The San Jose Earthquakes Sentinel
Player ratings5 Mar 2035
Niko Tsakiris runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 57. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

4 matches without a win for San Jose Earthquakes
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around San Jose Earthquakes are no longer polite ones.

Cristian Arango in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at San Jose Earthquakes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Daniel Moore is a San Jose Earthquakes player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

A move Daniel Moore 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. Daniel Moore is living that version at San Jose Earthquakes, and it tends to show in the first month.

Ousséni Bouda stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Ousséni Bouda and San Jose Earthquakes agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

9 academy players handed senior numbers at San Jose Earthquakes
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
Boardroom5 Mar 2035
Claudio Gutiérrez will join San Jose Earthquakes for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Claudio Gutiérrez has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means San Jose Earthquakes have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Jeremiah White IV falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
