FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Consider these next two weeks the calm before the storm.
The New England Revolution are currently in the midst of their lightest stretch of the 2016 season, off until June 15 when they’ll begin their U.S. Open Cup campaign against the Carolina RailHawks. All told they’ll have an 18-day break between games as part of the MLS-wide hiatus for Copa America.
But when mid-June arrives the games will come thick and fast. The Revs will visit Carolina (June 15), Vancouver Whitecaps FC (June 18) and D.C. United (June 22) within the first week of returning, and will play at least six games – possibly seven depending on the Open Cup – in a hectic 25-day stretch.
