Again, Revolution can’t stop Fire
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - The frustration of the season coming to an abrupt conclusion was etched on the face of Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis Saturday night, minutes after the Chicago Fire’s 2-0 victory. (Globe Correspondent, 11/9/09)
Fire put Revolution out of playoffs
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - With much fanfare, the Chicago Fire brought in Mexican superstar Cuauhtemoc Blanco in 2007 to be the final piece of a championship puzzle. The Revolution paid the price for that last night, and it cost them their season. (Globe Correspondent, 11/8/09)
Revolution-Fire
When, where: Tonight, 8:30, at Toyota Park, Bridgeview, Ill. TV, radio: Fox Soccer, WRKO (680) (Boston Globe, 11/7/09)
Reis the Fire fighter
If it’s early November in New England, several things are certain. Leaves are blowing across lawns, pumpkins are starting to rot, the Revolution are playing with Fire in the playoffs, and Matt Reis is manning the goal. (Globe Staff, 11/7/09)
Quick end to Crew’s Cup defense
Javier Morales and Robbie Findley scored first-half goals and Real Salt Lake advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a 3-2 victory over the defending MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew last night. (Associated Press, 11/6/09)
At forward, Joseph kicked into scoring gear

After game, Fire coach Hamlett hot
FOXBOROUGH - The Revolution will take a one-goal advantage to Bridgeview, Ill., Saturday for Game 2 of their playoff series with the Fire. But Chicago coach Denis Hamlett disputed yesterday’s deciding score, a goal by Shalrie Joseph in the 75th minute. (Globe Staff, 11/2/09)
Revolution find spark against Fire
FOXBOROUGH - The Revolution’s opening playoff game was not going as hoped yesterday, the odds mounting against them after surrendering the first goal to the Chicago Fire at Gillette Stadium. Since the Revolution had produced two goals in their previous five-plus games, 489 minutes of playing time, a rally seemed unlikely. (Globe Staff, 11/2/09)
Real Salt Lake blanks Crew
SANDY, Utah - Robbie Findley scored in the 88th minute to give Real Salt Lake a 1-0 win over the defending MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew yesterday in the first game of the two-game playoff series. (Associated Press, 11/1/09)
Set pieces are key to playoff success
FOXBOROUGH - Dead balls and set pieces often make the difference in cup competitions and playoffs. If so, Cuauhtemoc Blanco could give the Chicago Fire an advantage over the Revolution when their two-game, total-goals playoff series begins today. (Globe Staff, 11/1/09)
