Revolution doubleheader recap

So I went to gillette stadium today for a doubleheader and saw my first rev game livesince i think fall of 05. It was pretty fun time. Sorry if this runs long but it was two games and fun.

So I show up and get parked a full lot away from stadium and have to work my way through a maze of fences to get to stadium from my car. They doing construction there now but still why all the fences? all they doing are enclosing lots anyway.

So I go to buy my ticket and ask for 1st couple rows. I get third row a few sections down from halfway line. great but not behind revs bench. next time i'll get behind there bench.

The 1st game was bolivia and ireland. The stands had some nice international flavor with plenty of irish and bolivian fans there. I was surprised never knew that so many bolivians lived in the US let alone in new england. The game was pretty good but only produced two goals coming a few minutes apart. it ended 1-1 and there was no scoring after 15th minute. If i had to pick i will say bolivia was the more exciting and talented team but also show some freak moments where ireland just pounded them and that was the case when goal was scored. it was fun to watch though.

Now on to the revs. I got a lot more into this. I knew every rev on the field and was only a few rows away. the previous game the only guy I knew was jamie moreno. it adds some spice to the proceedings.

In any case revs have a master start. Ralston scores a great goal on rebond in 11th and twellman gets a fantastic goal on a deflection and we are 2-0 up after 23. perfect.

Then we proceed to blow the lead in about 5 minutes when arnaud and johnson score. unbelievable and sucky. Even worse johnson scores AGAIN before half to make it 3-2. I honestly didn't really pay attentions to tatics and how both teams were playing i was more focused on just having every touch revs had be a goal. 5 goals in a half was great but sucks that we suddenly don't have defense.

2nd half starts and on a hand ball we get a penalty. fantastic. shalrie buries it and we are tied. we are at home theres no way we can lose right?

johnson scores AGAIN in 82nd and we are doomed. frigging hate that guy...did nothing for us in world cup either...blah...
on that note before his third he went down looking hurt badly in front of our goal. A bunch of drunks near me as well as kids start giving crap about faking and when he walks over to sidline he drops some f-bombs toward us fans. Very unprofessional. I admit some fans were being dicks but f-bombs to opposing fans when there kids around is very immature. I no longer like eddie johnson. Unless he scores a goal while playing for US team I will always boo him. On a side note after his "injury" and goal everytime he touched ball we booed. I also managed to yell to him twice try scoring those goals in europe. not sure if he heard me but i hope he did. hes gonna turn into a brat like donovan if hes not careful.

So revs lose and that sucks but 7 goals is awesome and revs could have tied it a number of times. our rookies thompson and christman are looking good too.

Well in anycase i had a pretty sweet day and i'll have a preview for next rev game next week.
