Will San Jose lose one of their players in the expansion draft? (Getty Images)
Today is the final day in our expansion draft coverage/speculation/etc. as we look at three
clubs. First up this morning is the San Jose Earthquakes. Later on today I will have Seattle
Sounders FC and Toronto FC to round out the lists.
From the San Jose Earthquakes Front Office, the team has signed Canadian national team midfielder
Antonio Ribeiro. Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. He will count as
an international on the Earthquakes senior roster.
"Antonio has a good engine and covers a lot of ground," said general manager of soccer operations
John Doyle.
Remember that roster spot which opened up when San Jose traded Nick Garcia to Toronto? Well it
looks as though they are poised to fill it:

There was one match on Wednesday night in Major League Soccer as FC Dallas traveled to face the
San Jose Earthquakes. It was a must win for Dallas to keep their playoff hopes alive. Here's a

It's hard to decline as a club after being an expansion team in 2008 but the 2009 version of the
San Jose Earthquakes did just that. They became the first team to lose more in their second season
than in their expansion season.
