Born Bostonian. I cover the #NERevs and American soccer for @bostonherald and run the Cover the Pitch substack.
My latest for @bostonherald: #NERevs fall to Montreal, extend winless run bostonherald.com/2025/07/25/las…
Another poor result for Caleb Porter. The #NERevs are historically bad. They have tied their second worst home winless streak (seven games, originally achieved in 2011) and are now winless in nine. The worst team in the league came to Gillette Stadium and left with a 3-1 win.
It's a little weird that the Gillette Stadium sign boards are still advertising the FIFA Club World Cup. #NERevs
If results hold, it will mean the #NERevs will have followed up a 9-game unbeaten run with a 9-game winless run. Caleb Porter had a full week of prep. They are at home against the worst team in the league. NE needs the HT break of the season because playoffs are fading fast.
Fun fact: Curt Onalfo coached Sealy's father at Kansas City. Scott Sealy was a terrific player. Lots of speed. #NERevs killer. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Pretty bad defending by #NERevs there. They are on their way to losing to the worst team in the league.
The worst team in the league is pushing the #NERevs. It's less than 20 minutes in...this is a perfect example of how the Revolution really struggle to adjust.
No sympathy with Inter Miami’s complaints over here. All Messi (and Alba) had to do was withdraw before *the morning of the game* so MLS could name a replacement. Instead, they denied their fellow players the opportunity - and a bonus check someone paid less might have liked.
The league never needed Messi. Messi didn’t build this. We were fine before him and will be fine after him.
If the league don’t have respect for the goat of this sport then byee bye. Watch ur league lose interest around the world & stay a small league.
Prince Owusu is Montreal's leading scorer, with 10 goals. Montreal has 10 fewer points than the #NERevs. And yet, no player on the Revs has scored 10 times this season. 10-10-10.
I think the moral of the story is to never have an #MLS All-Star Game again. But silly me, what do I know...
Buck up.
Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas on Lionel Messi's suspension when asked about contract talks: “Lionel Messi is extremely upset. I’m hopeful it doesn’t have an impact long-term. Will it have an impact on (Messi’s) perception on the league and its rules? No doubt.”
Should we resurrect the #MapleSyrupDerby? #NERevs should we force this upon Montreal tonight?
I took a look at the pros and cons of #MLS switching to a winter/European schedule. What did I miss? coverthepitch.substack.com/p/mls-flirts-w…
🚨🟡 Villarreal are closing in on Tajon Buchanan permanent deal from Inter. €9m plus 20% sell-on clause for the Canadian wing back. 🇨🇦
It has literally been 20 years since a #NERevs player scored in an #MLSAllStar game. That honor belonged to guess who — @TaylorTwellman — who was also named the game’s MVP in a 4-1 victory over Fulham. Revs officially had six All-Stars that year, a club record.
