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 …
The air is crisp. The leaves are changing. The smell of pumpkin spice emanates from every open cafe window. It must be that special time of year when an out-of-the-playoffs-Revs team travel to Chicago to play a meaningless match against an also-eliminated-Chicago Fire team. Breathe it in. It is somewhat sad that there will be no Revolution matches to watch …
It was a brutal week for Revs fans, who watched their team collapse defensively 3 times in 8 days. It started with a 3-2 loss at home against RSL, which was followed by a 3-0 loss in Mexico against Pumas UNAM. The bad week concluded with a road game in Charlotte, with the Revs conceding another 3 and handing the …
The Revolution returned to action on Saturday, to a less than sold out crowd, for their 2022 home opener. Chances were tough to come by for both teams, though the Revs did manage to take all 3 points on the back of a Carles Gil penalty kick. New England produced slightly better numbers than Dallas in the attack, but there …
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 …
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, …
The Revolution lost their first game in well over a month, dropping a 2-0 result at New York City FC on Saturday. It was a disappointing performance to be certain, but not entirely unforeseeable. NYCFC are considered by some to be the best team in the league, and New England was missing a sizeable chunk of first choice starters. The …
On Saturday the New England Revolution faced off against MLS media darlings Atlanta United. With said media paying particularly close attention to some Josef Martinez/Gabriel Heinze drama, it is easy to gloss over the fact that the Revs did something in Atlanta that they had never done before: WIN. New England frequently looked dangerous throughout the first half, scoring the …
