The New England Revolution are still playing, even with the World Cup on. Tonight at 7 PM they kick off their U.S. Open Cup campaign against USL Pro side Richmond Kickers, a difficult opponent currently occupying second place in the lower division, two spots ahead of the Revs' affiliate, the Rochester Rhinos.
For more info, take a look at our preview with Ben Bromley.
Head coach Jay Heaps has shuffled the lineup sufficiently in an effort to get a few guys more minutes and a few other guys some rest time. Knighton, McCarthy, Smith, and Caldwell are getting run out tonight, and rookie Steve Neumann is making his first competitive start for the Revs.
The match will stream in the above video, and you can follow along in our live thread below!
