The San Jose Earthquakes have a home for most of their matches next season as they will play at
Buck Shaw Stadium on the campus of the Santa Clara University. This stadium currently holds between
6,800-8,800, however upgrades might take place for MLS games. The team will play 'bigger' opponents
at a larger, yet to be announced, stadium.
As you can tell from the picture, Shaw was built as a multi-sport facility.
And the trading of the Wells is done.
Bobby Boswell, the 2006 MLS defender of the year, is heading out of the nation's capitol for the
warmer weather in Houston. In return, United gets goalkeeper Zach Wells.
First off, this is an excellent trade for both teams. With Cochrane moving on to San Jose, the
Dynamo need a good center back and although Boswell did not have a great 2007 campaign, he still
has the talent and will probably recover in 2008, while United got a keeper to replace Troy Perkins
when he jumps to Europe during the winter transfer window.
After a disgusting first half, England looked reborn in the second thanks in large part to the work
of Beckham (sub at the half) and Peter Crouch. They were down 2-0 at the half way mark, but they
were able to fight back into it thanks to a pk and a fantastic cross from Beckham to Crouch's
chest, but in the end a horrible night by Wyde Bridge and Scott Carson, combined with plenty of
other poor play are the reason England will not be in Switzerland/Austria next summer.
The 2007 season might only be three weeks past, but it is time to look forward to 2008. MLS
