MLS week 28 preview: 5 underappreciated players who could have a major effect on the playoff race

To start MLS week 28, the New England Revolution put out the worst half of sports I have ever seen, and the worst 90 minutes of soccer I’ve watched live since Brazil against Germany in 2014. Playing on Wednesday in Atlanta, they gave up four goals, two penalties, two red cards, and accumulated zero shots for a 4-0 halftime deficit, eventually falling 7-0 for the biggest single-game domination in MLS history:

Atlanta outscored the Revs 7-0, outshot them 20-0. First time in @MLS history a team's been held without a single shot. #ATLvNE

New England bombed in the worst possible way, and it’s possible we won’t see an MLS team beat another MLS team this badly for a long time.
