    One bright note, 1 pundit (Matt Doyle I think it was) said that Matias has shown he knows how to get a team prepared for a tournament (referring to his success at Chivas in tournament play).

    Yeah I think you are right.

    With Almeyda’s tactics though ,they may play better in a mini tournament as opposed to a full season.

    Except for the weird imbalance of 6-team Group A, this seems like a legit tournament with a Champions League berth on the line... I'd say it's a very worthy trophy to shoot for. Just started a pre-tournament thread, hoping we can move the discussion there?

    We can send Trina to Nancy Thomas' house to exchange hugs.


    As are her neighbor's kids, who've been able to go to bed at 8:30pm every Saturday night for the last few months unhindered. ;)


    GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! :cool:

    Which still can't be done in Earthquakes Stadium because even after six years, the stadium inexplicably still doesn't even have an exterior skin. :thumbsdown:

    GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! :(

    Hello,

    I'm helping a popular newspaper in Estonia, Eesti Ekspress, get more information on how some San Jose Earthquake fans use Estonian flags at home games. Estonians are thrilled to see this _ and are interested in learning more about it.

    Does anyone know more about this phenomenon? Is there anyone at a fan club who can talk to me about this?

    If anyone on this forum knows more about this and can let me know, that would also be great.

    Also hoping to get some photos of fans waving the flag.

    Post here. I can also be reached at Michael.Tarm@gmail.com and at 312 203 8620.

    I'd be grateful for any information, including who to reach out to.

    Here are some of my questions:

    Any idea how this practice of waving Estonian flags started or who started it?

    Is the practice associated with one particular fan club?

    Why are the flags sometimes flown upside down _ with the white on top and the blue on the bottom? Is that closer to the team color scheme?

    Are most fans aware of the flag being an Estonian flag? (Perhaps some just think of it as the team flag?)

    Any idea where people get the flags? Are they sold anywhere in San Jose?

    Thanks so much.

    I have to ask, Marktime, if you were on American Airlines flight from San Jose to Chicago last July 2? If so, I think we may have had a conversation about this. I recall you (or he) werevery excited to here of this.
