The Revs continued their rough stretch of form this past week, settling for draws at both Atlanta United and NYCFC. As a result, they are now winless in their last 6 matches in all competitions. Those 6 matches very nearly align with the absence of winger Dylan Borrero, who has been out with a season-ending knee injury for the past …
The Revolution started the season hot. Through their first 11 matches, they held a record of 7 wins, 3 draws, and just 1 loss. That’s a 2.18ppg pace, slightly higher than the 2.15ppg pace New England set the points record in 2021. Since week 11, however, things have not gone quite as well. A loss against USL’s Pittsburgh Riverhounds in …
Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley are, kind of, the godfathers of American soccer. Both have been involved as MLS coaches on and off since the league’s inception. Both have won MLS cups, US Open Cups, and Supporters Shields. They both coached the USMNT, Arena doing so twice. They’ve been a fixture of MLS and American soccer, in general, for over …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
It was a bit of a mixed bag this week for the Revolution, who travelled to Canada for a 3 game road trip this week. It began with a 2-2 draw against a resurgent Toronto FC on Wednesday. New England rolled out a 5-man back line, hoping to limit TFC’s new trio of Italian superstars. In the end it would …
