This North American football club has a ...

Bunbury!
And not just any old Bunbury, but a

Teal Bunbury.

Moreover, his father is Alex Bunbury who played for Maritimo,
as well being a striker for
the Canadian national team.
Alex Bunbury was born in Plaisance, Guyana.

The New England Revolution FC,
which has been struggling to a tie / draw in many recent games,
finally won yesterday's game
and will have a spot in the Conference playoffs.
Doesn't sound like much,
but it is a night-and-day difference from previous seasons.

A rematch of sorts.
Earlier this month,
Yankee Stadium in New York City hosted a football game between
NYCFC and the New England Revolution.

Today, the two teams meet again, but
at the New England Revolution's home-game location,
in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Should New England, with coach Bruce Arena,
win this game,
it will get them into the Eastern Conference MLS playoffs.

... well, I admit, this is turning into a
Bruce Arena / New England Revolution thread.
With postings from a New England resident.

Anyway, contending for one last opening
for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

This report is four years old,
but important for perspective,
regarding the USA and international football/'soccer'.

The emphasis on wealthy owners of multiple team franchises
is something to reflect on.

The following article comes from the Boston Globe.

Men's football (soccer) is the focus,
and the new coach in Boston is
a veteran of building "major-league soccer" in the United States.

Are they setting themselves up for a hard fall,
or is this the beginning of laying a quality foundation?
