awwww looks like somebody's feelings were hurt when the quakes defeated their team. There, there.....
SBI MLS Team of the Month: San Jose Earthquakes
The month of June could not have gone much better for the San Jose Earthquakes. They had three matches against Western Conference rivals on the schedule, including two tough road games, and not only did they manage to win all three, they won all three in dramatic fashion. Comeback victories ...

Im sorry Bradley brought you guys such disappointment. Losing to Brazil in the confed cup must be disappointing. Winning our World Cup group must be disappointing. Getting first in CONCACAF 2010 world cup qualifying must be disappointing...
Bradley, Egypt eliminated from African Cup of Nations qualifying
Bob Bradley has suffered his first big disappointment as head coach of Egypt. The Pharoahs failed to qualify for the 2013 African Cup of Nations on Saturday after a 1-1 draw with Central African Republic in the second leg of their first-round qualifier. The first leg was played two weeks ago a...
i cant tell if you're joking....that first goal was definitely onside
Lenhart brace propels Earthquakes past Union
By JOEY SAMUEL He didn't even play half an hour, but Steven Lenhart's physical style of play in the box worked wonders on Saturday night as his two goals led the San Jose Earthquakes to victory over the Philadelphia Union. After 75 minutes of mostly boring play from both teams, Lenhart broke...
uhhhhhh no. What statistics have you been reading, mister?

Bradley's Egypt runs unbeaten streak to 8
On a day when 73 people stood trial for their alleged roles in the deadly riots at a February soccer match in Port Said, Egypt, Bob Bradley was busy doing his part to restore the game in the African nation, guiding the national team in another match while trying to assess his squad before th...
Tell that to Villar. He's injured now from a that tackle that you consider "not bad"
MLS suspends, fines Joseph
Shalrie Joseph is the MLS disciplinary committee's latest victim. The New England Revolution captain was suspended a game and fined an undisclosed amount for his scissoring tackle from behind on FC Dallas' Ricardo Villar on Thursday night, one that drew a yellow card during the game. As a re...
how on earth is that even fair when the refs arent MLS refs.....they are USSF and CSA refs

of course, balance it best. Im just saying the one end of the spectrum with suspensions is alot more appealing than the other spectrum of doing nothing. Some people on here just like criticizing for the sake of criticizing. There's no pleasing those people and it benefits nothing. Finding balance is the key and im sure MLS will find that balance as this policy is fairly new. Give it time.

Last season: "MLS will never attract talent when its the talented stars like Morales, Ferraira and Zakuani that are frequently targeted but left unprotected"
This season: "MLS is getting too carried away with all these fines and suspensions"
The league just cannot please some people. At worst, it pisses fans and teams alike, but at best.........it makes a player hesitate go for a Mondaini or Mullan tackle. I repeat, at best, it prevents another Zakuani incident from occurring. Keep it up MLS HQ!

SBI MLS Best XI of the Month (March)
One of the biggest surprises of the young MLS season has been the play of the San Jose Earthquakes, who moved into a tie for first place in the Western Conference with their recent 1-0 win against the Seattle Sounders. San Jose's impressive 3-1 start has been due in part to the standout pe...
Just had to hit that post on what could have been your 3rd goal of the game. No hat trick.......so disappointed in you, Wondo. The only way Wondo will get called up by Klinnsman now is if he keeps scoring hat tricks....cuz obviously, just leading the league in goals for two straight year aint cutting it for Klinnsman...How Bunbury gets called up is a mystery????
Earthquakes cruise to win over Toronto
As far as home openers go, Toronto FC and its fans endured a rough one. After finding out that goalkeeper Stefan Frei would be out for up to 10 weeks with a broken leg on Saturday, Toronto FC fell to 0-2 on the season with a 3-0 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes at BMO Field. Some shaky Toronto...
yea, cuz the refs are top notch in the EPL (sarcasm)! Lets ask Holden how clean the players in the EPL are
Rosales out for Houston match with knee injury

Dempsey-----TBD---Holden----Donovan(sighhhh)

I give it another 3-4 years before we have all the positions filled :]
Americans Abroad: Weekend Rewind
By FRANCO PANIZO Clint Dempsey just cannot stop scoring. Four days after scoring the lone goal in the U.S. men's national team's first-ever win against Italy, Dempsey buried two chances in Fulham's 5-0 rout of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Dempsey's goal total now stands at 12 (18 across all compet...

