FOXBORO --Its official, the New England Revolution will not be goingto the postseason. Saturday nights 2-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders ended anyhope that the Revs had of mathematically getting in, even though it was a longshot anyways.

Diego Fagundez put the Revolution up 1-0 in the 35th minuteon Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, but Fredy Montero and the SeattleSounders answered one minute later, and it was all downhill from there, asMontero added another in the 47th minute to hand the Revs a 2-1 loss.

Both teams went into the half tied at 1-1, but Montero tookadvantage of a loose ball in the opening minutes of the second half, and beatRevolution goalkeeper Matt Reis to put the Sounders up 2-1, which was a leadthey would keep the rest of the night.
