The San Jose Earthquakes are one of those teams who are hard to get a handle on even in normal times. They play a man-marking style employed by no one else in the league, have a lot of players you’ve probably never heard of and were actually the last team in the league to be cleared to resume training after the coronavirus shutdown. But if anyone knows what’s going on there, it’s Center Line Soccer, SB Nation’s Earthquakes blog.
I exchanged questions with Alicia Rodriguez, who’s currently running the blog, to get a better idea of what to expect from tonight’s opponent.
