Another result, but not yet a win. The San Jose Earthquakes posted their second road draw on the trot, but their winless run now stretches to nine games, after tying the Colorado Rapids 1-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday.
This was another credible performance on the road for the Earthquakes, but as they try to find traction in their season and come back, they really need wins at this point and are still lacking the cutting edge to hold onto a lead,...

Defender feeling more comfortable while still soaking it all in. The MLS Draft may no longer be a place where teams find lock-down starters every year, but it remains a place where teams can find solid domestic defenders.
San Jose Earthquakes defender Tanner Beason was drafted ahead of the 2020 season out of Stanford and amid the disruptive season that came during the pandemic, he didn’t get a ton of attention, but played his way int...

Earthquakes manager thrilled title drought is over. “Yes, I am very happy for my country.”
It was a stunning moment on the San Jose Earthquakes beat: head coach Matias Almeyda responding to a question in English, something he does not do, as he normally answers questions in his native Spanish.
But the circumstances that brought us to that moment on Wednesday were stunning too, after Argentina won the 2021 Copa América last weekend.
Considering Argentina is a soccer-crazed country general...

Youngster played his part in tourney for his country. Marcos Lopez should be returning to the San Jose Earthquakes in the coming days, after missing more than a month of action with his club, while out on international duty. Fortunately, it was a pretty decent outcome for him personally.
Lopez’s Peru finished in 4th place at the 2021 Copa América in Brazil on Friday, after they lost a nail-biter 3-2 to Colombia in the 3rd place game. Lopez fea...

Will it change the team’s trajectory? In news that is not news anymore (sorry, I was on vacation), Jesse Fioranelli was fired as the San Jose Earthquakes ’ general manager last week. I spoke to Jesse a few times the past couple years, and as everyone who has interacted with him in this business has said, he struck me as a kind guy who was more publicly honest than most people in his position.
But the Earthquakes have not been one of the free-spending teams i...

Manager determined to get team back on track. The pieces were in place for a special night on Saturday for the San Jose Earthquakes , but it wasn’t meant to be.
A six-game winless run coming in, including a battering midweek on the road, came up against a resurgent LA Galaxy team in the Cali Clasico at PayPal Park, but even with a full crowd and hope that the Quakes would turn it on in the derby once again, it didn’t break that way, as San Jose lost 3-1...

Cali Clasico at home does not go at all to plan. The San Jose Earthquakes ’ winless run has extended to seven games, after they lost the Cali Clasico against the LA Galaxy 3-1 on Saturday at PayPal Park.
While the margin of defeat was smaller than the Quakes’ last match, that comes as scant consolation for a team that did score late, but after the game was already decided.
Matias Almeyda opted for a three-man midfield in this game, with Eric Remedi returni...
