By Dave Martinez | April 17th, 2008Amado Guevara has signed with Toronto FC and has already made an impact, playing a major part in the Reds first win of the season. And, as Melissa reports, Peguero Jean Phillippe (or Jean Phillippe Peguero - the mystery continues) has just signed ...
Red Bulls 2008 Preview and Predictions
By Dave Martinez | April 3rd, 2008RED BULLS PREVIEW - 2008 Let me begin by saying - this is completely based on the team as currently configured. I know April 15th is right around the corner, and 2 signings can change everything, but this is the current situation. With that ...
Thank you Center Line Soccer
By Melissa | March 30th, 2008A thousand thank yous to John Todd at Center Line Soccer for taking this picture. I call it “The Money Shot.” Go Earthquakes. ...
Neglected Tidbits (Ronald Vargas, Celebrity Game)
By Dave Martinez | March 24th, 2008Hey. Sometimes I just pass on talking about certain things for no particular reason (example: Mendoza as a trialist, Marmol as a Red Bull - until it became interesting - stuff like that). So here are some cool things happening in our world tha ...
Metr-Olympians!
By Dave Martinez | March 21st, 2008Causing fits the entire night for the Maple Leaf back line, pressuring early and often, and drawing four free kicks near the box, two that were scorched in by Freddy Adu. All in a days work for our Olympian - Jozy Altidore. The US beat Canada 3-0 ye
Don't forget
By Melissa | March 19th, 2008Don't forget it's almost tax time. I forgot and I'm a contractor so no EZ form for me. And to Quakes fans, don't forget we take on the Charleston Battery tonight at 5:15. The stream will be here. If you are stuck at work and the corporate bastards blo
All quiet on the Kansas (City) front...
By travis | March 17th, 2008Ho-hum. The newswires surrounding the Wizards are quiet as of now. Probably building steam as the beginning of the season draws near. T-minus 12 days and counting until the opening match against DC. I'm going to be coming at you with massive amounts of pr

EJ hits post; Fulham draws
By travis | March 10th, 2008Welcome to the latest episode of the Let's Watch EJ make the EPL only to get relegated brought to you by KC Wizards Offside. In this weekend's episode, Eddie managed to hit the post in Fulham's 1-1 draw with Blackburn. The valuable point vaults Fulham int
Ballin'? y/n?
By Melissa | March 9th, 2008If the readers recall, last month, sf over at The Offside Rules posted a photo of Nick Garcia at his KC Wizards going away party and posed this question to the blogosphere: did the photo prove that Nick was ballin' out of control? Well, on that vein, I'v
My mind was just officially blown
By Melissa | March 9th, 2008Daylight what? I have no idea what time it is. Anyhoo, over at bigsoccer, a user named Roblar went ahead and posted the most amazing update on the current state of the Earthquakes roster that I have no other option than to post this person's post so her
Leetle things
By Melissa | March 4th, 2008All is seemingly quiet today. Kelly Gray got waived and I guess we didn't pick him up? I am of the opinion we don't need him but I'm still a bit sad we didn't just grab him anyways. I don't know if he'll wind up with another team or just focus on his o
EJ starts for relegation-bound Fulham
By travis | March 2nd, 2008Eddie Johnson, fresh from his debut the previous weekend made it into the starting 11 for Fulham over the weekend. The end result? A 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Man Utd. Anyone bold enough to predict the Cottagers not getting regulated, feel free to pos

EJ makes EPL debut
By travis | February 24th, 2008A quick note on former Wizards forward Eddie Johnson: he made his debut for Fulham today. Coming on in the 76th minute for fellow US International Clint Dempsey, he couldn't prevent another Cottagers loss. I didn't see the game as it wasn't on TV down her
Earthquakes 2, Crew 1
By Melissa | February 23rd, 2008Hooray! Our first for realsies win! And Kei Kamara scored both our goals! Here's a little write up from Cal Poly's site: Kamara kicked the scoring off in the 17th minute. Gavin Glinton slid a pass on the ground through the defense on the right side
DEMA KOVALENK - NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
By Dave Martinez | February 22nd, 2008One of my favorite Ray Hudson quotes is about Dema Kovalenko, and it goes a little something like this: "(Kovalenko) would stab his grandmother in the eye for another bowl of porridge." - Ray Hudson, American Soccer Talk about heart in a season that
See ya Nate
By Melissa | January 28th, 2008It looks like Nate Jaqua is going to sign with SCR Altach today. My #1 wish for Nate to don the new Earthquakes kit just got tossed out the window (but a great move for Jaqua). Most importantly, with the departure of Jaqua and Ngwenya, I think the likel
While you were busy drooling over the Macbook Air
By Melissa | January 16th, 2008A bunch of former Quakes are having the best week ever! Congratulations to the looong list of ex-Earthquakes eligible for induction into the National Soccer Hall of Fame including Jeff Agoos, Troy Dayak, Dominic Kinnear, and our very own GM John Doyle.
