FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Chris Tierney, making his 200th regular-season start in his 10th year, delivered an inspired pregame speech to his New England Revolution teammates prior to Saturday afternoon’s home opener against Minnesota United FC.
After coming away from the season’s first two games – a pair of road trips to Colorado and Dallas – with zero points, Tierney emphasized the importance of righting the ship in Foxborough, and the opportunity that stood before the Revs in front of their hometown fans.
“It was time to draw a line in the sand,” Tierney said.
