FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – “It’s probably the biggest game of the year so far.”
“We have to take the next game like a final.”
“We go into this Saturday and look at it like a first-round playoff game.”
“For us, it should be a must-win game.”
No matter how you phrase it, one thing is abundantly clear: Saturday night’s meeting between the New England Revolution (7-7-8, 29 pts.) and Philadelphia Union (8-11-3, 27 pts.) is a massive clash for both sides, as the Revs enter the weekend with a two-point lead over the Union for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
