    On Sunday was the beginning of the MLS regular season. Since I’m back to enjoying the beautiful game, I’m back to watching my local team and my team since 1995, the New England Revolution try and make it back to the MLS Championship game. 

     I headed to Nashua, NH to a watch party at the Boston Billiards Club to join my fellow Midnight Riders in cheering the team on against the Houston Dynamo. The Midnight Riders are a club that have been the Supporters group for the Revolution since 1995.

    The first game of the season ended in a 3-3 tie. The Revolution ending up going down 3-2 late in the game and coming back in stoppage time to tie it up with a huge play by super-sub Daigo Kobayashi to head in his first goal of his New England Revolution career.

    There are major points that I’ve seen that need to be touched on as the season goes on.

   Our defense is strong but definitely needs to meld. With Gershon Koffie basically replacing Jermaine from last season and Je-Vaughn Watson adding some strength to the back line. I believe we need to see Bobby Shuttleworth and his defenders being able to read each other better. The Dynamo’s first goal before half time was purely only a defensive error and would never had happened had the defender and Bobby been communicating better. 

   Our midfield game is very strong right now and we just need to make sure that our forwards and wingers and making do with what is going on from there. We have definitely seen that anyone of our forwards can score with ease. Diego Fagundez making wonder strikes from any where on the field. Davies scrapping and fighting for the ball to the last moment. Bunbury making beautiful strikes and runs. 

    Also, it seems that Kobayashi will have gained some confidence from his goal in this first game. Maybe he will gain a better position with the team in terms of depth, which I think would be good for his game. We definitely have a strong team, which just needs to figure out the best formation for the time being. Our team at the moment is definitely more geared to attack at first and I enjoy that thoroughly, being an attacking midfielder/ forward in my playing days.

     That being said, we have our first home game on Saturday, and it will definitely be telling for the season to see if we go with a similar formation or completely switch up (as is normal with Jay Heaps) and try something completely different. I would definitely like to see Gamble and McCrary out on the field to get some playing time. Also, agreeing with most other fans, let us not start with Rowe in a CDM position, it just is not his place.

Als het aan Librio ligt was die functie er nu al. 

Inloggen met je NetID om je in te schrijven voor je vakken, tentamens, het is de student vast wel bekend. Librio heeft deze week een afspraak met de beheerders van NetID, Surfnet. Op die manier wil het een mogelijkheid scheppen voor studenten om makkelijker in te loggen.

Waar denk je dat Librio nog aan moet denken als het gaat om inloggen? Zijn er services die we over het hoofd zien?
