This weekend was a weekend of ties in Major League Soccer with the four games all ending up deadlocked.

San Jose Earthquakes 2008 Season Preview
Posted on March 9, 2008 - Filed Under MLS, News, San Jose | 5 Comments
San Jose Earthquakes
2007 Record: None
Coach: Frank Yallop (1st Year, kinda)
Key Players: Joe Cannon, Nick Garcia, Ned Gravaboy
Key Pickups: Everyone
Key Losses: None
2008 Outlook: Poor
San Jose is back to defend their title. Well, kind of anyways. Despite winning the Supporter’s Shield in 2005 (as well as MLS Cups in 2001 and 2003), the Quakes were placed on “hiatus” after the 2005 season. That’s a nice word MLS, “hiatus”.
A “hiatus” is defined as “a break or interruption in continuity”. TV shows go on hiatus. And when the TV shows come back, the old cast comes back too.
