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 …
To pull back the curtain a bit, I usually have a decent idea of what I want to write about each week by about half-time of the Revolution match. Sometimes it changes in the second half, but often times the story-lines are starting to establish themselves by mid-game. By the end I even sometimes have a headline ready to go. …
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 …
A few weeks ago I wrote an article with the Revs’ top 5 best goals scored. I mostly did so because… well, what else was there to write about? The season had been over for New England for weeks. The team hadn’t announced any significant signings. There were some minor pieces of news, but nothing so noteworthy it required my …
At times, it is extremely difficult to secure a sports ticket in Massachusetts, especially when the best teams are among the world’s most renowned franchises. Numerous fans not only in the Bay State but all over New England want the chance to experience the likes of the Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots live and in person. In some cases, teams …
