FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It was only four months ago that the New England Revolution and D.C. United met in the Knockout Round of the 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs, but from the Revolution’s perspective, it might as well have been four decades ago.
That is to say that the Revs won’t be out for revenge on Saturday afternoon when they host D.C. in their 2016 home opener at Gillette Stadium (3 p.m.). They won’t be thinking about United’s come-from-behind victory in that playoff match, and they most definitely won’t be hung up on what could’ve been.
Instead, the Revs will be focused on the here and now; nothing else.
