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 …

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 …

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 …

As I sit here trying to come up with ideas for this column, I am aware that there are 3 major Revolution talking points floating around the universe.  The first is the news that the Massachusetts State House of Representatives recently passed a measure that sure looks designed to help Robert Kraft build a Revolution soccer stadium in Everett.  If …

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 …

It’s official everybody! The New England Revolution are a quarter of the way through the MLS season.  Ok… technically we reached that point at halftime of the Revs 2-0 victory over Inter Miami CF on Saturday.  It was a win that the Revs sorely needed.  With a loss the previous week at DC United, New England wanted to begin their …

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you, dear reader, that it hasn’t exactly been a flawless month for the New England Revolution.  They crushed Pumas 3-0 at home on March 9th, and since then they’d done nothing but lose.  What’s worse?  They weren’t just losing.  They were finding new, more embarrasing ways to lose.  The Revs blew multi goal …

The 2022 season is nearly upon us, with the Revolution playing their first meaningful match next Tuesday against Cavaly AS. The off-season has been a busy one, with a few departures and some new blood arriving in the past several weeks.  It’s customary, at this time of year, to make a few measured and well researched predictions for the upcoming …

Something a bit strange happened in New England last year. The Boston area sports team with the highest win percentage wasn’t the New England Patriots (58%). Nor was it the Red Sox (57%). It isn’t even the Celtics (50%) or Bruins (59%) in the middle of their current seasons. If you haven’t figured out where I’m headed with this yet, …

If you’ve been a fan of MLS and the Revs for more than a few years, tomorrow’s Expansion Draft should feel familiar to you.  With MLS growing year over year, such drafts have become commonplace.  Over the past 10 years, only 2014 and 2016 saw NO new team enter the league.  They’ve added 12 teams since the beginning of the …
