The New England Revolution now have a roster of 28 since signing Bjorn Runstrom yesterday. Elsewhere in soccer, Toronto drew Santos in the CCL last night, Football at Fenway was announced, and MLS has decided to join other premier world leagues in an initiative to promote cooperation. Read about all that and a UK Boy Band wearing Revs gear in today's Musket Rounds.

I don't know why a British boy band is wearing Revs jerseys, but I won't complain. Any time someone wears a New England kit in public is cause for celebration in my opinion.

Anthony at The USA 10 Kit has some interesting and borderline-useful stats from the MLS weekend that was. The Revs feature twice.
Runstrom gives Revs another versatile option | New England Revolution
Jay Heaps talks about the versatility in attack that Runstrom will bring the squad. As I suspected before the season started, it looks like Runstrom has been in demand in Foxboro ever since he arrived for his trial.

Toronto drew Santos 1-1 last night. Chances are, that means they're out, because I can't see TFC pulling out a necessary result in Mexico. Oh yeah, and Herculez Gomez scored. AGAIN. ARE YOU WATCHING, KLINSMANN?
