Hey, the Foxboro Revolutions are playing again!
- Thread starter The Gray Eagle
- Start date
In case anyone is feeling nostalgic, Sam Stejskal wrote a "soccer: sport of the future!" article in The Athletic. Straight out of 1978.
And it's perfect weather for a match in the Pacific Northwest. Which is to say it's cold and raining.
I just got a ticket to see the match next Wednesday against Pumas; found one for pretty much nothing on StubHub and want to see some Liga MX. Going solo if anyone else is going and wants to meet up. I'm assuming they don't really care where you sit / check tickets when there's probably going to be like a few dozen people there on a 30 degree Wednesday night in March.
Not sure what my plans are, but you can ask me any questions about Revs games at Gillette in this thread or via PM. I think there are a few other regulars here.
Team Ops (Kraft’s security firm) don’t care about whose seats you’re in, as long as you’re not causing trouble. No one is checking tickets once you’re past the gate. One of my favorite things to do at a sparsely attended weeknight game is to sit directly beneath the broadcast booth in section 132 and listen to the home announcers call the game. I’ve done this the last two times I’ve been by myself.
If you can’t snag a tailgate invite, the supporters groups in lot 4C are usually pretty friendly. I’m probably just going to go straight into the match though, unless the forecast improves.
Got a little tight at the end, but it was clear who was the better team. Really need to get Bou and/or Buksa going.
Trying to be rational about last night because it was such a shit show on so many levels (squad rotation, weather), but god I'm still pissed off. What a squander.
that's quite the choke. tbh, new england shoudl've had at least one more goal when they played in foxboro.
The Revs have signed Matt Turner's replacement, a young keeper from Serbia.
Now let's win some freaking games.

Absolute catastrophe. Weakened lineup because of injuries and suspension to Buksa, but good God. And this is not getting better when Turner and Buksa leave in the summer.
Revs sign 20 year old Colombian MF Dylan Borrero from Brazilian side Athletico Mineiro

Bruce likens him a bit to Tajon.

Has an MLS player ever been bought out in two consecutive seasons? Omar us on pace to be the first.
The worst part is he's not even ball watching, he knows what to do, he checks the guy, he just moves like a wounded giraffe.
Omar Gonzalez should be arrested at half time
EDIT: looks like McNamara tried to pass off his man to Omar, who was already marking someone else, but still not a great defending by him.

Buksa is saving the season; he’s scored in 7 straight matches. Bye is crazy good at those low crosses, which I think Buksa might actually prefer despite his height advantage.

3.69 to 0.72 in xG, what a disaster
So frustrating, but I'm actually a little encouraged by how dominant they were. If Buksa plays he might have had a hat trick.
I went last nigh, first game in probably 8-9 years. Philly had a couple of 1/2 chances early and looked the better team the first 5-10 coming out of the half, but otherwise NE was the better team. Should have finished a couple and put the game to bed early- Bou in particular.
the ease with which Philly scored their goal right after the Revs’ was pretty humorous.
If I didn’t look the standings up, I wouldn’t have thought Philly was that good.
I liked the Icelandic dude- he had a strong first half.

Not sure best place to ask, but I'm going down on Wednesday night - taking my son and some friends for his birthday. What's the best place to park? Looks like stadium parking is free for Revs games. I'll be coming in from the north using route 1 south.
I haven't been following much the past few weeks, and this was the last I heard of Buksa.
I tuned in last night to find out he was sold last week.
I realize getting $10 million for him is good business and he was going to leave sooner or later, but he is a huge loss to try to deal with in the middle of the season, and I hope they can get a replacement in ASAP.
Sleepy draw last night, nothing much doing in the final third. Really think Borreo is going to be great for us.
Also just watched a Turner career retrospective on the Revs YouTube channel. Gonna miss that guy.

These two points are obviously linked. Jozy Altidore isn't cutting it at all; I forget that he's even on the field. I'm also worried about Gustavo Bou potentially declining, but haven't jumped to that conclusion yet.
On the other hand, the Revs may have found a more than serviceable Matt Turner replacement in Djordje Petrović.
