It was hot and humid Saturday night in New England as I headed to Foxboro to watch the New England Revolution take on the LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer action.
The Galaxy were without two key players, as Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez both missed the match. Donovan rested after his World Cup efforts while Gonzalez was suspended for the game. But they still had Edson Buddle up front and I was interested to see how how looked in person.

He’s a rookie–he plays for the Revolution up in New England. He has the world in his hands. Oh, and he just put up his first–probably of many–career hat-trick.
“I’m confident,” Schilawski said. “I know I can score goals. The difference is proving it to everyone else and having everyone else have confidence that you can do it against a MLS team, not a USL team or in an exhibition game.”

The New England Revolution, or the Revs as they are called, are one of the best teams in the history of MLS, but they have very few trophies to show for it. In fact, other than their SuperLiga title (2008) and one US Open Cup win (2007), their mantle is bare. They are definitely the Buffalo Bills of MLS, having lost the MLS Cup Final four times.

Recap: After a hot start, NER faded from their position of prominence to finish third in the East and tied for fourth overall. Their playoff appearance added insult to injury (literally). Hey, at least they didn’t lose in the Cup to match the Buffalo Bills for most inept franchise in consecutive championship finals. Overall, they get a C+ for ’08.
Offense: The Revs normally strong attack fell impotent this year. They scored a meager 40 goals all season and finished tenth in the league when it came to finding the net. Sure, it hurt that Twellman missed a lot of the season, but NER still couldn’t score even after he returned, so they get a C+ for the attack.
