The Official 2019 San Jose Earthquakes related Blogs/Press thread

Wonder if they're going to trade in the Q-mobile?

If @QMascot has taught us anything, it's that taking @lyft to @AvayaStadium is the way to go! 👍

I still think the Quakes need a double decker bus, painted in the team colors, that transports fans from downtown locations to the stadium.

 

Episode 19
Black and Azul Youtube broadcast scheduled for 8:30 PM Thursday June 27

We discuss the San Jose Earthquakes MLS team. This week we talk about the upcoming California Clásico against LA Galaxy. We will also include a discussion around the latest signings of Carlos Fierro and Andres Rios. This episode is hosted by Joel Soria, Alex Morgan, and Jamon Moore

 

Heavy focus on Quakes in the first 10 minutes of this week's Matchday Central.

Some key points they hit on:
-Tommy Thompson
-Wondo leading by example
-Vako hitting form
-The roster changes made after four games
-May be getting even better with Fierro and Rios

Lots of perks for 2020 season ticketholders, including free away game tix!

Those are actually meaningful additions that will likely have me more happy to renew.

Being able to exchange tickets for up to two games is great! It's nice to have the option to exchange just in case you can't sell them.

The free away tickets is amazing. Do any other teams do that? I've been to a couple away games and plan to do more. Would love to go to MN next year.

 

Oh, and the 20% food truck discount is free money (even though they're overpriced to begin with).

 

and I do want that Wondo bobble head.

 

Bracing for the price tag. But anyway looks like time to start 2020 STH thread...

 

Obviously I don't want a price increase, but if they do they need to get us a 3rd DP who we can reasonably expect to significantly increase the quality of the team.
If we get that I will start thinking about the cup.

Episode 21 Black and Azul

This week we talk about the Quakes on a point streak, their upcoming match against the LA Galaxy, and the results in Gold Cup, Copa America, and the FIFA Women's World Cup. This episode is hosted by Charles Wollin, Joel Soria, and Alex Morgan.

One of the striking highlights in this episode is the remarks made by Almeyda at the 11:00 minute mark:

Lengthy article with tactical analysis of Matias' Quakes from The Athletic (behind paywall).

Must be an incredible experience for the team to adapt this new system and see all their hard work bear fruit so dramatically.

 

Circa 2016:

. . . the Buffalo Bisons have decided to hold a Keep Brady Suspended Night.

The team is celebrating Tom Brady’s four-game suspension with a few special features at the game on June 11 . . .

• If your name is Tom or Brady, you won’t be allowed to watch the first four innings. They will let you in the ballpark, though, so it’s up to the honor system.
• Fans who bring a properly inflated football to donate to local youth programs will receive buy-one-get-one-free tickets.
• Fans are encouraged to bring un-destroyed cell phones to donate to charity.
• The scoreboard will feature videos of “some of sports’ greatest cheaters” and a special tribute to Bill Belichick.
• Because Brady’s footballs weren’t inflated to 12.5 psi, the Bison are offering a 12.5% discount at the team store.

Not.

Interesting comment from Zlatan heading into the big game between the Galaxy and LAFC.

“The most hyped derby I have played is El Clasico. The most intense I have to go Italy. Milan- Inter, those were good games."

 

On April 1st, we had 0 points.

Since then, we lead @MLS in points earned with 34.@peladoalmeyda on how we turned things around.#VamosSJ pic.twitter.com/naRcQgooEh
