Earthquakes hope to shake up West against L.A.
Soccer Betting Lines
07/21/2010 -
Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Jose slumped into the World Cup break last
month on a three-game winless streak, but the Earthquakes have resembled their
early-season form since Major League Soccer resumed in late June.
In addition to two ties and a win in its last three MLS games, San Jose took a
break from league play to post an impressive draw against England's Tottenham.
"I'm very impressed with them," Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp said on the MLS
website after the 0-0 draw on Saturday at Buck Shaw Stadium.
The Earthquakes (6-4-4) visit the Los Angeles Galaxy on Thursday night at The
Home Depot Center, and midfielder Bobby Convey believes San Jose has no reason
to fear the MLS overall leader.
"Obviously, L.A. is one of the best teams in the league right now. If we can
play against [Tottenham], I don't see why we shouldn't be able to play against
L.A.," Convey, second in MLS with eight assists, said on the MLS website.
San Jose is fifth in the Western Conference, 17 points behind Los Angeles, but
has played fewer matches than every team in the division. The Earthquakes have
played three fewer matches than L.A., and can make another statement in league
play this week.
Coach Frank Yallop has guided the Earthquakes to 22 points already, just eight
less than all of last season in 16 more matches. San Jose has played well away
from home so far, posting a 3-2-2 mark - identical to its home record.
Yallop was extremely pleased with the performance against Tottenham, and hopes
San Jose builds on the result against L.A.
"Obviously this is preseason for [Tottenham] and we know that, but I think a
few years ago you see teams get beat in these types of matches. We're not easy
to beat now," Yallop said on the league's website.
L.A. (12-2-3) has set the standard this season in MLS under Bruce Arena, going
unbeaten at home in seven matches to accumulate the best record in the league.
The Galaxy even survived a stretch without stars Landon Donovan, who leads MLS
with 10 assists, and Edson Buddle, who leads MLS with 11 goals. Both were with
the United States for the World Cup.
L.A. won just one of four matches from June 9 to July 10, the last a 2-0 loss
to the New England Revolution, but Donovan and Buddle both scored Sunday night
as the Galaxy rebounded with a 2-1 win at D.C. United.
"You're going to lose games along the way, and the way you respond in the next
game is important," Arena said. "Our response was really good."
