On Saturday, the Revs mostly fumbled their way through a 2-1 victory at Orlando City SC in their final preseason tune-up. It was a tale of 2 halves for New England. The first half was marked by poor passing accuracy, bad giveaways and subsequent heroics from Djordje Petrovic. He saved everything thrown his way, with the exception of an Ivan …
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 …
Happy new year, Revolution faithful! Yesterday we flipped the calendar to January 2023, which brings us ever closer to the beginning of the MLS season on February 25th. This year will bring a lot of new wrinkles to your MLS and Revolution media consumption. For starters, all league matches will be broadcast via Apple TV, with no local OTA coverage. …
A few weeks ago I wrote an article with the Revs’ top 5 best goals scored. I mostly did so because… well, what else was there to write about? The season had been over for New England for weeks. The team hadn’t announced any significant signings. There were some minor pieces of news, but nothing so noteworthy it required my …
A few weeks ago I wrote a piece that tried to nail down where the Revolution most needed reinforcements for the 2023 season. In short? Kind of everywhere. With particular emphasis on the spine of the team. Striker, central midfield, and centerback all, to varying degrees, need some shoring up before the new year. Centerback may have just vaulted to …
After taking a huge leap towards keeping their playoff hopes alive last week at home against NYCFC, the Revolution made an abrupt about face on the road in Harrison, NJ. New England took the lead in the second half off a well worked passing sequence finishing with Tommy McNamara scoring his 4th goal of the season. The Red Bulls wouldn’t …
The Revs played an absolutely pivotal game vs NYCFC on Sunday. With a pair of poor home performances and their position in the standings, it was a must win scenario. With their playoff chances on the line, the Revs put in a spirited 3-0 performance, winning and effectively keeping their playoff chances alive. Instead of talking about that, I want …
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 …
The Revs had a rocky start to 2022. After starting strong, earning a point at MLS Cup finalists Portland Timbers, then winning at home vs Dallas, things took a turn for the worse. From March 12th through April 23rd, the Revs lost 5 of 6 league matches. In those defeats, they allowed 13 goals for a per game average of …
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 …
