Tectonic Takes

This blurb is giving “go on girl, give us nothing.” But I’ll take 13th I guess

If there was a most improved player award, Preston Judd would be in the running. Team of the matchweek selection works too though!

Preston Judd said not so fast! 2-1!

Brian White with a deserved leveler. Looks like the Earthquakes are headed for seven straight winless.

Josef Martinez his the post but the penalty goes into the back of the net anyway!

This Whitecaps lineup is unchanged from the one that beat SKC 3-0 in Vancouver (which Ivan saw live in his travels). MAK gets a start with Ian Harkes suspended.

I’m still struggling to remember who does and doesn’t have blue sky, my bad Ben! -Ivan

It's me, I'm the community member looking for Quakes fans to fill out my survey. If you have 5-10 mins to fill it out that would be much appreciated!

2025 Mid-Season Survey A quick survey to gather and share fan sentiment during a brief reprieve in the 2025 Season. Once again, emails will be "collected" so people can send their answers to themselves in case they want to...

Have a few minutes to spare before the game tonight? One of our community members is looking for Quakes fans to fill out this survey! forms.gle/KGSwYFbmbvmj... #SanJoseEarthquakes #VamosSJ

Ronaldo Vieira of Leeds and Sampdoria fame, welcome to San Jose!

Welcome back! More Bay Area soccer coverage one again :)

Hello! Bay Goals has been on an extended hiatus but we are coming back to you this week. We will be recording this Wednesday so drop any questions you have about the Houston game (or summer series or Bay in general) and we’ll make sure to try and answer them all)
#bayfc #nwsl

Bay FC up at halftime and there are corgis? What a great game!

Next recording for Tectonic Takes will be the Monday after San Jose Earthquakes take on the Vancouver Whitecaps.

We appreciate your support during our irregular upload period and if you haven’t seen our latest guest appearance, check out the Royal Riot Podcast.

I can’t wait to confuse people by being the only person potentially in all of British Columbia wearing a Quakes jersey at BC Place. This does mean once again I won’t be live posting but hopefully San Jose gets the win! Love from 🇨🇦

“While I have great memories with Real Salt Lake, this game is all about defending the colors of the San Jose Earthquakes.”-Chicho Arango on his ties to Saturday’s opponent.

It was a tough choice as to whether to rename the Lopez division Arango or Martinez in the Tectonic Takes fantasy football league for this upcoming season, but ultimately we went with the Arango division to rival Espinoza.

Won’t be able to live post during the game tonight as I’m headed to a friend’s birthday party. -Ivan

Also, we won’t be recording for Tectonic Takes this week since instead we will be collaborating with Royal Riot Podcast ahead of the RSL game during our usual recording time.

As one of Ivan’s favorite FIFA YouTubers JarradHD says “gotta turn these draws into wins” and that summarizes the San Jose Earthquakes going into tonight’s game. At 5:30 pm Pacific despite both teams being from the Pacific time zone.

Agreed with the commentators, why stop the game during the run of play? This game was both 1 point rescued and 2 points dropped. It doesn’t make sense but it is what it is.

Josef Martinez to the rescue! But that goal should’ve been to go ahead, not salvage a point. The San Jose Earthquakes need to improve quickly regardless of the result tonight.

Such poor defending. How is this team getting worse defensively as the season is going on? Shouldn’t their chemistry be improving?

First appearance for Jack Skahan since his game winner against Portland Timbers in the US Open Cup. #SJvDAL #MLS

Off the crossbar! That would’ve been game changing!

Horrible giveaway. San Jose Earthquakes almost got Dallas Burned there.

Daniel makes huge saves every game! That was the biggest of the night so far! #SJvDAL #MLS

Good attempt by Chicho Arango on the free kick

Really struggling to close out the half. I know there was 8 minutes of stoppage time but they got the equalizer not even halfway through it

And now Vitor Costa is knocked out of the game on a challenge he issued.

Ian Harkes only scores bangers! #SJvDAL
