Preston Judd said last night that he felt the celebration on his first goal against the Timbers was too muted. He wasn't going to stay quiet when celebrating goal #2. #FiretheSiren

Niko Tsakiris, arguably the San Jose Earthquakes most important player this season and the key to the team's early season success, is no longer listed as out in the latest MLS availability report. Big news for a #Quakes74 side that has struggled in his absence.

The get-in prices on the secondary market for the #USMNT World Cup Round-of-32 match at Levi's Stadium are what you might expect -- very, very expensive! www.mercurynews.com/2026/06/20/h...

The San Jose Earthquakes have signed head coach and sporting director Bruce Arena to a new contract that will run through the 2028-29 season. "I have enjoyed my time here in San Jose, and I am excited to continue to see this team improve and compete at the highest level in MLS," said Arena.

Not sure I've ever seen this layout for a bracket -- teams converging on the final from four directions -- but I love it!

Heavily rotated #Quakes74 Starting XI tonight at Seattle Sounders. Only way to rotate it even further would have been to replace goalkeeper Daniel with Nate Crockford!

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

The good news for #Quakes74 is that Preston Judd, the team's leading scorer with 8 goals, is not listed as injured on the latest availability list. Judd had to exit San Jose's 1-1 draw with Vancouver late in the game with an apparent right leg issue. He should be available for selection at Seattle.

Out at #Quakes74 training, still no Timo Werner.

And for those that like graphics, here's the #Quakes74 remaining pathway in the #USOC2026.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Based on the latest MLS Player Status Report, the #Quakes74 might want to look into getting a lower body conditioning coach.

The #Quakes74, along with the San Jose Sports Authority and Bay Area Host Committee, will host their FIFA World Cup 2026 watch party at San Pedro Square Market. The venue will show all 104 World Cup matches over 39 days, from opening kickoff on June 11 through final match on July 19.

Four hours in, and I'm beginning to think this Last-Minute Sales Phase is an elaborate April Fool's joke.

#Quakes74 defender DeJuan Jones will be out for up to nine months following successful Achilles surgery. A big blow for San Jose's defense, which has only allowed 1 goal in 5 games to open the 2026 MLS season.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Top of the Western Conference (and Supporters' Shield standings) off to a flying start. The #Quakes74 have games against the other three unbeatens over the next five-game span -- some big tests of their place in the conference hierarchy.

040

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Sure, the #Quakes74 three opponents have collected just one point out of 27 in the first three weeks, but that is in part due to San Jose earning three wins in that span. You can only play the team in front of you. Ousseni Bouda does not find the team's success to be a surprise at all.

140

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Ousseni Bouda, who scored the game winning goal, a beautiful execution assisted by Werner and Niko Tsakiris, had this to say about the team's improved defensive cohesiveness to start the season.

The #Quakes74 Player Status Report going into their match at the Philadelphia Union is looking pretty good.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

The #Quakes74 biggest signing of the off-season has arrived! Timo Werner touched down at SFO this evening and is on his way to San Jose.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

The final tally for Niko Tsakiris was 8 -- impressive for the 20-year-old. Bruce Arena was complimentary in his postgame presser comments, pointing out that it was Niko's first full-game appearance in MLS in his time coaching the #Quakes74. Tsakiris last played a full MLS game in September 2024.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Still 20 minutes to go, and Niko Tsakiris is out here having (and giving) a ball.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

The #Quakes74 installed a new field here at PayPal Park, with new surface and drainage. Today's the first official game on this surface, and it certainly looks fantastic, but the quality is to be determined.

How are you celebrating MLS Season Opener Eve? I decided to fire up the grill. Cerdo asado cooking up nicely 😁

San Jose Earthquakes sign Mexican international Jonathan Gonzalez to a one-year contract with two option years. The Santa Rosa, CA native is 26 years old and plays central midfield, somewhere between a #6 and #8. He featured in the #Quakes74 Coachella Invitational matches.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

The #Quakes74 Player Status report for tomorrow's season opener against Sporting KC does not contain any surprises. Beau Leroux is available for selection. Timo Werner is expected to arrive in San Jose next week, Bruce Arena shared during yesterday's media availability.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Hard to argue with the predictions currently up at MLSSoccer: the #Quakes74 need to show some sustained success to gain respect in these preseason exercises. The average of the TV folks' predictions is 12th in the West.

The article also includes a note on the ongoing efforts to sell the #Quakes74, which would help explain why the process has continued for as long as it has.

Two phrase that somehow go together when discussing the Quakes.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

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!

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

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

#Quakes74 with an almost full strength roster for tonight's Decision Day game against Austin FC. Regular starting goalkeeper Daniel a late scratch due to injury, so Earl Edwards Jr. gets the nod.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Following Arena's response to the question on club culture, I asked if the fact that John Fisher has put the San Jose Earthquakes franchise up for sale has had an impact on team and it's ability to be competitive in MLS. His response:

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Here's a view of the expanded training field, with the newer half in the foreground. The team is still waiting for its use permit to be issued, so it will likely be after the season before it can be used.

161

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

The San Jose Earthquakes still have everything to play for this Saturday against Austin FC, but the season postmortems are starting to be discussed. After training today, head coach Bruce Arena was asked about how the culture of the club has changed since he took over ahead of the 2025 MLS season.

Was out at the San Jose Earthquakes training facility for today's press availability. It's now double in size (the new half is in the foreground), though the team is still waiting for the use permit to be issued in order to play on the new part. A small, but necessary, improvement.

Robert Jonas @robertjonas.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Based on this table, given that his winning percentage in 2025 is 0.424, the answer is "Yes."

#Quakes74 vs. FC Dallas starting lineups. Cristian Espinoza is back from the injury suffered in San Jose's US Open Cup loss; Niko Tsakiris gets the start over Jamar Ricketts and Ousseni Bouda (both on the bench tonight).
