SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Jose Earthquakes practiced this week with more pep in their step, as the glow from their 2-2 comeback draw against Toronto FC fueled their confidence.
The Quakes know Minnesota United, their next opponent, could be even more challenging than TFC, the reigning Eastern Conference champions. The Loons, themselves a playoffs team from a year ago, visit Earthquakes Stadium on Saturday, kickoff at 5:00 p.m. PT, riding high after a season opening road win at the Portland Timbers.
San Jose players are eager to earn their first win of the season, and they spent the week of training making adjustments to their approach.
