Earthquakes 4, Revolution 0: A Supporter's View

1

You wouldn't know that New England has spent most of the season as the class of the league and San Jose has spent most of the year as the worst team in the league based on their meeting on Saturday. The revamped Earthquakes thrashed a short-handed Revs side 4-0 to serve notice that their drive for a playoff spot isn't an exercise in futility.

The Last will be First, and the First will be Last…

2
...Well, not quite, but for at least one night it looked like the Quakes were the team on their way to being Cup champions, and the Revs looked like the expansion basement-dwellers.  I had to be a little late to a friend's bachelor party in order to attend this game, which makes me a bit of [...] Click to continue reading...

Updated: MLS Allocation List

7
You all have asked, now you all shall receive. Here is an updated MLS Allocation list fresh off the trade between New England and Toronto. Now in that trade Toronto and New England switched places, the Revs moved down to Toronto and the Reds moved up and claimed Johann Smith. After that claim they moved [. Click to continue reading...

DC United Reaction - Yellow Fever in the Bong Mines

1
Could the hex be broken? Did the Fire trade in their DC United voodoo doll for a bald Matt Reis one so that they could mysteriously dominate the Revs with the same choke-hold that they've used to disable United for so long? Or does the Vdub symbol ward off the evil eye? Is Blanco a karma suck that has removed the Fire's power over us? Click to continue reading...

Revs Shook By Quakes

1

The New England Revolution lost their third straight game falling 4-0 to the last place San Jose Earthquakes Saturday night, in a game starting goalkeeper Matt Reis left due to injury.

Averaging just .75 goals per game entering the match, the Earthquakes put up their best offensive performance of the year and matched the Revs worst loss of the season.

DC United Advances to the US Open Cup Finals

2
After attending the DC United match last night against the New England Revolution I left with a sense of happiness that has not been with me after a game in a long time. United played with a quality I haven't seen since before the start of SuperLiga. Having Quaranta and Peralta back at full strength didn't hurt at all either. Click to continue reading...

DC Ousts Revs from Open Cup

1
The New England Revolution fell short in their quest to defend last year's U.S. Open Cup Championship Tuesday. Opting to rest the majority of their starters and not even bothering to bring a full bench, the Revolution fell, 3-1, to a D.C. United side that was playing their best lineup available.

The Revs fell behind just four minutes into the match after 2007 MLS Golden Boot winner Luciano Emilio headed a cross from Bryan Namoff past Revs goakeeper Doug Warren to open the scoring. Click to continue reading...

MLS Table Talk - Whither Goliath?

0
We're on the cusp of the final third of the Major League Soccer regular season--the time the teams that are going to make some post-season noise start to round into form. The question is going to be: will anybody make a bold move away from the pack to claim the Supporters' Shield definitively? Or will it be another race to the wire? Click to continue reading...

Cobi answers the call

3
After Frank Yallop resigned, I was wondering if the head coaching position at the Galaxy might be offered to Cobi Jones. It wasn't, of course, at least not directly.

Thing is, when I was talking to Cobi about becoming Ruud's assistant, back when they were introduced together as a team, there was one thing he made expressly clear. Click to continue reading...

INCOMING: Gabriel Badilla to New England?

3
The rich get richer. That's they way it might appear if this deal comes to fruition. Reports out of Costa Rica and Colombia seem to indicate that the Costa Rica national team defender has played his last game for Deportivo Saprissa and is headed north to join the Revs.

We also received this in our inbox:
Our Revolution blog has uncovered stories in the Central American press which state that 23 year old Costa Rican defender Gabriel Badilla is close to signing a 2 year deal with MLS.

MLS Dogpile - Yoink the Bald Voodoo Doll

1
Alpha Dog 1. (+3) Chicago Fire (WDDWW) The mid-season wobble seems to be firmly behind the Fire as they continue their weird hoodoo-hold over the Revs. I can just see some Chicago equipment manager yoinking the arms off a bald voodoo doll to make Reis completely whiff on that long-range Segares strike.

Reserves: Fire 3 - Revs 1

2
The Revolution Reserves fell 3-1 to the Chicago Fire Reserves this morning. After the Fire squandered some early chances, Joe Germanese put the Revs ahead in the 24th minute with a chip over the keeper after making a long run into the box. The Fire tied it up a little over ten minutes later when Mike Banner converted a penalty kick. Click to continue reading...

Chicago gain ground on New England in MLS

0
The Chicago Fire scored two late goals to overcome a one-goal deficit and beat the New England Revolution in the weekend's marquee clash in Major League Soccer. The Fire are now only one point back of the Revs, though New England still have one game in hand. A 75th minute red card to Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph seemed to turn the tide and goals from Gonzalo Segares and Wilman Conde negated an early strike from Taylor Twellman.

On Throwdowns

0
Former DC United boss Peter/Piotr Nowak, presently leading the US footie delegation in China, had a number of important phrases he would use as touchstones/talking points when talking to media during his time in DC. One of his favorites ran something along the lines of, "always ve haff to do tree tings: run, fight ant play good zoccer," essentially emphasizing a sort of holy trinity of fitness, spirit and technical/tactical quality as central tenets of his team's style.

How Much I Loathe Blanco

0
So I just watched the Revolution drop a 1 nil lead to the Chicago Fire and lose 2-1. Terrible I know, but more terrible because it had to come on the same night as Taylor Twellman's return. Twellman, in my eyes looked good in his return while netting the only goal for the Revs. When [...] Click to continue reading...