Nick Garcia to San Jose?
By Melissa | January 15th, 2008Ok... in Yallop we REALLY trust. The Kansas City Star is reporting we just traded our first round draft pick for the Wizards defender. I can't shake the feeling that this deal is part of a bigger trade package that includes the Ruiz move to Los Angeles.
In Yallop we trust
By Melissa | January 15th, 2008San Jose has the first and fifteenth pick for this Friday's SuperDraft and TheFrank has made it very clear he will likely trade his picks for MLS veterans. Needless to say, I'm not getting overly excited about this event. A few journalists attended the
MATHIS, WE CAN CHEER AGAIN!
By Dave Martinez | January 11th, 2008According to some pictures on the main site of Greek side Ergotelis FC (because, honestly, who can read greek anyway? anyone?), and some nifty investigating by theoffsiderules.com, Clint Mathis is going to Greece! Ah . . . now we can all smile again.
Angel OFFERED to Atletico Nacional . . . rejected.
By Dave Martinez | January 9th, 2008Can you believe we shopped around JPA?! Well, get ready for this one folks. Óscar Héctor Quintabani, head coach of Colombias treasured NACIONAL, was looking for some extra fire power heading into the Copa Libertadores. Who did he want? You gue
Pile on those pre-season games, Ramiro Corrales wants to return to MLS
By Melissa | January 9th, 2008Time to get as much practice in as possible before the the very first (away) game against LA. *Shudder* The announcement came today that the Quakes are joining The New York Red Bulls, Toronto FC, and The Charleston Battery to participate in the Carolina
Jeff Agoos, John Harkes, Reyna, Jon Conway and a Partridge in a Pear Tree . . .
By Dave Martinez | January 9th, 2008ITS GOOD TO BE BACK! And we have definitely missed a bit haven't we? Where to begin? JON CONWAY Conway has been negotiating his return with the Bulls, and is eyeing the starting spot. With a raving supporter in Jeff Agoos, who has publicly st
Buck Shaw too ugly for national television, Joe Cannon debate continues
By Melissa | January 8th, 2008According to Steve Davis at ESPNsoccernet, among the many scheduling conflicts that make up our convoluted MLS season (those pesky international dates, non-MLS tournaments, and having to share the stadiums with other sports teams) is the new problem that
Petition to bring Joe Cannon back to San Jose
By Melissa | January 7th, 2008Personally, I'm a bit torn. I seriously doubt Preston Burpo would've wound up in San Jose if there was even a remote possibility Joe Cannon could return in '08. Well, who am I to know the inner workings of MLS trade deals? But TheCannon™ certainly ha
FINAL UPDATE and POST FOR 2 WEEKS (yes another VACA!)
By Dave Martinez | December 27th, 2007Hey Red Bulls fans! I am off to the home of the MLS Champs . . . Houston. Why? Because I like to go cow tipping. Problem? Anyway, I will be gone for the next two weeks. So here is some stuff you should keep your eyes open for, as we hea
Its Combine Time
By Melissa | December 19th, 2007Well, I got that evil, terrible flu thats been going around. If at all possible, quarantine yourself from life immediately to avoid this one. I'm going to assume our Quakes took the necessary precautions because its full speed ahead for this week's Comb
The Osorio Poll - My take
By Dave Martinez | December 13th, 2007Much to my surprise, the Osorio deal doesnt seem to float everyones boat. What was a throw in poll for me turned out to reveal alot - many of you dont believe in this move. Now my opinion is that Osorio will improve our on the field product much mor
