What to make of the 2021 San Jose Earthquakes six games into their season?
Danielle Slaton, who works on Earthquakes local broadcasts as a color commentator, believes there’s signs of progress but also tough opponents to date and coming up.
“I think they got off to a fast start, and it surprised quite a few people [around the league], which is great,” Slaton told Center Line Soccer during an interview on Thursday. “I think they’re in a stretch right now where competition is steep, right? I mean you go Seattle, Portland, then Kansas City. That’s a tough stretch and even if it’s a club that’s down a little bit, it’s a club that, you know historically has a lot of success.
