Revolution Blow Season Opener VS Seattle

          March 8th marked the start of the new season for New England Revolution, where they took the pitch against the Seattle Sounders. Coming off their hot season last year many people expected a great game. When the starting lineups were given New England fans would realize that their two top players Jermaine Jones and Lee Nguyen would not be playing because of injuries. During the off season Jermaine Jones underwent surgery and was thought to be back in time for the  start of the season. Lee Nguyen had a minor calf injury just a week before the opener. Without these two it was going to be a hard game for the Revs to win, but fans had faith in them which would shortly be ripped away from them.

          The game started off quickly for Seattle with constant offensive attacks. Center backs for the Revs were doing a great job shutting them down. When suddenly a foul in the box committed by the Revolution would lead to a penalty shot, which would be taken and scored by former Revs player Clint Dempsey. The game slowed a bit until the 40th minute when a quick offensive break for Seattle would lead to a cross and a header goal to make the score 2-0. That would conclude the first half of the game, with the Revs heading into the locker room down by two. The game would start off slow again but just twenty minutes in Clint Dempsey would score his second goal for Seattle making the game 3-0. The game would end with New England fans losing by three, and having a rough season opener without their two top players. New England hopes to show fans what their team really looks like next Sunday against New York City FC.
