I suspected he might play a bit during the practice sessions. He certainly seemed like the kind of coach who would.

Some good press from the folks up in Santa Rosa:

Barber: Matias Almeyda has MLS’ Earthquakes marking, running and winning

 

Watching soccer could be good for your health.

When your team wins. Not when they lose.

 

Yeah, I'm thinking that the past 11 years have been a net negative for EQ fans in that respect...

 

Do we have a case to send our medical bills to Fisher?

 

Sadly, for me, disentangling the relative effect on my blood pressure of the poor play of the Buffalo Bills and the Quakes makes proximate causation tough to prove. So, I'm just going to chalk it up to ordinary anxiety about climate change.

 

Therefore the "could".

 

. . . At least one purist says VAR has removed a part of soccer’s unexpected and inherently unfair spirit. By relying on video technology rather than the human biases of a ref, the game is slower and less emotional. It also gives an edge to the more powerful, wealthy teams over weaker, poorer teams. “The problem with the VAR system is that you make the game more fair,” says Kjetil Kåre Haugen, a sports management expert at Norway’s Mölde University College. “The more fair the sport is, the more it benefits the better teams.” . . . [Emphasis added]

Kjetil obviously hasn't studied MLS.

 

Bah... I love VAR. I wish it worked better (more accurately) though.

 

Yeah, but you haven't been imbued with that Euro-disdain for fairness.

 

Au contraire. I have disdain for lots of Euros

 

New sponsorship, but not on the shirts or the stadium.

Quakes Come Up Short in Colorado
The Quakes traveled to Colorado looking to beat the Rapids for a 2nd time this summer. Carlos Fierro's debut wasn't enough as San Jose failed to capitalize on early chances and looked tired late in the game.

Based on the announcement, that should be 64 tumbleweeds a rolling in your image.

 

Since the New York Times has decreed that all things must now be viewed through a racial lens, it is worth observing that the dome in the foreground of the Arch is of the courthouse where the Dred Scott case was tried.
