I can't believe we have a game on Wed and then LAG on Saturday.
Also, I can't believe -- no reminder emails from the Quakes about these games...

I guess the whole front office must have been focusing on the watch parties.

I’ve seen countless tweets about these games. @Goodsport has been posting them, too.

I'm not on twitter or instagram. I only follow specific threads on BigSoccer...
I have all the games in my calendar, but I rely on Quakes emails as useful reminders.

You are on BigSoccer, though. @Goodsport is a pretty reliable source for upcoming games — and daylight saving time.

If one Fujimori doesn't get you there, try another one.

A special night celebrating the game beyond the pitch. 🌎

We’ll honor the local leaders who helped make this summer’s World Cup celebrations possible, with Quakes World Cup veterans John Doyle, Víctor Bernárdez and Chris Wondolowski to help recognize them at halftime.

As someone said, Nonso is out injured. Earl is either still injured or injured again, meaning Angus had better be ready to go. Otherwise it’s Montali or Crock time. Niko not ready yet and DeJuan is probably done for the year.

San Jose Earthquakes

OUT: Nonso Adimabua (lower body)

OUT: Earl Edwards Jr. (lower body)

OUT: DeJuan Jones (lower body)

OUT: Niko Tsakiris (lower body)

I drank really good Scottish beer … while I was in Scotland. Damn, I want to go back.

QuakeAttack · Jul 21, 2026

Orlando has a -21 goal difference. Quakes need to win this game and use it as stepping stone for the second half of the season. Who is replacing Niko?
