This game has gone turbo bozo and it rules.
@Titans Bastard must be very wasted right now even if he is stone sober.

Hey, the Foxboro Revolutions are playing again!
- Thread starter The Gray Eagle
- Start date
I told someone over text they were just going route 1 and they did it again. Good scouting by NYC to know he wouldn't stay home on the 3rd one.
That’s probably the wrong reaction given the season overall, but this was a dud of a gameplan for sure.
It’s a USMNT meme…. Joking….
Revs came out flat, that early goal was inexcusable. Played well, but no midfield most of the game. Letting it go to PKs is the same as letting it go to a coinflip
God that's devastating. What an absolutely braindead yellow for Castellanos to take in that spot, too.
This sucks. What a comedown after the late equalizer.
There’s a lot to be happy with about this season and the direction of the club, but this sucks.
Go Philly.

Can't believe I'm agreeing. At least Castellanos won't take part. What a pointless second yellow.
I mean, we’re talking about a team co-owned by the Yankees and the royal family of Abu Dhabi.
Hard to top that.
And strong agree on Castellanos.
Mornings like this make the European standard of a balanced schedule and a regular season champion seem far more appealing.
How about a playoff mini-league? Seed each conference 1-5, then play a single-game round robin on each side, all games at the home of each matchup’s higher seed. (So the Supporters’ Shield winners would play all matches at home.) Two group winners meet in MLS Cup at the home of the team with more regular season points.
Here's an amazing stat now that both New England and Colorado have been eliminated: in the last ten seasons including this one, a #1 seed has made it to MLS Cup only once (Toronto, 2017).
There are two #1 seeds every season (one East, one West). 19 of them failed to even make it to MLS Cup.

There's nothing official, but there's been some reporting that league may start earlier in February in 2023 when they have to schedule around the mid-season break for the expanded Leagues Cup.
I find it surprising that the No. 1 seed didn't advance all those years when they played two legs.
I think I'd like them to go back to two legs, but maybe the top seed gets two home games instead of a home and an away. Makes the race for the top spot mean more.

I’ve been banging this drum on SoSH for years now and so apologies if I repeat myself, but Liga MX Apertura Liguilla has a great format and it operates on the same timeframe as the MLS Cup finals, commencing after the last fall international break and concluding the second weekend of December. Liga MX tweaked the format this year with a single elimination “reclassification” round for teams that did not qualify directly to the quarterfinal, but from the quarterfinal on the format is as follows:
- Team with more goals on aggregate after two matches will advance.
- No away goals rule is applied in neither round, if the two teams are tied on aggregate, the higher seeded team advances.
- In the final, if the two teams are tied after both legs, the match goes to extra time and, if necessary, a shoot-out.
I threw this out in the MLS thread; I think a Page system could work. My idea would be something like this:
Matchday 1, weekend: 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 (elimination game, winners advance)
Matchday 2, weekend: 1 v 2 (seeding game, winner direct to final) and (3/6) v (4/5) (elimination game, winner to semifinal)
Matchday 3, midweek: 1/2 loser vs 3645 winner, elimination game with winner advancing to final
Matchday 4, weekend: Conference final
An annual rite of passage: the stadium tease.

In addition to the Supporters’ Shield and league record for points. Remarkable season for the Revs.
Goff reports Sebastian Lletget is heading back to New England (the club who discovered him, don’t you know?) for non-player trade assets in return.

Goff later said that it wasn't finalized but that there were serious negotiations happening. I'm intrigued.
It's hard to know whether Lletget would come in as an upgrade for Tommy Mac, or if there's a larger system switch with Tajon and possibly others leaving. Buksa would be the key domino here, because his departure may well lead to a switch away from a two-forward formation. In any case, 2021 hasn't been Lletget's best year by any stretch but maybe Bruce can rejuvenate him.
Hmm....
Omar is well past his prime and has to be veteran depth. He might even be fourth on the depth chart this year, behind Bell.

I saw a report that the Revs were in for Kellyn Acosta, but decided to pass on the Rapids asking price. And also this today:

Acosta not seeming enthused about continuing his MLS career, so probably the right move to pass on that trade.

I’m not surprised that a generic MLS team would rather have some Garber tokens than actual cash from a foreign club, but I am surprised that a Kroenke-owned team opted for the allocation money.
Noel Buck '05 signs an MLS deal. I'm sure it's likely he'll spend most or all of next season with the second team in MLS Next Pro, but he's one of a couple of kids in the Revs academy whose names have a bit of buzz right now.

An Arlington product. I interviewed him last year, seemed like a really mature kid.
Same hometown (Arlington) and club team (Boston Bolts) as Miles Robinson. New England doesn’t have enough talent to be a homegrown powerhouse like FCD, but it’s imperative to make sure talents like Robinson or Buck don’t slip through the cracks.
The deal is done and Turner stays through the end Champions League. Now I’m going to go outside and take a long walk.

A three-year contract for a 32-year-old striker clearly on the downside of his career? In Bruce we trust, but I’m questioning my faith.

At least we know he can play in Bruce’s 4-1-2-1-2
Another ghost from USMNT sides past, Juan Agudelo, has joined the club for training.

It's hard to believe that we are less than one week away from the first competitive game of 2022. The Revs are hosting both legs of the CCL first round matchup against Cavaly AS because CONCACAF is not currently allowing CONCACAF games to take place in Haiti due to security concerns.
Assuming the Revs and Pumas advance, the second round will be tough. Two midweek games sandwiched between the 1st and 2nd league games of the season and the 2nd and 3rd midweek games of the season. Form and fitness will, as always for MLS clubs, be a huge issue in the early rounds of this competition.

Jozy is official. In the off-chance he stays healthy and in form, he'll be one hell of a pickup. If he's injured, we have some pretty good alternatives (though there's the opportunity cost of his salary cap hit to consider). Fingers crossed.
The Revs have advanced to the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. Tough break for Cavaly.

Altidore ? Is he still alive ? So, we will lose Turner and get Altidore ? Not sure what the Revs are doing. I get making money on a sale, but Altidore is in his twilight years, no ?
I'll miss seeing Turner. I'll miss seeing Altidore screw things up for his own (not Revs) team.
The Revs are getting Altidore at a much cheaper price than what Toronto has been paying for him. The team already has Bou and Buksa, so Altidore might even be coming off the bench, although he's also an insurance policy given the possibility that Buksa is sold this summer.
It's all about Jozy's health. If he's healthy, he'll be an asset.
