Semi-Official 2018 San Jose Earthquakes Roster Thread

By the way, Cyprus' overall population is roughly the same as San Jose. My guess is that San Jose's GDP is orders of magnitude larger.

 

Well, if this is any indication, American Louis Bennett II (formerly of the Chicago Fire U23 and Swope Park Rangers!) played there in 2016.

 

Seem like they have a whole bunch of teams in that league. They must really love soccer there!

 

They've got a freaking second division. And probably promotion and relegation.

 

Wonder how strong Cyprus' hockey league is?

 

And like 14 teams in the 1st division!

 

The phrase screw the pooch, meaning to mess up, commit a grievous error, was made famous in Tom Wolfe's book The Right Stuff. The phrase is a euphemism from US military slang. The original expression was ******** the dog and meant to waste time, to loaf on the job.Oct 10, 2004

 

Interesting, but that article is a bit old, April of 2016. I guess that's what you meant by "recent rankings".

One MLS troll thought MLS should not be above Liga MX, saying MLS hasn't beaten any MX teams and I thought I just read both Toronto and NYRB both won, then I checked the date.

Calling MLS "Pretty much main stream" is also a stretch, even now.

 

Ha! Yes I witnessed an old Aussie dive boat captain use that phrase "f*cking the dog" when lamenting about someone on his crew leaving the ladder, that divers used for climbing onto the boat, deployed just behind one of the two screws that drove the boat. They started the engines, took off and about 20 seconds later the boat stopped and the colorful language began.

 

Ha, ha!!

One of my first snorkle trips included an Aussie boat captain. While I was in the water, my wife asked the captain about these tiny sea snakes we had seen in the area. The folks at our resort told us they were harmless. The captain told my wife they were super deadly poisonous, except that their mouths were to tiny to bite people unless you stupidly stuck your finger in.

I left the snakes alone.

And what has any of this got to do with the roster?!

We need a back up left back!!!

Go Quakes!!

 

And the Cypriot hockey league? Or are they into bobsledding, like the Jamaicans?

 

I fear I have an absolute absence of amusing anecdotes about avuncular Antipodeans.

 

You misunderstand the meme. It alludes to the fact the if I remember correctly not a single "international" player during Doyles time here got a green card.

 

Not true. I believe Khari got one (although he may have already had it) and so did Chavez.

 

My old boss had an alteration of that phrase. I had a horrible hacking cough for a couple of days, and he finally said he said he would replace me with a dog and shoot the dog.

I swear it had absolutely nothing to do with my job performance.

 

Bingo

 

Wow. How many different groups could you have gotten to fund your workplace harassment lawsuit: feminists, animal rights activists, anti-gun activists, the luddite anti-automation crowd?

 

BREAKING: Earthquakes sign SuperDraft selection Paul Marie. ⚫️🔵

he was British (and still is, although now he is a US citizen too), so I guess he got a pass. Actually, he was a great guy who did a lot for my career. And back then, people could pretty much say anything, and no one cared that much about shooting animals.

Nowadays of course, people care more about shooting animals than shooting children.
Please excuse the political side-track.

 

As expected... I'm still not sure this is the best use of an international roster spot (instead of signing Marie and sending him on a season-long loan to USL and saving it for a difference maker in the summer), but hopefully Marie will be worth it... and who knows maybe he'll get a green card by the time the summer transfer window rolls around.

Edit:

Marie has immediately been loaned to the club’s USL affiliate Reno 1868 FC and can be recalled at any point this season.​

It's not a season long loan though, so he's taking up the INT spot even though he's with Reno.

 

Can't we cut people before the mid-year draft window? So if this didn't work out and we wanted to spend some Garber Bucks (tm) we could cut him and sign whom ever?

If so, what is the downside right now?

 

I think we can rearrange his loan deal with Reno to take him off of our roster, so there might be no downside at al.

 

So, Hyka gets a Green Card and we have signed Paul Marie. I would imagine the roster is pretty set until the transfer window.

CURRENT SALARY TOTAL for 2018 the cap is was approximately $4,035,000, and our overall salary is unknown. Note: Some player's salaries were likely bought down this year with allocation money, and this cost is not represented in the figure above. The 2017 figures above were used to calculate our cap, rounding up to the nearest thousand from the union's released salaries from April 2017. Part of Wondo's salary (TAM) has been bough down and he has since signed a new multi-year contract in 2016. Hyka, Jungwirth & Hoesen signing also used TAM in 2017.
