Don’t know how many of you all out there got a chance to see Frank Yallop on FSC’s Fox Football Phone-In Monday night, but it’s worth talking about for several reasons. Â First off, I have to say that I’m a regular viewer of the show and enjoy the content, for the most part. Â However, I [...]

The past week has been fruitful for the Quakes as the team steadily takes shape for the new season.  According to Centerline Soccer, Aki Riihilahti is the newest signing.  He is a holding midfielder with Premiership experience (at Crystal Palace), with his most recent action coming in the Swedish league.  At 32 years of age, he [...]

Pretty good recap of last season. Â It is sad to see O’brien’s moments, since he did have some of the best highlights of the season. Â I was really looking forward to a full season with O’Brien and Huckerby on the wings. Â Ah well. Â I also think it’s funny to see the complete absence of Kamara [...]

Well, it’s official now. Bobby Convey is the newest member of the Quakes. As I said before, after initially being a little underwhelmed, I now think it’ll be a good signing. He’s only 25, meaning that he potentially could be a solid member of the team for years to come. Convey has national team experience, [...]
And the newest signing is…

Pablo Campos. Â If that name doesn’t ring a bell, you’re not alone. Â He played for the Fresno Fuego before heading for Sweden last season. Â Here’s the Fresno Bee article. Â Campos was a fairly prodigious scorer with the Fuego, but then again that was at PDL level (for those who don’t know, the PDL is the [...]

As the season gets closer and closer, the news is flying fast and furious. Â I wouldn’t have it any other way. Â Isn’t that we live for as Quakes supporters? Â Any juicy morsel of information that might give us hope for a championship run, or for that matter an excuse to fly off on yet another [...]

The San Jose Offside is back from its holiday break, and all I have to say is: what happened to the Quakes while I was gone? Â The Cannon saga was thankfully concluded with The Joe remaining in San Jose as he should, but it definitely left a bad taste in the mouth of most fans. [...]
You’ll Never Shaft Joe Cannon?

Well, apparently Quakes management is. Ok, I know I’m being a little harsh. I can hear it already, “Business is business”, blah, blah, blah. According to Center Line Soccer, The Joe is being offered a grand sum of $150,000, a large pay cut from his 2008 salary of $200+. Now, the money isn’t the big [...]

Shocker news coming from Steven Goff over at the Washington Post. Apparently, the Earthquakes have declined the option on Joe Cannon’s contract, with an eye towards resigning him for a lower salary (right now he makes around $200K a year). The only problem is that this makes him a free agent, and a club from [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted a blog, and before I continue with my season recap, there were a few things around MLS I couldn’t ignore.Â
* First off MLS Cup 2008 is on Sunday.. The bad news is that the Quakes are not in it. The good news is that neither are the Galaxy or [...]
