Half Time: Revolution at Chivas USA
Chivas USA 1 New England Revolution 0
This one slowed to a crawl after about the 12th minute - literally, I should add with player after player crawling around on the grass apparently injured.
To be fair, Chivas USA scored in the 10th minute through Maicon Santos and saw Paulo Nagamura and Sacha Kljestan each hit the post, but that was about it for action. And that all happened in the opening dozen minutes.
As one press box wag put it, "I could have been mowing the lawn."
Um, yes.
New England finished without a shot on goal.
