It doesn’t get much bigger than this.
After a crushing 2-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday, the San Jose Earthquakes are now set to host Real Salt Lake in a battle of two teams on the cusp of the postseason. Chances are that no more than one of these two teams will reach the playoffs, so Wednesday’s head-to-head showdown will mean a great deal in the final standings.
The good news is that all three of the internationals who recently competed with their respective national teams – Marcos Lopez, Vako, and Guram Kashia – should all be eligible for selection.
