Stop playing here and the fans will come.
Where is that?
That would be Buck Shaw Stadium in San Jose, CA. Home to the San Jose Earthquakes... shame of a stadio, really ; as Visca sad, there's supposed to be a new one in the works... but I don't know what's happening with that, either.....
Damn! San Jose for that matter! That is a true face palm. With all the high tech companies they have there, they should have a worthy sponsor who can spit a stadium for them in no time!!! For crying out loud, they should have some mega project overlooking the bay!
Oh well, then comes the question of attendance. NJ has a pretty good home, yet I don't think they fill half that place....
SJ is the city... don't forget. They are building a plan, but they are currently playing at a College in Santa Clara.. not even in San Jose!!! I don't really have alot of passion for MLS as said before. Landon Donovan moving to Houston just killed me inside!
say what?!??!?!?! Donovan is moving!?!? Since when? I didn't know that. Landon & Clint are my fav stripes players. In my opinion, Donovan should be in at a major European league!
The Earthquakes were a team back in 2004... then they became the Houston Dynamo. Correction on Donvan moving to Houston... meant to say the team itself moving. I just remember his success in the early 2000's with the Quakes. My mistake.
The Earthquake's manager and coach got an extension today. Congrats on earning one after knocking out the red bulls in the playoffs last year!
By the way Coast! I know u follow the MLS. How have Titi & Rafa been doing?
Rafa got moved from CDM to center back this year, pushing a former Metrostar and club legend Carlos Mendes to the bench. Overall a good move. Along with Tim Ream, Rafa's been able to distibute well out of the back and since we've been playing more of a possession game this year he's been really important.
Henry sucks. Injured every other week. Doesn't jump for balls. Doesn't run. Most people think that he's just here for the city and doesn't really have his heart in the team.
One of the games of the year for me today. Red Bulls at Philadelphia Union. Should be an absolute rout.
Thanks Bling. at Titi! So he is pulling a Snake (Youri Djorkaeff) on them That is why I have been eternally against that stupid idea of buying washed out, former European league stars as a solution to boost the MLS. One of the most ridiculous business models I ever came across!!! Why not challenge for youngsters across the world & put some real money into the league? Give the damn clubs the freedom to do as they see fit with contracts, instead of their so called "caps". Go to Africa, South America, Asia: you will find young talent, that just need a little motivation.(For now it will be extremely hard to compete with European talent coz they already have a successful base). The MLS can make a name that way! What is the point giving Beckham and Titi 50 million dollar contracts, and say it is a means to get attention?!?!? Heck, Beckham spends more time in Manchester than in Los Angeles!
Thierry had the best selling jersey last year. That's why.
