We ask David from Center Line Soccer on the new and improved San Jose Earthquakes. 3 questions, 3 answers
1) With San Jose finishing out of a playoff spot in 2016, how is the 2017 roster different? Are supporters more optimistic about qualifying for the 2017 playoffs?
Last season was undoubtedly the most turbulent in recent memory, and as you mentioned, ultimately ended with the club missing the postseason for the fourth-straight year. After San Jose dropped to ninth in the Western Conference, general manager John Doyle was sacked. But the rebuilding effort has been tireless at Avaya Stadium, and Quakes fans might be about as excited as ever to see a new season kickoff.
