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 …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
Another week, another win for Bruce Arena’s Revolution. That was a common refrain in 2021, but it’s a phrase the Revs haven’t really had occasion to say in 2022. This is only the second time all season that the Revs have won back to back matches. It comes at a good time for a New England team that is trying …
It was a busy week for the Revolution who capped off a busy week of transfers with a trip to central Florida to take on Orlando City SC. If you want a recap of the moves that New England made before the transfer deadline closed on Thursday, I wrote a whole big thing on Saturday. Both the Revs and the …
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 …
