After the Revolution’s best first half in ten seasons, all was well in New England. Their 7-4-6 mark and 27 points put the club firmly above the red line in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. They were even nipping at the heels of the four squads ahead of them, primarily Crew SC over whom they had two games in hand.
However, not much has gone right for New England since then, whether home or away. A listless 0-0 draw against an entrenched Sounders FC side was followed by a gut-wrenching 3-2 stoppage-time loss to a Zlatan-less LA Galaxy, both at Gillette Stadium.
