The San Jose Earthquakes have numerous players that have garnered respect and admiration around Major League Soccer over the years, including forward Chris Wondolowski and defender Clarence Goodson. But two players acquired over the past nine months have ignited both the club and fan base into a frenzy.
Midfielders Anibal Godoy and Alberto Quintero, whom both represent their home nation of Panama on the international stage, have lovingly become known as the Panamaniacs.
The two hard-working playmakers both arrived from ‘lesser’ leagues around the globe – Godoy from the Nemzeti Bajnokság (National Championship) in Hungary and Quintero from Ascenso MX, the lower level of Mexico.
