#Quakes74 win their first game of the CVI, 1-0 against Charlotte FC. Beau Leroux's first-half goal was the difference. San Jose's subs were better than Charlotte's in the second half, but they couldn't build on the lead.

Niko Tsakiris with a solid first half as attacking midfielder, and the good version of Daniel another highlight for the #Quakes74. Beau Leroux with a well placed shot gives San Jose a 1-0 advantage at halftime.

Quakes74 preseason news: All three of the #Quakes74 2026 Coachella Valley Invitational (CVI) matches will air on KTVU Plus (KICU-TV), including today's match against Charlotte FC at noon. The games will also be broadcast via live stream at www.sjearthquakes.com/livestream.

Heavy news for #Quakes74 this morning, as the club announces the passing of head sporting strategist Vassili Cremanzidis. He was just 36.

“There are no words to adequately express the depth of our grief,” the Quakes said in a statement.

San Jose Earthquakes stadium has been chosen as one of six sites to host early round games of the LA 2028 Olympics soccer tournaments. The final stages will be held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

A cashfer for Chucky Lozano would be a move by the #Quakes74 that I'd endorse.

Arena sees Werner as being a leader for the team. Timo said he's looking forward to the opportunity and plans to bring a loose, fun vibe, but still expecting the best out of his teammates. Reminds me of the impact fellow Bundesliga veteran Florian Jungwirth had on his arrival in San Jose in 2017.

Arena said he expects it will be 2 weeks before the paperwork is finished and Werner can join the team, with Werner telling him he's hungry to play and will be so right off the plane. Arena does expect him to be available for the #Quakes74 MLS season opener on February 21.

My first impression from Timo Werner's introductory press conference is Bruce Arena and the #Quakes74 have hit a golazo with this signing. Timo, both as a person and a player, fits exactly what San Jose needs at this stage: experience, winning attitude, strong personal perspective.

Kudos to Bruce and the organization for making this signing: it's the biggest move San Jose has made in the last decade, and it was sorely needed.

The next steps, to me, are to complement Werner with teammates that can play an aggressive, athletic style of soccer. They've already got some players who can do so (Jones, Leroux, Judd, for example), but will it be enough is my concern.

By signing Timo Werner, the #Quakes74 and Bruce Arena are following through on their intent to change the mentality at the club, but it will mean little unless the team ascends in its results. Bay Area fans, for the most part, expect their teams to be winners.

Chicho returns to San Jose!

Bruce has shown in the past that he won't rush into making signings and is comfortable making them after preseason has begun. I'm not saying that is a great strategy, but there's still time to integrate new players into the rotation.

To think that the #Quakes74 lost the guy at the top of this graphic due to a clerical error...

This is the kind of gamble you make with a DP contract, best German signing since Florian Jungwirth. #Quakes74

Utter malpractice by the #Quakes74 to lose Cristian Espinoza.

I'm hopeful of a Bruce Arena year two bump, but too many years of mediocrity "meeting expectations" keeps me grounded.

Two phrase that somehow go together when discussing the Quakes.

Congrats on the new gig! Always enjoy your insights, especially on @totalsoccershow.bsky.social

Given that San Jose is only 280 miles from the most southern peak of the Cascades, perhaps the #Quakes74 will be invited to join the Cascadia Cup competition when MLS realigns in 2027!

FIFA totally screwed the Bay Area with its World Cup schedule One of the tournament's biggest draws goes to Kansas City instead.

The headline made me snicker, but, yeah, the Bay Area won't be hosting any of the big teams this time around. Let's see how dynamic pricing works for this slate of games.

Still feel honored that Henry Taube was on my dissertation committee. Amazing scientist and person; I couldn't have been more fortunate.

Bravo! 👏

The two marquee games of the season, when the #Quakes74 venture away from PayPal Park for bigger venues, will follow the World Cup break (May 24 to July 21) and feature their California rivals: LA Galaxy on July 25 at Stanford Stadium and LAFC on September 19 at Levi's Stadium.

San Jose Earthquakes 2025 MLS regular season schedule has been released. Two home games to the start the season, then a first road game at the Philadelphia Union. Sweater weather for all three! #Quakes74
