This Week 3-21-22

Our weekend coverage was at Redwood City for Bay Cities vs Xolos Tijuana of Liga MX–in this case their U23 team and the Beach Chalet in San Francisco for City against Olympic Club.

For now, we’ll post the takes from Quakesfan on the Quakes loss to Minnesota 1-0 (too brief but enough for a mic drop) and the Oakland Roots blog on their 2-1 loss to Memphis 901 (the full skinny on the match).

This Week 3-14-22

Our coverage this week was at Redwood City with Bay Cities on Saturday and at San Francisco with the City reserves on Sunday.

The Quakes lose to the Philadelphia Union 2-0 on the road, and are still winless in their 2022 season–with only a draw to the Crew as their only tangible result.  They hope to get into the win column at St. Paul against Minnesota United on Saturday March 19 at 5pm.

Quakesfan has the critique on the Quakes swing against Philly.  It is a hard look at the team right now but we will be honest–it is worth the academic read in the classic columnist/editorial style.  Once more the team could be in for a very long season after only three games.

SF City (SFSFL) v Club Marin

In their second game back in the SFSFL Premier Division (Tier 1) SF City got off to an early lead, only to lose that towards the end of the first half and 60 minutes into the game.  The final result was a 2 to 1 defeat.  With their draw against Mexicali in their 2022 return/debut the team currently has one point in the standings.

Once again our set is here on the cloud.  All the original photos and Instagram takes are on here.

This Week 3-7-22

This week’s coverage was from San Jose, where the Quakes came back in dramatic fashion to draw 3-3 against Columbus.

We were able to catch SWPL action nearby with AFC South Bay hosting the JASA U23s.

We were unable to hit San Francisco to see the City reserves play against Mexicali FC but a 2-2 draw fresh off promotion back into the Premier Division is a respectable result.

The usual from Quakesfan – we’re going to say get Dan back into press row!

Quakes v Crew

Despite very chippy play and a red card to Jamiro Monteiro in the 33rd minute and losing the lead, the Quakes come back and salvage a point with a 3-3 draw.

The Quakes got off to a 1-0 lead thanks to a Cristian Espinoza penalty kick at the  9th minute, but the Crew scored three answered goals thanks to Lucas Zelarayan in the 40th and 73rd minutes with Gyasi Zardes adding a tally as a substitute in the 68th minute.

The Quakes were able to come back and grab a point thanks to Francisco Calvo scoring in the 84th minute and six minutes into stoppage time.  Jan Gregus provided the assists on both goals.

Our selection is here – more can be found on the 3pointsport gram.

The Quakes will go on the road for the first time in 2022 when they visit Philadelphia on Saturday March 12 4:30 PST kickoff.  The Crew will return home and host Toronto on the same day 10:30am PST.
