Two phrase that somehow go together when discussing the Quakes.

FIFA World Cup draw going great it looks like.

Imagine being such a fragile little baby that you need your ego stroked with a participation trophy from your buddy's corrupt soccer organization because you didn't get a real peace prize you didn't deserve.

2025 Mid Season Survey Results 2025 Mid-Season Survey Results I just wanted to say a quick, but sincere, thank you to the 92 Quakes Fans from Tectonic Takes, Quakes Epicenter, Facebook’s β€œSan Jose Earthquakes Discussion”, reddit’s ...

Done!

If you want any more Quakes specific content I also run a survey once or twice a year specific to San Jose Earthquakes. I will be doing my own end of year one soon.

2025 end of season fan survey Voice your opinions on the quality of play in Major League Soccer, the television product, the proposed calendar shift and more!

It's time for my favorite piece of content we do every year: our fan survey.

This year, we're collaborating with over 20 independent outlets to try and get it out to as many people as we can! If you have even a passing interest in Major League Soccer, could you take a minute and fill this out?

Haha, no worries Ivan! That wasn't meant to be anything serious. I was just realizing I could post it to my own BlueSky. =)

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!

Big fan of this, especially the trusted verifiers layer.

Hopefully this pushes more MLS clubs to get on here.

When did the San Jose Earthquakes delete their Bluesky account?

I noticed it on 2/10 and their last post was 2/6. They have not responded to my emails yet, but maybe you'll have better luck! πŸ˜‚

No fee... but also no buyout?

Is this a win? πŸ«΄πŸ¦‹

This is cool to see. I think Luchi got done a little dirty with the hand he was dealt. I am super excited to see what he can do with the academy and am glad he didn't have to relocate.

I presented 120 Earthquakes fans with a list of players with contracts ending in 2024 and asked who they would keep or drop under the context of an off-season rebuild. This is a summary of their responses.

For the last 18 months I have been asking San Jose Earthquakes Fans if they are optimistic for the following season. This likely isn't a surprise to anyone, but 2024 did a number on fan morale.

On 9/24 Tom Bogert reported that Ian Russell, Gregg Berhalter, Bruce Arena, Giovanni Savarese, and Robin Fraser were among the names being considered for the permanent coaching job with the San Jose Earthquakes.

I asked 120 Quakes fans their thoughts.

This is the larger problem. Maybe journalists only wrote a few articles each, but getting it from every angle adds up. I remember my tipping point being when I went to watch my own team's LIVE game and instead was presented with a full page recording of Miami's game I had to scroll past.

a checklist of MLS teams and accounts

a checklist of MLS teams and accounts

I started a "List" for MLS Team Accounts. In the last few minutes I've dropped a few after realizing they are fake, but I will continue to update as needed.

Let me know if you know of any to add/drop!
