WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Revolution conducted their final full-scale practice Friday in preparation for Sunday's MLS Cup.
The team held a half-field scrimmage at the RFK Stadium auxiliary fields, Andy Dorman and Taylor Twellman among the goal-scorers.
This will be the Revolution's third successive appearance in the MLS Cup and fourth finals appearance in six years. The Revolution lost in 2002, '05 and '06. In their other finals appearances, the Revolution lost to the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2001 U.S. Open Cup and defeated FC Dallas in the Open Cup last month.
The Revolution, who took Wednesday off and traveled on Thursday, will work out at RFK Stadium Saturday morning. Coach Steve Nicol will stay with the same lineup which has produced a 2-0-1 record in the playoffs: Reis; Heaps, Parkhurst, John; Thompson, Larentowicz, Joseph, Ralston, Smith; Noonan, Twellman.
