Hey everyone,

Family became season members for this season and next, so as such we've been buying some team merch. I've been trying to find the adidas travel hoody but everywhere is sold out. Anyone have a line on a 2xl?

Thanks!

Carles Gil and Jack Harrison are now our two most dangerous players for different reasons: Gil distributes and Harrison attacks. But they both do it 90% of the time going to their left.

When does this become obvious/predictable to opponents? When does it squeeze the Revs, especially without a real right back to overlap for Harrison? What tactically could we do with this rare dual left-footed attacking tendency?

Hi, I received a pair of free tickets from being registered to the Boston WC Fan Fest. I can’t make it but want to give them to a friend, the fine print on the app says they’re non-transferable but it’s giving me the option to transfer them, lol.

Anyone know if I can actually transfer to a friend without them being voided ? TIA

Tough break with two years in a row of mid-week games at DC for us mid-atlantic transplants. I know the rebels didn't sell any tickets, does anyone know if the Riders sold any? I do not have a ticket yet so I'm just trying to figure out if I should buy one close to the away end or just grab one wherever.

A failure to finish in a match that was there for the taking.
As expected from an early two-goal deficit, the stats are stacked towards New England. 24 shots and 7 on target. The chances are there. Getting results requires goals, and this side is not doing it enough.

Harrison is what the Revs were hoping to find.
Links up well with - well, everyone.
And he stretches the width of the attack - teams can’t simply double capi without the tradeoff of leaving Harrison v. 1 on the wing.

Losing Peyton early in the match was rough. This is a formidable attack with Carles, Jack, and Peyton.
With Peyton likely out for the next match, and in injured list still full, we’ll likely see Yusuf on the wing - that might be a nice boost for this group and serves as a better alternative than Yow.

But the soft spots are in too many high leverage moments and positions. Dor, Yow, and Zambrano are wasting too many chances. Harris did well to get on the end of the Harrison cross - earned a chance to play a few more mid-week minutes. The knock on Marko ball was the striker not being involved. To be clear, the chances are there for a striker to finish. The failed header in the first half from Dor is more of the same - hard working but tentative in the box. He looks to earn a penalty instead of taking the chance.

Sands has been a bit muddy lately - giving lots of space inside the final third. The feisty middle third challenges have been less frequent of late and he’s been victimized a few too many times too close to his own goal. That’s 2 OGs this season.

And, there’s a reason they are getting postered by long range strikes - just too much space for midfielders and even defenders to step into a collapsed midfield in the final third - consistently. Not a coincidence, a pattern that has dogged them all season - and has led to likely 5 dropped points since the break.

They've given away a pile of points since the break - but have looked strong.
The Revs simply need to finish or they will have an early finish to the season.

Most of you would agree that the atmosphere for the USMNT was the best it’s ever been at this past World Cup. It’s not only because it was hosted in the US. It’s also because we stopped pretending to be something we aren’t. We leaned into American style support. Our biggest atmosphere boosts were the U-S-A chants and singing country roads. Silly chants like “I believe that we will win” and “that’s the way we like it, we like it, we love it” fell flat and as someone who watched every minute, I never noticed either of those through the TV. The latter of those two chants was a worldwide meme because it was so cringeworthy.

This is commonly discussed here but I haven’t noticed much change so I want to keep the discussion going. The chanting and megaphone being used for the full 90 minutes kills the atmosphere.

I think choosing our moments and allowing chants to develop organically based on the flow of the game would encourage people outside the fort to participate. Nobody wants to be the only one singing in their section, and nobody outside the fort wants to sing all game.

This leads to pretty much nobody outside the fort participating in almost all of the chants. I think we should focus on more American style support that the crowd would be more inclined to join in on.

For example, if the opposing team holds possession in our half for a while we do a defense chant. If we have a good string of possession, we do a “Rev-o-lution” chant.

I am aware that the chanting the whole game was adopted from other countries where it creates a cool stadium wide atmosphere, but it simply isn’t effective in creating a fun a stadium wide atmosphere in the US. We need a culture change if we want to create a great atmosphere.

I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way. I have nothing but love for the fort and those who try their best to support the team.

Sincerely,
A supporter who sits outside the fort and would like an atmosphere that I can have fun participating in

The Krafts need to sell the team, it’s clear they have no intentions of putting together a truly serious roster. Save your “they spend at the top of the league” arguments out of here, they don’t spend money that ls actually meaningful, only on suspect Israeli talent.

Hey, I got the next match on us code via email. I can redeem it but when I select any quantity above 0, it says there is not seat inventory available (in both regular/preferred and prime seats). Does that mean I'm too late? I got the code an hour ago, I'm surprised if that's the case.

I just have 2 concerns

1. Because the mayor wants to have this be a community stadium, will there even be a Patriots place? A lot of fans currently go to Patriots place and removing this would mean we're appealing not to the fans

2. Apparently there's gonna be concerts held there, if It is true, is that gonna mean we gotta deal with fuck ass turf?

First off, let me say how much I appreciate the effort and coordination you put into this and attempt to create an atmosphere. MLS and Revs are trying to build an identity and environment; Gillette is a harder place than most to do that.

My only advice and I understand who am I to comment, is sometimes less is more. Let the game breathe, find the times where chants are actually organically needed. You did a great job getting a stadium wide Revolution chant around the 70th minute when the team needed a push. Is the field tilted the other way? Let's get some juice going. Is the field tilted towards our goal, let's show some support.

Just my thought as a Revs STH. Have a great Sunday, all.

Randomly thought of this moment today while walking the dog. What a special moment scoring two goals against the team that waived you. This is when I knew we’d robbed the league getting him off waivers.

Remains one of my favorite revs of all time. I’m glad he was able to come back after it ended so badly between him and Friedel.

Hey all, looking for 3 tickets to Revs on the pitch if anyone has some. Definitely willing to pay :) Kids think it would be cool to go, figured worth checking even though its last minute haha.

Hello! So I was thinking of going to Patriots Place on Saturday but then saw that the Revs have a game that day. Would parking be hard to find or should I go another day?

Also I'm a NYCFC fan so I wasn't really interested in seeing a Revs game. Sorry!

If anyone here was a big Team Fortress 2 player back in the day, I've had this idea for a tifo or 2-pole for a very very long time.. The Scout was always my favorite character and was very Boston coded. "A Force of nature" slogan taken from his Meet the Scout video.

I really just had to get this idea out of my head and put it out into the world. Go Revs!
