Jay Heaps is now the new boss of the New England Revolution (photo via Boston Globe)

It didn't take the New England Revolution that long to find a replacement for Steve Nicol. Today the club announced the hiring of former defender Jay Heaps as their next manager.

The 35-year old Heaps is just two years removed from playing for the Revolution, where he spent 11 seasons.

Congratulations to Jay Heaps, who appears to be the new Head Coach of the New England Revolution.
The former Duke University and New England Revolution standout would succeeds Steve Nicol, as reported in the Boston Globe.
Last Wednesday, Revs president Brian Bilello revealed to MLSsoccer.

UPDATE: Guys, this is real. No official confirmation from the team, but...look, you'll have to trust me. It's real.

By now I'm sure you've all read the big news. The Boston Globe reports that Jay Heaps is set to be named the next New England Revolution head coach.

As Revolution president Brian Bilello's self-imposed 7 day deadline approaches, we here at The Bent Musket wanted to take a look at a few of the "serious" names on the short list of possible candidates. With Paul Mariner re-upping his contract with Toronto FC (amazingly, Mariner re-signed almost IMMEDIATELY after meeting with the Revs) New England was left with only a few truly solid choices that made sense, followed by quite a few question marks.

Ives Galarcep writes of why Peter Vermes stands out among an elite list of top coaches in Major League Soccer this season.
While it certainly can't be argued that standout coaches Bruce Arena, Sigi Schmid and Jason Kreis didn't once again show why they are some of the best coaches in MLS, and among the best in league history, but in terms of helping a team reach new heights and helping multiple players enjoy breakout seasons, it's tough to argue with Vermes as the MLS Coach of the Year.

CARSON, Calif.-- The last time Real Salt Lake and the Galaxy competed for a trophy, it was the 2009 MLS Cup FInal and RSL took the championship. History did not repeat itself on Sunday as this time they lost to the Galaxy on Sunday in a Western Conference final filled with missed opportunities.

RSL is done for 2011, now Jason Kreis faces the tough task of protecting 11 players. (Getty Images)

Expectations were high going into 2011 for Real Salt Lake. The club was closing in on a historic CONCACAF Champions League win and everyone in the league was supporting their efforts. But injuries, suspensions and the gutting loss in the CCL final to Monterrey changed the course of the season for RSL.

A little wrong...and very wrong. (Remember, we're all about accountability to predictions here.)

Becks playoff performance in Game 2 against Red Bulls the key to LA's Cup march...

The Los Angeles Galaxy (4 to 1) was one of TSG's odds-on favorites to win the MLS Cup. They trailed however the Sounders.

By J Hutcherson - WASHINGTON, DC (Nov 7, 2011) US Soccer Players -- Here are two quotes following last night's Western Conference title game. "I thought we were okay. It wasn't our best night for sure." and... "I thought they threw an awful lot into the game, and we told our guys... when this game slows down it will favor us.

The Los Angeles Galaxy will be finishing its season at the Home Depot Center approximately two weeks from now.

The only question now is will they be ending it holding the 2011 MLS Cup trophy. The Galaxy took one more step towards answering that question in the Western Conference Final on Sunday.

The sustained rain we've had this morning for the last few hours in Torrance, just a few miles down the road from Carson's Home Depot Center, has finally let up, but rain remains in the forecast under gloomy skies, which unfortunately may limit walkups for a game that's live on ESPN at 6 p.m.

Still, this could be the game of the MLS season so far between two closely matched teams and with memories still fresh of the last time these two teams met including the post-game confrontation between David Beckham and RSL Coach Jason Kreis:

Key question: Will be RSL be short two defensive starters for the game?

Today's conference finals see a battered Real Salt Lake team visit the unbeaten at home Los Angeles Galaxy while the stalwart Houston Dynamo will have to see off the dynamic attack of Sporting Kansas City at Livestrong Park. In each of the last two years the winner of the MLS Cup has been the lowest ranked team in the playoffs.

By Sunday's end, the MLS playoff field will be narrowed down to two clubs.

No wild card teams remain in the postseason picture after the overall top seed Los Angeles Galaxy disposed of the New York Red Bulls Thursday night.

U.S. Soccer released the roster of players called up by Jurgen Klinsmann and there are some interesting choices. Both Landon Donovan and Kyle Beckerman are on the roster and are apparently expected to be in camp regardless of whether or not their team makes it to MLS Cup. Reportedly Klinsmann will be releasing that player after the match against France in order to let them return to the United States and prepare.

When a perfect game was needed, the Seattle Sounders merely put forth a great game. Saturday's first leg carried over only one element, the physicality. For the most part it was matched, but in the end Real Salt Lake advanced from the two leg aggregate series. Two goals were not enough, two goals were enough for a win and honor.

Our various writers here had a little discussion about what lineup changes we'd want to see. The thought was to make a lineup card for you that would show a Sounder at Heart preferred lineup and a Real Salt Lake likely lineup due to the injuries to Jamison Olave and Nat Borchers. With Jason Kreis not sharing the status of those two besides the decision being held until tonight their side of the card would be incomplete.

