FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – As the New England Revolution prepare to visit FC Dallas on Tuesday night for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final, many of the players and coaches are drawing upon valuable experience from previous championship games.
New England’s entire coaching staff and 14 current players were part of the 2014 team that reached the MLS Cup final, and although they suffered a crushing defeat to the LA Galaxy in extra time of that game, they believe that the experience of playing on the biggest stage will prove valuable on Tuesday.
“All the guys who were on that team are ready,” said Andrew Farrell, who played the full 120 minutes of that 2014 MLS Cup final.
