For the past few years The New England Revolution has dominated the MLS in the regular season and for most of the playoff. Yet they have no MLS Cups to show how great they truely are. Chris Albright has helped keep that backline strong providing great leadership through his time on the field. But there is no doubt this team belongs to Steve Ralston and in place of the injured Taylor Twellman is Adam Cristman with his 6 goals in 15 games. Ralston also has 6 goals to go along with his team leading 4 assist. Its almost the halfway point of the season and the revs lead the MLS and the Eastern Conference with a record of 10-4-3. Is all this enough to win a MLS Cup this year or at all for that matter? I would be suprised if they make the finals again for the 4th straight year as its never been done before in this young american league. Defender Jay Heaps has done well to keep the ball going the other way and keeping the ball out of the net. Overall this is a fantastic team with depth and i see them going far in the season but luck has been horrific as they cant finish a great season. Can this be the year they break out of a long cupless drought? Also they have advanced to the next round of the Superliga leading their group with a 2-0-1 record best in the tournament. The defending Champs Pachuca CF are back in the hunt which poses the biggest threat to New England winning their first Superliga Trophy. Atlante is scheduled to meet Revolution at home in the semi final wed. July 30th 8:00pm eastern time. Oh yea did i forget to mention they played in the semi finals for the US Open Cup Tue, August 12 against D.C. United. So this year they can come out with 3 cups which would solidify them as the best in america and show just how great they truely are.
