There’s no question that the San Jose Earthquakes have been working hard this preseason. After arriving on Jan. 24, the players were subjected to 16 training sessions and a friendly over their first nine days before receiving their first day off on Super Bowl Sunday.
The team was right back at it on Monday morning, spending an hour at the gym before heading to the beach for sprints. After breaking for lunch, the entire contingent boarded a bus into Downtown Cancún, knowing only to wear long pants and long sleeves.
The bus turned onto a quiet, dusty alley and pulled over to the confusion of many players inside.
