The San Jose Earthquakes Sentinel

A one-man rearguard from Ryan Schewe
There were 12 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Brenden Wright: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” San Jose Earthquakes have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The wait goes on for San Jose Earthquakes
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Alex Pulisic runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at San Jose Earthquakes
Preston Judd was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A move Miguel Montes would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Miguel Montes is living that version at San Jose Earthquakes, and it tends to show in the first month.

Nehmani McNamee-Burke’s goal not enough for San Jose Earthquakes
Nehmani McNamee-Burke scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Los Angeles Football Club, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Ninety minutes of Nehmani McNamee-Burke at his very best
Marked 8.53. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at San Jose Earthquakes.

A long bet from San Jose Earthquakes on Miguel Montes
He is 19, and nobody at San Jose Earthquakes signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
In brief
- Player ratings The chances came and went for Aldo Encinas
- Player ratings Ryan Raposo could not find anything
- Market Still no ink between San Jose Earthquakes and Miguel Montes
