For the first time in a long time, the San Jose Earthquakes come to town with a better record than the LA Galaxy, being one of only three teams in the league to go 2-0-0 to start the season. With the additions of Simon Dawkins and Panamanian winger Alberto Quintero, there is a growing consensus that this Quakes team is better than last year.
I fundamentally disagree. In the off-season, I wrote this about the Quakes, breaking down the problem with their current offensive build-- mainly, an over-dependence on crosses.
