    "The Greatest Comeback is a made for TV documentary that intertwines two stories of determination, one by the players and one by the fans. In the 2003 MLS playoffs the San Jose Earthquakes were down 4 goals to their bitter rivals, the Los Angeles Galaxy... As Jeff Carlisle, ESPN writer says "I've seen hundreds of soccer games in my life. But this one was by far the greatest..."

    "...When the Earthquakes raised the MLS cup in 2003 it seemed everything was on the rise for the organization. However, behind the scenes news was developing that the team would be moved..."

    "...a group of seven dedicated fans...came together in an effort to save the team. They called themselves Soccer Silicon Valley (SSV), and in front of them laid incredible obstacles...
    "...At the end of 2005, even though the Earthquakes went undefeated at home, winning the Supporters Shield, the team no longer had a life in San Jose...Rather shockingly just 2 years later, professional soccer was back in town, in the form of a new San Jose Earthquakes team. It's a remarkable return considering the economic climate and a testament to the SSV's effort and loyalty."
