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 …
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 …
For many New England soccer fans, the international break represents a an opportunity to focus their attention on their national teams of choice. They get to watch their favorite players on a larger stage, with higher stakes. Revs fans got to watch Matt Turner, Tajon Buchanan, and Adam Buksa play for their respective nations. For others, the reduced number of …
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 …
Just days after bowing out of the US Open Cup at the hands of NYCFC, the Revolution were back in action, taking on rivals Philadelphia Union. Most of the starters got the night off on Wednesday against New York, but were back in full force on the weekend. Well, nearly full force. Adam Buksa was released early to join Poland …
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 …
It happened! The Revs played a game! And we got to watch it! At the rate things were going, I wasn’t sure that was going to be the case. The result was a 2-2 draw on the road for New England’s first return to MLS action since November. The Revs took a first half lead thanks to a Brandon Bye …
The 2022 regular season is nearly upon us. It feels like just a few weeks ago the Revs lifted their first ever league trophy, in the form of the Supporters Shield. Actually that basically was just a few weeks ago. This offseason has been a short one, with Covid pushing the regular season back in 2021 and the world cup …
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, …
