Good heavens, the Quakes are still around? I was a season ticket holder in the 80's during their George Best / Leo Cuellar days. People think soccer is obscure in the U.S. these days never experienced that era.
That won't, of course, keep me from trolling the World Cup threads. SOCCER IS COMMUNISM AND THE FANS ARE ALL GAY! (Snoooork!)
They were the Clash when the MLS formed. Then, a few seasons later San Jose got their head right and renamed the team to the Earthquakes to reconnect with their NASL days.
That team moved to Houston to become the Dynamo, but San Jose retained the rights to the name and the record.
A few years after that, a newly formed Earthquakes was restarted.
