The Fault Line!

It's EarthQuake News people. For those of you that don't know, or it isn't clear. (I was told yesterday this looks like the sac united youth team page, ughhh). This blog is all about Major League Soccer, Soccer in America, and the Soccer Scene here in Sacramento. We hope one day to bring a MLS team here to Sacramento. And personally, we like the name SacUnited for that future (if ever) team.

On to The Fault Line, which is our new and cheesy name for San Jose EarthQuakes News. In a major move reported by the Kansas City Star, and then picked up by a real media outlet, Yahoo, The San Jose Boys apparently traded away the first pick in Friday's SuperDraft to get KC Wizards 1st round pick (circa the year 2000) defender Nick Garcia. You gotta love this picture of him, rocking the bad attitude and funny long soccer guy hair.


Also, if you didn't hear, like last week or so, The Fault Line is happy to announce that the Quakes also picked up spring chicken (well he's actually kind of old) Joe Cannon (pic below) from The Los Angeles Beckhams FC. In return LA recieved allocation money for their many offseason moves to come. Cannon was incredible last year on a terribly defended Galaxy defense, so this is a great move for SJ.
Both are solid pickups, and should round out a good back for San Jose. I am sort of disappointed not to get the kid (who Rick James would definitely call "Darkness") from Virginia Tech, Patrick Nyarko. The kid sounds amazing, and just may be the next Eddie Johnson, and might possibly replace him, (read below).














Speaking of EJ, did you hear that MLS may go through with a transfer offer from Fulham? This would mean that if Nyarko goes to KC, he may take EJ's slot. If so, with EJ, Brian McBride, Carlos Bocanegra, Clint Dempsey, and Kasey Keller, Fulham will easily be my favorite MLS team in all of England!!

Alright, that's it for The Fault Line. Look for more Sexy Soccer Moms tomorrow, and send in your email addresses for the even more!!
