Well, that didn’t go according to plan. The San Jose Earthquakes and their fans did not exactly have a trip to remember in the Rose City last weekend, as a thorny 1-0 loss to the Portland Timbers punctuated by Alan Gordon’s red card and blue language was forgettable but not to be forgotten. The same two teams will do battle again this weekend at Buck Shaw, with the Quakes looking to take a measure of revenge against a team they have failed to beat in six matches all-time. To tackle the news and views of the Black and Blues, CLS Radio roundtable standbys Robert Jonas and Lisa Erickson welcome venerable Center Line Soccer match reporter Pete Ratajczak to his first show. And rest assured, it will not be his last. Questions for the roundtable? Send them to CLSRoundtable@gmail.com and listen out for next week’s episode.
