Soccer is a strange sport. Only in soccer can domination (and pool if you are like me sometimes…) semi-regularly end in a loss.
In their last two matches (both at home), San Jose held Seattle Sounders to one shot on goal; out-possessed Seattle and Portland Timbers dramatically; had expected goals of 1.5 and 2.2, respectively; and lost both matches while being shutout in each.
There are many things about the ‘Quakes that can make one shake with dread when their side heads to PayPal Park, like Sporting Kansas City will this Saturday for a 9pm battle.
