Only reason I got a twitter account was to catch up on my footy news. Proud supporter of @SJEarthquakes, #ElTri and #USMNT. Also, I love me some proper beer.

I’m optimistic about this move. After the massive failure of the Luchi project and the wasted two years, Quakes can’t afford to go with an unproven coach. I’m sure STH numbers have tanked after last season. They need to start winning and Arena knows how to win in MLS.
Arena football. Coming soon to San Jose. NEWS: #Quakes74 name five-time @MLS Cup champion Bruce Arena Sporting Director and Head Coach.

If Arena was impressed with the commitment from Fisher, that’s a great sign. I always thought that the GM should report to the coach instead of the other way around. Coach is ultimately responsible for the results so the GM should work to get the players that the coach wants.

🤣🤣🤣 Desperate times and all that. Might as well try some shit I guess? But the club had to really commit and give him the GM role too.
Multiple sources tell me that #Quakes74 is in advanced discussions with Bruce Arena to make him San Jose's next manager.

Elon Musk keeps trying to stick his “joke” about somebody assassinating Vice President Kamala Harris. Over the weekend, Musk remarked, again, that “no one’s even bothering to try to kill Kamala” — while he was speaking in a house of God. More: rollingstone.com/politics/po…

Such a great interview from Paul. Never mind that he dropped Español like a G, he gave very honest answers which is refreshing for a club that at the FO level says very little in general, but should have made a statement at some point about the MASSIVE FAILURE in the 50th season.

This free kick from Messi was a beauty. Incredible that this ball, that goes to the right of the wall instead of over it, actually goes in. 👏👏👏

Get rid of additional time by stopping the clock whenever the ref has to stop the game for injuries, subs, VARs, etc.
If you could add a brand new rule to football, what would it be?

Master-class tracking from Gruezo 🙄. Gruezo has to be the worst Quakes transfer ever when taking into consideration the amount of money they spent on him and not coming close to being worth it. At least he’s proven me correct in that Leitch and Luchi grossly overpaid for him.
3 goals in 3 games 🔥 Caden Clark is a man in form!

Will gets it. Pretty sure these insecure people are also racist which would make sense since they fear and hate anyone that’s not like them.
Will Ferrell says he believes transphobia exists because “I think we fear what we don’t know” “I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me as a male. I don’t know why Harper is threatening to me. It’s so strange to me, because Harper is finally… her. She’s finally who she was always meant to be… Why would you care if somebody’s happy? Why is that threatening to you? If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself.” (Source: independent.co.uk/arts-enter…)

Cool that he recovered from injury but they better not play him in the remaining games. It would be completely pointless to play any player considered a starter for next season. They would just be risking injury for no good reason.

Ooh, I’m digging this expansion of the John Wick universe.

It’d be funny to get Arena in just to hear his comments on ownership throughout the season.
Sources: The San Jose Earthquakes have interviewed at least four external candidates for their head coaching job: ✔️ Bruce Arena ✔️ Gregg Berhalter ✔️ Gio Savarese ✔️ Robin Fraser Interim Ian Russell also in consideration. All details @GiveMeSport ⤵️ givemesport.com/bruce-arena-…

I know MCU can’t be 100% accurate with the membership of the comic teams but they could have included Hawkeye and Helmut Zemo since they were in the original Thunderbolts and are part of the MCU already.

But there are folks out there still defending Chris Leitch like he’s the solution just because “he knows the club”. Same with Ian Russell. Y’all homers need to let go of that shit. Bring in top talent and they’ll figure out the club and solve problems. But top talent costs money.