Revs add Nguyen in waiver draft
The Vancouver Whitecaps' decision to cut Lee Nguyen has turned out to be the New England Revolution's gain. The Revolution picked Nguyen in Friday's MLS waiver draft, adding the one-time U.S. international into the fold. New England was second in the waiver draft order behind Vancouver, whi...
I dont know why so many people on this blog are saying that he sucks since i doubt they have seen him play one match at club level. Ignorance.
As a fellow asian american, ive been keenly following his career from his first cap against china, to his move to PSV to Randers and to his unfortunate stint in the V-league. I hope he lights it up against all his MLS foes (except the quakes) and show the league that Vancouver made a huge mistake in waiving him.

nevermind, there is a waiver draft tomorrow
Whitecaps waive Nguyen
It's MLS roster compliance day, and there has already been one surprising development ahead of the 5 p.m. deadline. The Vancouver Whitecaps waived one-time U.S. international Lee Nguyen, a player acquired through the league's weighted lottery process less than three months ago after returnin...
Since he was waived, does that mean he is a free agent? Or does a team have to "compensate" Vancouver for his rights? Hope the quakes pick him up. We have a large asian american population in the bay area. My dad told me the other day that his vietnamese radio news station was informing us when Lee Nguyen would be coming to san jose to play the quakes so he would draw some people (like my dad who isnt an MLS fan btw)

How cute. You make it sound so easy to build a world class stadium. You make it sound like the quakes FO had no clue what companies resided in their own area. Commenter fail.
Earthquakes get final approval for soccer-specific stadium
photo by Michael Pimentel/ISIphotos.com By FRANCO PANIZO It may have taken longer than they would have liked, but the San Jose Earthquakes will finally be getting a soccer-specific stadium to call their own. At a public hearing inside a packed San Jose City Hall's council chamber late on Wedne...
you cant seriously be judging them based on friendlies, right?
Desert Diamond Cup: Your Running Commentary
The MLS preseason heats up this week, as the Desert Diamond Cup is just one of the tournaments that gets underway. The four MLS teams down in Tucson, Ariz., are all in action Wednesday night, with the defending MLS Cup champion Los Angeles Galaxy taking on the New England Revolution and Rea...
Lets keep up this kind of "bratty five year old" comments so we can also have guys like "Soccer Guy" join his made up folk and leave this website. (i dont know how he knows that people are leaving when SBI consistently wins Best Blog award by US Soccer) You ask for discussion but you only discredit others with insults instead of debating them. Sheesh what a troll.
Instead of focusing on the negatives of LD, try to see the positives on what he brings to the team and that is RESULTS! The team is getting RESULTS from who? Oh thats right, LD. What sane person would bench a player who is setting up almost all of Everton's goals?
Soccer Guy, good luck finding a sportswriter/website that agrees with you so you can follow them instead. Hope i dont see you post on SBI again.
Everton 1, Manchester City 0: Match Highlights
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! and im not even a union fan. Loved watching this warrior play
Union part ways with Mondragon
The man who played as big a part as any in making the Philadelphia Union a playoff team is now headed home. Philadelphia and goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon mutually agreed to the Colombian's release Monday, clearing the way for the 40-year-old to end his career in his native country. Mondragon h...
I watch sports to see winners play at their highest level. If someone gets butthurt over being thrashed, well guess what, show some professional mental toughness and get over it! When its not professional competition (college, youth league, recreation, etc), you bring up valid points but for God's sake, its olympic qualifiers! You do know some reserves played their hearts out cuz, you know, they all want to be in the starting XI.
Also, after what DR did to Kreiger, they deserved to lose 30-0
U.S. women set for important Olympic qualifying matchup with Mexico
Photo by Stephen Brashear/ISIphotos.com The CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament has been a breeze so far for the U.S. women's national team, which has outscored two overmatched opponents by a combined 27-0 margin. Things should be a bit more competitive in Tuesday's final group match. The ...
"Struggled"?!?! He took his chances well and if it werent for Morales's great reflexes, Wondo could have had one or maybe even two goals. He was more dangerous than Shea and Bunbury and he only played 30 minutes. Take off your Wondo-hating glasses cause they are blurring your vision. He had a great game.
USA vs. Venezuela: Match Night Commentary
The U.S. men's national team kicks off 2012 in Arizona, taking on Venezuela at University of Phoenix Stadium in its first match of the year (9 p.m., Galavision/ESPN3.com). The friendly comes as part of the culmination of January training camp, and it provides Jurgen Klinsmann a chance t...
Kev, rewatch the game if you think Wondo did nothing in his 30 minutes of action. He forced two good saves from Morales, had one header from distance go just wide, and set up a wide open Bunbury with a beautiful touch only for Bunbury to whiff at it.
Wondo was our most dangerous forward.
Late Clark goal sees USA top Venezuela
By FRANCO PANIZO Just when it looked like the U.S. men's national team was destined for another scoreless game, a familiar face came up with the timeliest of goals. Substitute Ricardo Clark powered home a header deep into stoppage time on Saturday night, giving the United States a 1-0 victory ...
