With the atmosphere of over 40,000 people in the Oakland Coliseum, we saw big saves, missed chances, a midfield battle that Japan won, and ultimately this game was a love letter to international soccer in the Bay Area ahead of the World Cup. ivaorn.medium.com/mexico-0-0-j...

Mexico 0–0 Japan: Everything but the Goals at Oakland Coliseum

Growing up in a Mexican family in the East Bay, it felt like the star aligned when this friendly was announced to take place in Oakland…

“We will use the means we have to improve our roster. Maybe I’ll call Inter Miami to see how they manage the salary cap.”-Bruce Arena’s humorous take on building 2026’s Quake roster.

Apologizes for the short notice but since Portland vs RSL is the 8-9 matchup, I’d love to have a Portland media member join our podcast recording Monday night for a playoff preview episode. If you cant make it I understand. I’ve had a tougher time finding a Portland representative than RSL.

Just wasn’t meant to be for the Earthquakes. Still great improvement from last season to being in the playoffs mix!

Quakes did their part! Now for St. Louis to hold their lead!

If Niko Tsakiris sticks around for next season, he needs to be more involved.

If Orlando didn’t have a poor performance today, this conference would be looking even stronger going into the start of the playoffs. Credit to Toronto going out on a high.

The Eastern Conference playoff picture is settled. It's an absolute buzzsaw.

Orlando is a 9th seed and going on the road in a wild card game on 53 points. Last season, that point total would have been a 4th seed. Wild.

YouTube is barely passable when it works but when it’s down, it really does suck. Especially when you were looking forward to watching something in your watch later playlist.

Morocco beat France on penalties to advance to the U20 World Cup final! What a great last few years it’s been for this country and their team!

Why is this World Cup rejection email annoying me more than the college rejection emails I got in high school 😂
