Now a commentator and analyst with ESPN, the Revs current top scorer is Taylor Twellman with 101 goals in his 8 seasons in New England. A whole slew of top quality players have come through the ranks over the years including, possibly, some familiar names. The Revs are tied for second most appearances in the MLS Cup Final at 5. Of course, you don’t get to to play in the championship game without having some success. In 2014 they would add another MLS Cup loss to the list. They lost all 4, including back-to-back-to-back in 2005-7. Between 20, the Revolution made the MLS Cup Final 4 times. They earned that unfortunate title because, like the Buffalo Bills, they made it to the championship game multiple times in a short period and always came away second best. So, whether you’re new to the Revs, or to MLS, or even to soccer in general, here’s what you need to know.įans of the Patriots will be dismayed to hear that the Revolution have been given the nickname “ The Bills of MLS“. I intend this article to provide you with enough information to help you hit the ground running as a new fan of the New England Revolution in 2022. It’s ok to not understand what these things are, to begin with. There are designated players, and allocation moneys, and supplemental roster spots, and discovery lists. Major League Soccer isn’t run quite like other American sports, nor is it run quite like other soccer leagues. Before I hand out your membership card, however, understand that it’s ok to have some questions about the team and the league. If you’re new to the Revolution, let me be the first to welcome you! You’ll find a complimentary slice of welcome-to-the-team cake in the back of your fridge*. It seems reasonable to conclude, however, that with an excellent 2021 season and a rebrand taking effect in 2022, there may be a few more eyeballs thrown in the direction of Robert Kraft’s other team. This isn’t to say the Revs are necessarily deserving of more attention than those other teams. This accomplishment comes in a sport famous, or perhaps infamous, for its ties. For the first time in their history, the New England Revolution won a higher percentage of their games (65%), than any of the major 4 Boston sports teams. If you haven’t figured out where I’m headed with this yet, I’ll cut to the chase. It isn’t even the Celtics (50%) or Bruins (59%) in the middle of their current seasons. The Boston area sports team with the highest win percentage wasn’t the New England Patriots (58%). , that should be allowed, but the biting, no good.Something a bit strange happened in New England last year. She’s like ‘Only I can bite you, only I can grab your nipples'," he said.Įx-Everton keeper Tim Howard said he was against biting but had no issue with nipple-twists.

No action was taken during the game but CONCACAF could take retrospective action against the culprits. US centre-half Omar Gonzalez was also bitten as he prepared to attack a corner win the 80th minute. Midway through the second half, Romero appeared to perform a nipple-twist on Altidore as the US prepared to deliver a corner and later in the game, footage shows him biting the big attacker on the shoulder. There were some flashpoints during the game after El Salvador defender Henry Romero used some rather bizarre methods to the try and throw former Sunderland striker Jozy Altidore off his game. Bruce Arena's USA side battled to a 2-0 victory over El Salvador last night in their Gold Cup quarter-final clash but it's the tactics of some of the el Salvador players that are grabbing the headlines.
