After nearly four full months off, the San Jose Earthquakes returned to action through the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando Friday night, playing the Seattle Sounders to a 0-0 stalemate in the teams’ opening game in Group B play.
It was not so much a game for the neutral, but it was exactly the kind of game San Jose seeks, with quick transitions, a frenetic energy, and much of a it a grind. While it may not be for the neutral, grinding out a point, against the defending MLS Cup champions, is a good opening result for the Earthquakes.