After the Saturday three-nil loss the game is merely at halftime. Leg two involves odds stacked against Seattle, but there are a few reasons for hope. While the Seattle Sounders will have to change things up tactically, changes are being forced on Real Salt Lake Coach Jason Kreis by injuries to the best center defensive pairing in MLS.

There's no good way of putting this: The Seattle Sounders are in a ridiculously deep hole right now. How deep? Since Major League Soccer went to its current playoff format in 2003, no team has ever trailed by three goals and only seven teams have trailed by two after the first leg. Heck, only eight teams have ever trailed by three goals at any point in the entire two-legged conference semifinals.

Quite possibly the worst performance that the Seattle Sounders ever occurred in the chilly, high air of Utah as Real Salt Lake netted three goals. Only Kasey Keller prevented that scoreline from being even greater. To list all of the mistakes that were made will take some time, but sadly it will happen.

Over the last few days there has been a number of reports coming from various media organizations (including us!) that has stated where technical director Gavin Wilkinson will be heading over the off season to scout for players. These locatins include: Colombia, Ghana, Togo, Europe and the less exotic locale of Los Angeles, CA.

Luis Gil is well aware of the hype. As a 17-year-old whose uncanny skill and composure on the ball has drawn the attention of such European titans as Arsenal and Real Madrid, it would be hard not to be.

The Los Angeles Galaxy won the Supporters' Shield, amassing the most points over the course of the MLS season, thus earning any and all advantages heading into the postseason.

Their reward: two cross-country trips in a four-day span for a two-legged tie against the only team in the league that can go head-to-head in a bare-knuckles payroll battle.

Union

The Union have not released updated injury information on Zac MacMath as of this morning.

Keon Daniel is listed as part of the T&T national team that underwent light training in Bermuda yesterday.

Local lad and former Union trialist Jeremiah White is working out with the Montreal Impact as they look to form a roster for their first season in MLS.

Video-David Beckham Jason Kreis Fight LA Galaxy vs Real Salt Lake Beckham Kreis Row is a post from Soccer Blogger. Follow Soccer Blogger on Twitter LA Galaxy's David Beckham and Real Salt Lake manager Jason Kreis got into a war of words when the two sides clashed in the MLS during the weekend.

Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis and LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham got into scuffle after their game Saturday night. Maybe Kreis was upset that his team lost to the Galaxy and said something derogatory to Beckham? Whatever he said, ...

Becks clash after MLS match There was finger-poking and tempers flaring aplenty between LA Galaxy star David Beckham or David as he's known to MLS commentators and Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis. The pair exchanged words as they passed each other after the final whistle, before Becks decided he wanted to take [.

I have no idea what Jason Kreis said to David Beckham but my uneducated guess is that it was something along the lines of "your Moms." Lip-readers, try to prove me wrong.

It's been a week of grinding out results for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Last Saturday, a stoppage time strike by Chad Barrett earned three points against the Columbus Crew on the road, then three days later, another last minute goal, this time from Juninho game the Galaxy a 2-1 win over visiting Monarcas Morelia that kept alive LA's hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League Tournament.

Donning a substitute's bib, Javier Morales went through the motions. Medically cleared to return to action for the first time in months, Morales paced up and down the sidelines at RFK Stadium, staying warm in case he was called upon to try and light a spark under Real Salt Lake.

Their Words I felt like they scored on every chance they had which was odd. So, I walk away thinking I've got a lot of work to do to break down that video and see where the faults lie.

Following a loss on the road to Seattle 0-3 and settling for a draw with Chivas USA despite a 2-0 halftime lead VASoccerNews asked via Twitter if Ben Olsen's job as Head Coach might be in jeopardy should United not manage to make the playoffs for the 2011 MLS Season.
For the sake of a fair debate VASocerNews enlisted the help of a guest blogger,Ryan Keefer, to argue 'for' Olsen remaining as Head Coach for the Black and Red.

WASHINGTON -- The Los Angeles Galaxy and Real Salt Lake both trotted out reserve-laden lineups Saturday night, aiming to preserve fresh legs through a congested schedule while hoping to eke out road results in the thick of the postseason hunt.

Dear leader Brucio is off to New York city and environs and will make his first match at Red Bull Arena in Harrion, NJ this weekend when the Portland Timbers make their visit. So, you're stuck with me, Joe the Curmudgeon, for a few days.
BOB BRADLEY TO COACH EGYPT NATIONAL TEAM.
At least, I think so.

The MLS playoff picture could become a little clearer this weekend. A couple teams have a chance to clinch berths while a few others could be eliminated for good. Every club is in action this weekend, which will be fun.

Real Salt Lake might be the most dangerous team in the MLS playoffs. If they keep their recent form, situations likely come about that have them as the team to beat.
The impending return of Javier Morales and the continued excellence of leaders like Beckerman, Rimando and Jamison Olave also raise the likelihood that RSL contend for the cup.

In a match-up that could wind up being an MLS Cup Final preview, Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City played a physical match that left little doubt about two things.

There isn't that much separating two of the best teams in MLS, and those two teams really don't like each other.

Happy Friday to you. Several thoughts have been floating through my head as we move into the weekend. The first is the magic number ten that several coaches have placed on getting to the playoffs. Ten points and we're in seems to be the vibe. I think I was most encouraged by the recent comments of Jason Kreis regarding Real Salt Lake's chances.
