The MLS Season is over for the "new" San Jose Earthquakes. All in all a very good season. The didn't make the play-offs (Neither did DC United and LA Galaxy), which ended up being a disappointment, but, they challenged all the way until the penultimate game and with some luck they could have been there (Cochrane's wrongly disallowed goal within 5 minutes of the first game against the scum, Connor's goal that shouldn't have counted for Colorado and the awful wrong penalty goal against Dallas would have given the 7 points needed aswell as two late goals conceded against Houston and Kansas). Having said that I am proud of the best expansion team since 1998. 33 points, 8 wins and a top 5 defence are highlights. Also, if the league was judged in the "traditional way" of goal difference they would have finished above the LA Scum (-6 vs -7).

It was great to have my team back, and great that they were competitive and above all great that I have something to look forward to next year.

Go Quakes!!
