For the #MLS Playoffs, I have reached out to a content creator of every MLS club in playoff contention except for Philadelphia Union, Charlotte FC, Nashville, and Chicago Fire for a debate format playoff edition podcast episode of Tectonic Takes. If you know someone who covers those clubs LMK!

Same old story where this team can’t put a whole season together. That’s the only way things can change from constantly being above/below the playoff line or being miles away.

Beau Leroux goal! Something to cheer for

Whitecaps got a deserved lead, as much as 1-0 down at halftime isn’t the worst possibility for the Quakes, it’s been a let down given how much is at stake for them.

Goals like the one the Quakes just conceded to the Whitecaps are all too frequent an occurrence and are why this feels like a wasted season, whether or not they make the playoffs.

USA beat France 3-0! Between that and their 9-1 win over New Caledonia, that’s a 12-1 aggregate win over France and its overseas territories.

The San Jose Earthquakes will never be normal.

They beat San Diego FC after dropping countless points to teams lower in the table. What’s in store for Vancouver Whitecaps? Abram, Devon, and Ivan have you covered.

Chicho, Martinez, and Espinoza the front 3 with Kikanovic, Roberts, and Floriani among the big calls elsewhere. #SDvSJ

Brady Stewart is out at Bay.

That’s the club CEO and Manager gone this offseason, have to think a complete overhaul is on the cards.

Bay FC has gotten plenty right & are clearly really trying to win, but this team has not played 50 competitive games yet and we've already seen controversy, major soccer-side changes, and two huge swing signings go badly awry.

Absolutely! As much as math is important, sometimes we come to terms with elimination way before the math says so. -Ivan

While our St. Louis City fan guest @hornekerjustin.bsky.social as well as @stlsoccernews.com enjoyed a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, the result means that both clubs have to start assessing their squads for the future as the playoffs become out of reach. youtu.be/KNdKFYa6m94?...

That’s a good reasoning. If it’s close between the two, Arango’s positional versatility can be a tiebreaker

You’ll get Ivan’s thoughts on each #Survivor 49 episode Thursday mornings due to work schedules. Even so, should be a great premiere day!

Would be an interesting exercise to see if they could only keep one of Martinez or Arango who it would be.

Sources: The San Jose Earthquakes have signed forward Preston Judd to a contract extension.

Judd, 26, having his best MLS season with 7g/2a in 976 mins this year. Underlying numbers really strong too.

Talked with the @tectonictakes.bsky.social crew last night and they all pointed to Judd as a Quakes player that has stepped in in a tough stretch.

He’s rewarded for that glow up.

Nick Fernandez makes it 3-0 for the Town. The Bay Area soccer team having the best season.

No matter where Bay FC are in the standings, Rachael Kundananji is worth watching this club!

3-1 down before halftime, not even the most optimistic Quakes fan out there can see a comeback.

Playoff teams don’t concede goals in September to someone making their first professional start.
