sometimes it changes in the second half, but often times the story-lines are starting to establish themselves by mid-game. By the end I even sometimes have a headline ready to go. …
We’re 4 matches into the 2023 season, and with the new AppleTV imposed scheduling guidelines, that means we’re 4 weeks into the season as well! The Revs for their part have looked pretty good, securing 3 wins and 1 loss in their 4 matches this season. The most recent match was a 1-0 win vs Nashville SC. It came at …
Week two of the MLS season is done and dusted. And when that dust settled, New England found themselves atop the Eastern Conference! Or, rather, basically atop the Eastern Conference. For those wondering how Miami sits ahead of the #NERevs in the standings, here are the MLS standings tie-breakers. NE and MIA equal on wins, goal differential, and goals for …
We made it, Revs Nation! The 2023 season is officially upon us. New England began their campaign, as they so often have, on the road. This time it was in front of 69,000 people in Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte FC is MLS’s second most recent addition. Given that, the crowd and atmosphere at this game should make the league, and …
The offseason is done and dusted, and players have reported to preseason camp. Soon they’ll travel south to Florida for some tune-up matches ahead of the start of the 2023 season. That would be exciting if they weren’t almost all going to be CLOSED DOOR friendlies, unavailable for public viewing. Another wintry mix today in Foxborough, where the #NERevs enter …
A few weeks ago, the Revolution announced their end-of-year roster decisions. New England has 15 players under contract, and exercised the options of another 9. I won’t bore you by going through the whole list, player by player, here. Many fine outlets, as well as the team’s website will have that information available. However, it does present us with our …
When an MLS team crashes out of the playoff hunt, as half of teams do, mlssoccer.com’s Matt Doyle writes a ‘Post-Mortem‘. An article designed to lay bare where it all went wrong for each team. He gives a representation of the highs and lows of the season, and gives expectations for the future. It’s a great article, even if it’s …
As we trudge through the sticky heat of the dog-days of summer in New England, it’s easy to forget that the MLS season is already beginning it’s wind-down. With a winter World Cup this year (thanks Qatar), the MLS season is set to wrap up in just about 2 months. We’re entering the part of the season where every result …
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 …
