Vancouver Whitecaps FC - San Jose Earthquakes (Saturday, 9/14) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

Who really cares?

 

Looks like Bouda, Gruezo, and Baldi are called up to nats duty. If Jebo can't go, I guess we're going to get Judd :-(. BTW Jebo's injury is listed as the ever so specific "upper body" injury. I hope it's not another concussion. Also, we are short CM's / d-mids with 2 of them out.

 

The game isn't this week.

 

Oh that's right... I assume they'll be back for the game then.

 

We lose this one.

 

That's a hopeful sign after your last prognostication.

 

Have the 2.0 Quakes ever won a match at that stadium ?

Seems it's like watching a match being played on cement.

 

Yes, at least a couple times. I was there in 2016 when the Quakes won at BC Place.

 

From the British Columbia sports museum in BC Place, August 2016.

Includes pucks from Sharks first ever NHL regular-season game, which took place in Vancouver.

 

If they were being honest - this is the best way to watch any 2024 Quakes game:

 

Actually this is

I experienced his the last game

 

The Quakes haven't won there since August 20, 2023. That also happens to be the last time they played there.

 

Welcome back!!

 

So one good match (RSL), one bad match. So, we should have a good game against Vancouver.

The beat us 2-0 earlier in the season, but that was during the Luchi era. Seems like a tie is in order. 1-1.

 

I'm not sure 1 and 1 is the pattern. More like 1 in 10 good games... 9 more bad to go

 

Never pass up an opportunity for a cherry pick. So sad that our "1-game win streak" has come to an end, but hey, 1.5 PPG the last 2 games!

 

Looks the Hernán "shorts hiking" is contagious.

This was all they could think of for our team..
