Where Did Our Rivalry Go?

A three-nil drubbing at the hands of your most despised enemy is enough to put any fan in a mood so sour that puppies and songbirds seem like good targets for a well-placed kick. So bear with me if my vision is clouded by Saturday’s events. It seems that Quakes fans everywhere, myself included, are consumed [...]
The First Third Part #2 – 2008 vs. 2000
By: Sean | No Comments
This week I will be looking at different elements of this year’s first 10 games, and how it measures up to other teams and past seasons. Check out part #1 here.
With only a point separating them after their first 10 games, the 2008 Quakes and the 2000 Quakes seem to be pretty evenly matched. [...]

Last week’s game against the Crew was enough to convince any Quakes fan that they had either had one too many or that they must have finally snapped under the pressure of an expansion season and lost their sanity. How else to explain a Quakes squad missing Garcia, Guerrero, and Kamara calmly disposing of Columbus and collecting [...]

Congrats are definitely in order for Joe Cannon, who passed 10,000 minutes played with the Earthquakes. Coming into the season, Cannon had logged 9,261 minutes. Going into last Saturday’s match, he stood at 9,981. Cannon becomes the first goalkeeper to join the group. Other members include:
Richard Mulrooney (14,204)
Ronald Cerritos (12,382)
Wade Barrett [...]
Perfect 10

“Look at my vision and creativity! Pura vida! Que golazo!”
One of the most glaring issues (in my eyes) form Saturday’s match was the lack of play through the center of the field. That missing piece has been defined by the “#10″ jersey generally worn by the playmaker or attacking midfielder. Such famous #10s [...]
We aint mad at cha, Shea

I think by now, everyone who follows MLS has seen the epic fail from Shea Salinas when, late in the second half, he had a perfect opportunity to knock one in and tie the game for us. (What? You haven’t? Check the game highlights at MLSnet.com) Well, our Shea feels [...]

Hey guys, the Merc has an article on Wednesday’s game complete with quotes from Doyle and Kinnear. Yay. Thanks Ann. So to sum it all up, the Dynamo turned down Doyle’s request to interview Kinnear for SanHo’s head coach job but Kinnear isn’t unhappy. In fact, he says the idea of [...]
Ryan Cochrane is freakin awesome

I’m still on cloud nine today, after hearing the news we’ll be playing Houston next month at Kezar. For any Bay Area soccer fan, this is an event no to be missed. And the latest news is, the tailgate starts around 4pm either outside the stadium or inside Kezar pub (depending on the [...]
Learning along the way
By: Melissa | No Comments
I made a quick quip in the comments of a previous post on this blog that I should really start keeping track of all the times I’m incorrect. I think I’m getting close to ten wrongs so maybe I can redeem my imaginary punched card for a free cup of coffee. Ok, silliness [...]
