Great signing all around, love the team option as well.

This is a story worth following closely for anyone who cares about the game in North America. The economic incentives in USL are bizarre from pretty much any stakeholder's point of view (except one).
Get your Zero Gravity ready for this one, which is easily the can't miss game of the round.
Sources: Diego Fagundez has been training with the New England Revolution.
Fagundez, 31, was the first-ever Homegrown for the Revs, signing at 15 years old. He departed after the 2020 season, and has since played for Austin FC and LA Galaxy.
Would be a great signing for the #NERevs, much much needed added depth in attacking positions.
And, of course, a team legend due to his early breakthrough as a local kid, coming home.
Would be great to see this happen.
Maybe a rest of season contract with a decent bump in pay on an option year.
The last Swan Dive post teased some exciting news (which any early listeners already know) but we might as well share it now.

MLS is perfectly happy to take betting money from DraftKings and Polymarket, they can profit from betting all they want
Flooding coverage of MLS with betting lines, odds and over/unders pushing it on everyone to bet and bet some more
They're hypocrite and partly to blame when players join in
Hopefully Dick isn't too sore about getting beat
Surprised Mangione didn't get to take the penalty shot
Sunday in Brockton.

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.
It’s #NERevsII match day!
New England will look for their first win of the 2026 season when they welcome Toronto FC II!

St. Louis is pressing high up the field at home, spending plenty of time in the attacking third but not able to get into the penalty area and create chances enough
Pretty clear what they need to figure out
For the #NERevs, let's hope it takes a few more weeks
Revs need points away when they meet
An effective, unspectacular, away performance for San Jose to grab 3 points
Didn't press as high or as often as their two games at home but they limited Philly's chances nonetheless
Strong passing connections up their left side but mostly passed into the penalty area from the right
@jackiedigital.bsky.social was at Red Bull and gave some thoughts
www.theblazingmusket.com/usa-wins-8th...
Bruce Arena's got the Quakes on nine points through three games, with six goals scored and none allowed.
His entire starting back four and his entire starting front three all played in college. Eight of 11 starters are domestic players.
Werner delivers again, San Jose grabs 3 points on the road.
Solid away performance, San Jose look set for a good season.
And Foxboro shouldn't need to come up with the money anyway, even if they did have the 7.8 million dollars.
According to this article the town will only make 2.4 million from the WC games.
Plenty of other organizations will be making far far more.
Would think the Kraft Group and the Town of Foxboro wouldn't reach this point given that Foxboro provides licenses for events at Gillette 40-50 times a year.
FIFA and FEMA should have taken care of this months ago.
Of FIFA, FEMA, Foxboro and the Kraft Group, only Foxboro doesn't have the money.
The situation with Foxboro and it's needs for guaranteed financing for World Cup security is getting worse, not better.
Seems like the Kraft Group is unhappy with the Town, who still feel they are far from the guarantees they need to provide the license.

Some suggestions for #NERevs fans looking for a game to check out tonight

Ahead of MLS Week 3 and with the USL Championship season underway (no strike), I'm sharing my latest newsletter. Friday's edition has thoughts on a few topics and a roundup of what I made this week. jason-davis-soccer-eagle.ghost.io/shovels-in-t...
Former #NERevs DeJuan Jones and Ian Harkes have been doing well, Timo Werner will be a huge impact. Expect him to get 15+ goal contributions.
High pressure and committing numbers forward has worked at home, they need to find a way to get it done on the road in one of their two March away games.
Interested to see if San Jose can keep their strong start going away to Philly tonight.
Highly entertaining in their first two games at home, can they continue it on the road?
If San Jose finishes March with a road win and 9 points or more, they will make the playoffs.
The commentary not explaining why they are doing this seems really strange. But this is what happens when leagues run the broadcasts.
Bazini did *everything* at a high level for Tormenta, providing a physical presence at the No. 9 spot while scoring goals and bringing his teammates into the game. Really savvy pickup for OCSC.
We did a Best Soccer Show last night! @tpinzone343.bsky.social and @jtannenwald.bsky.social talked with me about MLS Week 2, the Foxboro Resistance, and USMNT roster questions. open.spotify.com/episode/5uga...
I’m calling on ICE to investigate the death of Emmanuel Damas, a Massachusetts community member who died in ICE custody after being denied timely medical care. His family, and dozens of families like his, deserve the truth about ICE's treatment of their loved ones. ICE must be held accountable.
