The New England Revolution dominated FC Cincinnati on Wednesday night defeating them 5-1 but that unfortunately won’t boost New England up the Eastern Conference.
New England advanced to the Round of 16 of the U.S. Open Cup and will find out who they play next in the tournament on Thursday while they also begin preparations to play Atlanta United on Sunday in the club’s return to MLS play.
While cup play can be fun and it’s always great to lift a trophy, the tournament also provides some challenges. Players’ minutes need to be managed and it can add some wear to key players.
