In @MLS MD1, the @NERevolution showed a new wrinkle - the ability to operate out of tight spaces and keep the ball. This is an improvement on the '24 season, where they were middle of the pack for take-ons, and near the bottom for dispossessions... 1/2

@AJBlack247 Insights on why the portal pile-on over the past few days? Did the market shift? Did the team’s budget change? Were offers made … changed?

Come hang out! Going live AGAIN!

@TheCecilKenney Naw, still Early

@bcinterruption Reviews are making this unwatchable game worse.

Clemson goes for it on fourth and Tucker picks off the backup in the endzone!

Try as you might, you will not find dumber and worse header than what we just saw from Diego Lainez of Tigres on this San Diego goal.

@TheCecilKenney Right on. Turner promises to be a terrific shot stopper in MLS (again). Curious to see how he performs in the build up- was a weakness that he made a point of emphasis while in Europe.

Ivacic hasn’t been good as the season has progressed and maybe he isn’t the whole problem, but this is going to help the cause. Fixing the GL position early is a surprisingly good move from the #NERevs

It is very difficult for managers or players to respond to officiating questions after a loss, especially before watching the match again. Once he sees the film, he’ll likely see the player was on-side, and there were plenty of fouls and flops on both sides. Regardless, it sets a poor example that players and fans will seek to constantly scapegoat officials - especially in a match where officiating didn’t impact the result for either side.

Dean Smith doesn’t hold back in his criticism of the referees in Charlotte FCs 1-0 loss to New England Revolution.

@MLS @ColoradoRapids Was it a wall or a gate?

Under the wall and into the net! 👀 A sneaky set piece from Djordje Mihailovic equalizes for @ColoradoRapids!

@SethMan31 With a few helpers from Ghole Phraim

Fantastic performance from Aljaz Ivacic. #NERevs

The back 5 is a departure from the traditional Porter approach - respect from #nerevs for the front four of #ATLUTD

The #NERevs attack has been 'Give it Gil' - Capi has been on an island (er, a hill?) - who will be the support? They've not yet seen the truly top-end attacking talent that #ATLUTD brings - the 5 stripes are earning attacking contributions from across their side.

Notes from 90 The revs chances are much like the lines on the pitch last night - faint but present. The attack saw some moments - a few good balls from Langoni Carles and good work from Ganago (though too many shots left wanting). The downfall of this attack has been the lack of any sustained pressure. Half chances and hopeful balls arent enough to earn results. The 55’ sub looked to change the shape to a 433 at times, which struggles to manage much against a back 5. Corners were some of the best chances of the night - finding heads from Langoni and Ceballos. The back line was strong, but switched off for just a moment, allowing the sole goal of the evening. Miller’s bright night was dimmed by a missed mark. And how many times can the pbp use the word peg before we say ‘stop trying to make peg work.’ #NERevs

Even by doubling their SoT in MD6, #NERevs still sit last in @MLS (along with fellow ozempic-led attackers #HoldItDown). @MattDoyle76 called out the Revs lack of attacking movement and he's right: Poor movement --> few key passes --> few SoT --> no goals (of their own) scored from the run of play.

@AlexaKilroy Ever to excel :)

I feel like a lot of people don't know how untraditional my path was to SaaS and marketing. So let me spill... I started my career as an English teacher. Seriously. And I taught high school English, which is probably one of the most intimidating grades to teach. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving education. Transparently, I was having a hard time paying the bills as a 21 year old in a new city. I took an in-between job at an EdTech company and set myself as “open to work” on LinkedIn, trying to figure out what was next. And that’s when a recruiter called me and asked if I was interested in doing CX at a rapidly growing, subscription-based ecomm supplement brand. Roughly 90% of my job was to convince people not to cancel their subscriptions. I got so good at it that the founder of that company actually paid me cash bonuses for the volume of saves I was making. Then I got a little too good at it. Eventually, he ended up giving the team copies of Cashvertising (still one of the BEST marketing books ever), and I was given the opportunity to start writing ad copy. Then, the universe threw me a really wild opportunity. The founders of that brand were going out of the country, and at the time, they were worried that opening Ads Manager abroad would trigger an account freeze. So before they left town, they gave me crash course in media buying. Big trial by fire moment there. Over the years, I applied my love for language, psychology, photography, and videography towards growing ecomm brands. I continued building on those fundamental teaching skills — the understanding of how people think, learn, and make decisions. I’m so glad I landed here. Ecomm feels like home to me. Sending a giant hug to all of you who have been part of this crazy journey from teaching classic literature to scaling DTC brands; I’m thankful for each & every one of you!

@CalebPongratz10 Apple’s MLS coverage doesn’t show owners nearly as much as, say, an NFL broadcast. It would be a nice add to the broadcast to see which owners are in attendance (home and away).

According to sources, Investor/Operator Jonathan Kraft was present at New England Revolution’s match versus RBNY. Source confirms that following the match, Kraft met Carles Gil in the tunnel to congratulate him and encouraged the team to build on the win. #NERevs

@coreycapoccia they can use all the attack they can get- who comes off? 4132?

If I’m Porter I’d play Langoni almost as a false 9 or as a withdrawn striker, right behind Campana. Put Gressel on the RW with Ganago on the LW and I think you’d see an instant boost to this offense. #NERevs

Notes from 90 with the #NERevs 3 goals this season - OG FK, PK - none of their own from the run of play. Attack outdid their entire total of SoT for the season - came in with 5, added 6. Ganago threatened out wide, tho seemed more comfortable in and around the 18, and made the runs that were needed. Needs to finish, but looks a blade of plastic turf away from that breakthrough. Luca was far more free and created chances. He is decisive, tho at times another option - namely his own shot - might be the better choice. The athleticism of the FBs - Miller and Feingold - made an attacking difference. The defensive spine was creased too many times.  Forsberg found acres of space, and was unchallenged as the backline retreated inside their own 18. He was fantastic for RBNY. The commitment to defend from the front 4 has been admirable, but it means there is no outlet nor stretch from the 9 or wings. Sure - play it out the back, but know when to say when and don't overinvite the press. Either add more tempo or get it to safety.

Of those 31 players with as many SoT, 4 (Pec, Yeboah, Dreyer, Chicho) have more than 20 shots, nearing #NERevs total of 30 through their first four matches.

#NERevs have been off-target thus far - is today the day they find the goal?
