1.) First place in the MLS Power Rankings, first place in the Supporters’ Shield race, New England is the team to beat out of the whole of MLS. They’ve won four straight prior to the 0-0 draw against Nashville, but outside of Miami, the score lines have been close. What’s gotten New England just over the line in the last few matches?
A variety of things, but mostly just determination and constant pressure on offense and solid defense in the back. I am not thrilled that the Revs have won 9 of their 11 games by a single goal because it means they’re either not scoring a late insurance goal or giving one up late at times.
