SAN JOSE
The Earthquakes have played only one game in 2017. But it was exactly the game they needed to play.
They ran hard. They played aggressive soccer. They won on their home turf against a good Montreal team, 1-0. And for a couple of hours, they managed to make people forget last season’s 8-13-14 record.
And now?
Whatever’s next, it had better be tremendous and entertaining. In more than one language.
That’s where the Earthquakes’ new general manager, Jesse Fioranelli, needs to really step up. He showed me the other day that he may have the tools.
