We didn't see a Bruce Arena-Timo Werner alliance coming. But it's made #Quakes74 the surprise package of MLS 2026 so far:

Everyoneβs favorite Greek comedy: the Portland Thorns coaching change
FIFA's first ever Peace Prize winner has become the first person to bomb a country out of participating in the FIFA World Cup.
Gianni is the biggest fucking loser. What a pathetic little man
Truly did not think that the organization could find a worse leader than Sepp Blatter and YETβ¦
Iran cannot participate in the 2026 World Cup after the US killed their leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the sports minister has said
The #Quakes74 really stand to benefit from the Concacaf Champions Cup schedules of their next two opponents, Seattle and Vancouver, as San Jose plays each following their head-to-head midweek matches. The Earthquakes crushed RSL early last season under similar circumstances.
For the amount of money we've spent bombing Iran, we could have built and preserved 135,000 units of affordable housing in California.
This is a story worth following closely for anyone who cares about the game in North America. The economic incentives in USL are bizarre from pretty much any stakeholder's point of view (except one).

Just won $10 on Polymarket betting on MLS suspending a player for life for betting.
Yet MLS is in partnership with Polymarket, which essentially begs corruption of game play & officiating, & encourages user financial ruin in a known addictive practice.
The players for both clubs stand in solidarity for 1 minute straight amid ongoing CBA negotiations between USLPA and the league. Supporters group chanting βPay your playersβ #StandUpForStandards
The Quakes are putting together sequences like this every single week now.
Brilliant final ball from Werner, but that Tsakiris patience and acceleration to get him into just a little pocket of space... San Jose's balling.
Timo Werner is off to a flying start! Thatβs two assists in his first 50 MLS minutes!

Bruce Arena's San Jose Earthquakes are pure entertainment
Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. Itβs time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards
Just to be clear, if the USLPA strikes and the USL hires scabs I wonβt be talking about or watching the League
Just need to be up front about that
seize the means of production, sports comrades!!!
Huge respect to USL players seeking a CBA that provides for protections (like health insurance) that should have been in place decades ago.
Not sure the in-stadium DJ in Lexington got the message.
oh my
The USLPAβs statement on tonightβs kickoff:
With a CBA deal still pending, Lexington and Louisville begin the season with a minute-long moment of stillness.
i love labor protest and solidarity, but also staying this still during 'gasolina' is terrifying
The #Quakes74 Player Status Report going into their match at the Philadelphia Union is looking pretty good.

USL gave the game away with the USL premier shit. You canβt make this big fuss about starting a tier 1 league & also treat the players like amateurs
