If you had told any New England Revolution fans two weeks ago that they would be coming home after a two-match road trip to LA and Dallas with three points, most of those fans would have been ecstatic. Either that, or they might have called you crazy. However, after a home win against Portland and an impressive away victory against Los Angeles, fans and team alike walked into Dallas thinking that they had a chance at another three points. And, of course, Ihemelu's header brought us crashing back down to Earth. Ugh.

Soumare eyeing return to MLS - Soccer By Ives
I don't know that the Revs would be in the market for another center-back, but Soumare is a guy that could slot into the starting lineup immediately. I can't remember where we are in allocation order, but this is still a bit intriguing if Chicago doesn't own his rights anymore.
