    While nice, the classic games that I would want to see mainly occurred between 2001-2005.

    The Great Comeback, Nov 11, 2003 is on mlssoccer.com at 5PM today. It does not get more Quakes classic than that!

    Watching right now. Why is it only in Spanish? And at that, it's the ********ing Galaxy Spanish announcers...


    FYI, Alex Prus, the referee talked about this game every time we met until his retirement.

    Because that was the only live broadcast of the game. Local Spanish TV in LA.

    There were replays that showed it with LA's English radio call (there was no radio in San Jose, either), and Fox Sports World produced a replay with Max Bretos pretending not to know what was going to happen.

    My gosh that was a rough game. With VAR there would have been numerous reds. Agoos just cleated Moreno in the nuts.

    Also surprised that the whole game was played in front of both goals. Like neither team had a mid-field (or the last 15 minutes of a rec league game).

    That game had everything! Divers in yellow, tricky free kicks and midgets in the midfield.

    That was fun! I had forgotten that Roner scored with his first touch of the game. (I just read on Wikipedia that he now goes by his first name--Thor.) I didn't realize that the stands behind the south goal were almost empty. WTH was up with that? I had also forgotten about the sodden field. It's amazing that the EQ players were able to keep up that tempo all game. It was really nice to see Mulrooney in peak form again--I always liked him.

    A couple. The first went to Tyrone Marshall, who would have earned 3 or 4 more by today's standards.

    When I saw Faria in the stadium, bent backwards onto the back of his legs on the ground after he scored, and the team dogpiled on top of him, I remember being amazed that he got up from it unhurt. Seeing it on TV again doesn't make it any easier to understand. He must have been super flexible and his lungs full of air to survive that!

    From a distance now of 17 years the level of play doesn't look too good, but the looks on the faces of the Galaxy players made up for it.

    That was some game... :thumbsup:

    Typical back then. The rag tag mostly teenage band of a dozen or so Ultras hung out there. I was also there for the second half.

    This was my reaction - posted just after getting home from the game:

    https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/s...9-postgame-thread-r.81384/page-4#post-1791362

    It's incredibly hard and sad to note that about two years after this moment, the (then Supporters' Shield-winning) San Jose Earthquakes would be ripped out of San Jose and given, lock, stock, and barrel to Houston under the false pretense of "needing a soccer-specific stadium" - something that wasn't accomplished until FOUR ********ING YEARS LATER!!! :speechless:

    The perfidy, double-dealing, and outright lying by AEG must never be forgotten nor forgiven.

    Yes. Greatest single sports spectacle in San Jose history.

    Also, your point about how celebrated the match would have been if it had been a mainstream sporting event is well-taken.

    The Buffalo Bills happen to hold the record for greatest comeback in NFL history, also in the playoffs (and there are other eerie parallels I won't bore you with here), and as a Bills fan I understand quite well how differently the two events were treated by the respective hometown communities.

    The Mercury News didn't even send a photographer to record the event, whereas I still recall one of the letters to the editor in a Buffalo sports rag about the Bills comeback in its immediate aftermath: "It's been called one of the greatest things to happen in American history."

    Yes, that is an apt description for the Quakes' Comeback. November 9, 2003: a date that will live forever as one of the greatest in American history. :)

    I thought I saw what looked like a young Don in the crowd. I think it was just as 2nd half was starting. Could it be?

    Got on the way back machine and wondered what I would have said in the post game thread...and....nada.

    Sure, I had four rug rats raising hell at home at the time, but that really is no excuse. I'm so ashamed!

    I did get a kick at seeing the names of some of the old posters. Actually quite amazing how many are still here on BS Quakes board.

    2003 MLS cup final Quakes v Fire at 5:00pm to day on mlssoccer.com. I'd like to see the Western Conference final as well against KC, but I guess we can't have everything.

    Had to watch this one, too. I had forgotten how good Mullan was, particularly in beating the first defender. He was crafty.

    And I also forgot what a nightmare game that was for Roner! OMG.
