Well, it had to happen eventually. On Saturday, the New England Revolution traveled to south Florida to take on Inter Milan Miami CF and lost for the first time since March 12th. I won’t say that the loss was unexpected, but I, like many Revs fans, had gotten used to collecting points. Given their respective places in the standings, there …
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 …
Soccer fans in New England have to be pleased with their team’s performance so far this season. They sit on 20 points through the first 9 matches of 2023; the best points total in the league. They’ve made light work of their opponents this season and have earned a 6-1-2 record. That, mind you, includes an embarrassing 4 goal loss …
On Saturday, the Revolution trounced visiting CF Montreal by a scoreline of 4 to nothing. It was a good day for many players, not least of which was Giacomo Vrioni, who scored his first goal of the season in a substitute appearance. If you’re a Revs fan, it really doesn’t get much better than a 4-0 win in the famed …
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 …
Preseason training continues as scheduled for the Revs. They have just shipped off to Florida to take part in several friendly tune-up matches ahead of their season opener at Charlotte FC on February 25th. In the meantime, there’s plenty to keep us distracted. A trio of Revs players made appearances for their respective national teams. Dejuan Jones got his first …
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 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 …
