Twellman made big impact for Revolution in brief outing
In his first appearance of the season, in a 2-1 win over Chivas USA Sunday in Carson, Calif., Taylor Twellman showed what the Revolution offense had been missing.

Colorado hands it to struggling Houston

Revolution know it's parity time in MLS
Of the teams with the best records in Major League Soccer last season, only the Revolution (3-3-1) are off to a .500 start. MLS Cup champion Houston (0-2-4), D.C. United (2-5-0), and Chivas USA (1-3-2), the Revolution's opponent tomorrow, have struggled. Columbus (5-1-0, 15 points), which failed to qualify for the playoffs last year, leads the league ...
