A View From The Fort By Jim Dow

Eleven matches into the Jay Heaps era and the New England Revolution lie fifth out of ten in the Eastern Conference of MLS and overall are tenth out of nineteen teams with a record of four wins and six losses and a draw for 13 points.

Last season, 2011, according to all concerned a disaster, after eleven games played they lay fourteenth overall with three wins, four losses and four draws for 13 points. By season’s end they had managed to win only two more matches and tie eight, for a total of five wins and twelve draws at 27 points, next to last in the league. Thus they had gained almost half their points before the campaign was one-third done and then, blotto, whooooosh and flusssssh, the season went down the toilet.

Visitantes Mereciam Outro Resultado

Posted by tonybiscaia on May 7, 2012

By Walter Silva

Não foi uma grande partida de futebol, foi sim um jogo mais de luta pelos três pontos em disputa, venceu a equipa mais adulta, a equipa que tem mais tempo de trabalho, que tem um treinador que já está ao service do Real Salt Lake á quatro temporadas.

Mas tambem tiveram no árbitro da partida um bom aliado, cometeu vários erros e todos a favoreceram a equipa da casa, o árbitro David Gantar esteve mesmo mal, principalmento nos minutos finais do encontro.

Jogar Só 30 Minutos Não Dá

Posted by tonybiscaia on May 1, 2012

Foi o que oconteçeu neste jogo, o Revolution só consegui jogar a ultima meia hora, muito pouco para uma equipa chegar á vitória.

Começou melhor a equipa da casa, que chegou ao golo eram decorridos apenas 7 minutos de jogo, Connor Lade meteu a bola para a area do Revolution, com o veterano frances Tierry Henry a rematar a contar.

Boa exibição dos visitantes

Posted by tonybiscaia on April 3, 2012

By Walter Silva

Foi sem dúvida uma agradavél supresa esta exibição do NE Revolution, frente a uma equipa recheada de grandes nomes, como David Beckman, Robbie Keane e companhia, era de esperar mais da equipa que ostenta o titulo da epoca anterior.

Na equipa do Revolution houve apenas uma alteração no onze que defrontou o Portland, foi a saida de Balke Brettschneider e a entrada de Stephen McCarthy para çentro da defesa , e com Shalrie Joseph a subir para o meio campo, e com a equipa a jogar num classico 4x4x2, com Ryan Guy a ser o segundo ponta de lança.

Mas o segredo da boa exibição voltou a ser, quanto a nós, foi ter marcado çedo, tal como aconteçeu no passado fim de semana frente ao Portlant Timbers.

Marcar Cedo Foi o Segredo

Posted by tonybiscaia on March 27, 2012

By Walter Silva
Na estreia em casa frente aos seus adeptos, o Revolution rubricou uma boa exibição, e o segredo foi marcar muito çedo. E foi logo no primeiro minuto de jogo que a equipa da casa chegou ao golo, boa jogada pelo lada esquerdo como atacava o Revolution, com Lee Nguyen a meter em Chris Tierny, com este a cruzar con conta peso e medida e o ponta de lança Saer Sene a saltar mais alto do que toda a defensiva contrária para cabeçear para o fundo da baliza á guarda de Troy Perkins.

We May Have Gotten What We Paid For, Or Did We? Plus an Interview with Fernando Cardenas

A VIEW FROM THE FORT by Jim Dow

Back in the day, when there were only six teams in the National Hockey League and the Boston Bruins were run by an amiable but ineffectual bunch every new season of despair brought forth some fresh, cut-rate prospects who had toiled in obscurity for clubs like Kamloops, Flin Flon and Marquette in the far reaches of the International or Western Hockey Leagues.

While the regulars in those days were hardly topnotch, the B’s were locked in an apparent perpetual embrace of sub-mediocrity with the New York Rangers, by early season most of the new hopers were either benched, cut loose or back in the minors, never to return.

E Podia Ter sido Pior

Posted by tonybiscaia on March 19, 2012

By Walter Silva

Muito çedo o Revolution ficou reduzido a dez jogadores, e a verdade é que foi um erro tremendo do juiz da partida, eram então decorridos 14 minutos de jogo quando o central do Revolution Stephen McCarthy foi expluso por pretensa falta que quanto a nós foi cometida pelo o ponta de lança da equipa da casa.

A partir dai o Revolution práticamento não existio, e durante quase to o jogo os comandados de Jay Heaps não criaram uma unica ocasião de golo.

Are The Best Times In Foxboro In The Rear View Mirror? plus an Interview with Jay Miller.

Posted by tonybiscaia on February 14, 2012

A VIEW FROM THE FORT: By Jim Dow

Tim Thomas may be a an object lesson for all of us to not mix sport and politics but it seems to me that Robert Kraft, at least in the eyes of the Revolution’s most ardent supporters, had what might be called a Mitt Romney moment when he recently told Marcus Kwesi O’Mard of NESN that he preferred operating a team in a league where costs are strictly controlled.

“If we were to compete, I’d rather be competing against somebody working with similar budgets, then it’s how well we manage,” said the Pats/Revs owner, an observation that when taken in the context of not buying into the daft financial circus that is the Premier League makes perfect sense but when read by Revolution supporters seems roughly akin to the Republican hopeful seeming to say that he doesn’t care about the poor.

A VIEW FROM THE FORT by Jim Dow

According to (gulp) Wikipedia metropolitan Talca, Chile, home to the newly promoted Clube Social de Deportes Rangers, has a population of just over 200,000 inhabitants of which an average of 1,760 attended the 9 home matches in the 2011 Clausura.

Metro Boston, by way of comparison, boasts some 7.6 million souls living within commuting distance of the city center and, by extension, Gillette Stadium where the bottom dwelling Revolution played 17 MLS matches to an average throng of 13,222.
