The San Jose Earthquakes returned to training admit a quiet international break, and coach Dominic Kinnear updated me on the latest news with the team.
During a rare international break that MLS respects, the San Jose Earthquakes have had a fairly quiet last week short of bodies due to international call-ups, loans, and injuries, but the traditional training and work ground on for those who remained.
While reporters are not permitted to watch tactical work, I watched a short-sided scrimmage with a mix of regulars on both teams. Amidst fairly routine action, Innocent latched onto a Matheus Silva through-ball and a sliding Bryan Meredith took out his legs for a penalty, which Tommy Thompson converted.
