2013 CWC Final![]() I'm stunned. I'm in disbelief. No that picture is not a mistake. We just bested what is considered the best team in Europe and the World, FC Barcelona, in the CWC Final. We friggin' won!! Unbelievable!! Jamie Smith scores a beautiful goal into the top corner and my back four plus keeper Westberg shut out the best team in the world tonight. Barcelona had 68% of the possession, but they couldn't make it pay off. Today, negative soccer won. Brilliant stuff from my Revs, absolutely beauty of a win. This is by far the biggest competition I've won in my 3 years with the Revs. The question is, now that we are technically the best club in the world, how does this affect my team, me, and the MLS? |

2014 Offseason Since we had the CWC this year, we didn't get much of a break, just the month of January really, then right into friendlies. The board offered me a new contract that will run through 2016. I accepted just because after our recent success I feel like I can take this team even further. Speaking of success, let's look at how 2013 played out for us: NACL- Champions, def. Monterrey US Cup- Lost in the final to Real Salt Lake MLS Cup- Champions, def. LA Galaxy Club World Championship- Champions, def. FC BarcelonaWow! What a year for the Revs and their fans! Definitely one to remember! We draft another 7 or so players to try and win contracts before the season kicks off. Since I am trying to cut back on the spending and really focus on making money, especially since now we can capitalize on an larger crowds due to my recent success, most of the draftees won't be cut. New England have top training facilities and all my coach training ratings are at least 3.5-4 stars. Jamie Smith improves by leaps and bounds because he played so much last season, thus I figure maybe I can create some stars from the draft instead of ready-made ones. Nothing much else in the way of transfers. Jackson Martinez left after his contract expired, I traded Zach Schilawksi for draft picks, and experienced defender Oguchi Onweyu is expected to sign for us on July 1st, so having his help at the back near the end of the season will be great. |

Congrats on the CWC win. Never could get over the hump in my save, despite trouncing Liverpool 3-0 in the semifinal. |

Thanks! Yeah, I really didn't think we'd get past Santos to be honest, let alone beating FC Barcelona in the final. Just one of those lucky games I guess. |

Well, my game is crashing again after my first NACL quarterfinal leg against Cruz Azul consistently on the same day. This happened once before in this save, and by holidaying over the crash date, the save survived. However, no such luck when I try to holiday this time. So I'm open to suggestions now, if anyone can think of how I can salvage this
