The much-anticipated start to the Matias Almeyda era began on Saturday with a 2-1 loss at home, not exactly a dream start but 90 minutes isn’t much time to accurately judge a squad. Chris Wondolowski got the start up top instead of Danny Hoesen which still doesn’t make sense to me. Wondo is a club legend, but Hoesen gives you the best chance to net multiple goals in a game.
Magnus Eriksson netted the San Jose Earthquakes first goal of the season with his devastating left foot. If he can manage to keep that shot on target the rest of the season Quakes, fans can get used to strikes like the one on Saturday.
