It’s been feast or famine for the San Jose Earthquakes this season, as the team has been either quite good or quite bad this season.
Right now, it’s a good time, with the Quakes on a three-game winning streak, their second three-game streak this year across all competitions. But with a nine-game winless run sandwiched between those stretches, the good vibes still feel a bit precarious.
And maybe that’s why Earthquakes head coach Matias Almeyda has emphasized the collective throughout, in good times and bad.
This was particularly true Wednesday, following San Jose’s 3-1 win over a 9-man Vancouver Whitecaps team, where Almeyda hammered home the point that the whole team is playing well right now.
