A week ago, the San Jose Earthquakes were on a three-game winning streak and riding high. Since then, they’ve lost two games at home, most recently a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Portland Timbers on Saturday.
While Earthquakes head coach Matias Almeyda wasn’t quite as upbeat in the face of defeat compared to Wednesday’s 1-0 loss against the Seattle Sounders, he was philosophical after the most recent loss.
“I think football is simple: If you score and they don’t, you win; and if you concede and you don’t score, you lose,” Almeyda told reporters postgame via interpreter.
