The CRAZIEST Season In MLS History

[@dantecorona7883]

As a Quakes fan the 2012 season was awesome! It was too bad that afterwards they sold off a lot of those players and didn’t get many good replacements

[@glennaldosf]

Wondolowski is kind of the Jamie Vardy of the MLS....

[@ricardobanuelos4640]

Imo, more like a alan shearer, or Matt le tasier

[@glennaldosf]

@ricardobanuelos4640 I mean in the sense that he was a late bloomer. His breakout season came in 2010 I believe when he was already 27 years old...

[@thunderchild1083]

Being English I remember when Wimbledon moved and became the MK Don's, people weren't happy. People in America seem to be much more acceptable to their teams changing than over here

[@dannytradio]

It's definitely more acceptable here, unfortunately. Although I encourage you to check out the Save The Crew story in MLS. The owner of the Columbus Crew had attempted to move the team to Austin, TX, and the fans fought back and actually won. That owner did eventually get a new team in Austin... but after new owners came in and bought the Crew to keep them in Columbus. One of the biggest wins for fans in MLS

[@Theneckofthrogs]

Thanks for making this video mate! As an NYCFC fan born in '95, I only began paying attention to other MLS teams around the early 2000s, so seeing videos like these that teaches myself and others about the amazing history of the league is awesome. Keep up the great work man!

The Steven Beitashour effect 🐐

[@DomP2314]

Mannn the Quakes frustrated the hell out of me. The Galaxy(the team I support) would always blow leads to them in the regular season. Like we knew we were better, but the Quakes would grab results out of no where. It was so sweet to knock them out of the playoffs. 😅 Also, Galaxy fans were furious when we traded for Alan Gordon two years later. He won everyone over and was easily a fan favorite for us too.

[@misaelcardenas6343]

this 2012 season was my first time following the quakes and man how i miss it

[@usasupersoccer]

Quakes fan here! Thanks for posting this video. For me, San Jose Earthquakes 2001-2005 was one of the best MLS teams in history.

[@BillReeves_sc]

Thank you for this video. The 2012 season was magic for us San Jose fans, and you absolutely nailed it. Respect to the Galaxy with whom we used to have an actual rivalry - Robbie Keane went to LA to chew bubblegum and win trophies, and he ran out of bubblegum right before that playoff game.

[@mlssidelinereports]

Another great vid! Alan Gordon is still the king of the late-game goal 🔥

[@dannytradio]

He was so fun to watch. He was kind of a late bloomer because early on he didn't do a lot of damage. But he turned it on in 2012 and beyond!

[@pahwraith]

Me before clicking: This was the bash brothers extra time season wasnt it? Alan Gordon, Lenhart and Wondo in extra time were absolutely menaces. It reminds me of the Chicago bears 2001 regular season.

[@sergjim2377]

As a quakes fan the beginning made me cry acceptance is a mofo

[@ync_07cas11]

Not a Quakes fan but I’m glad they’re doing so good rn👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dannytradio]

I hope they keep it up and make the playoffs

[@michaelfarrow5817]

This is the MLS I miss. The Quakes full backs were Justin Morrow and Steven Beitashour, both of whom were drafted in the second round in 2010. Beitashour's draft pick was a makeweight in the Cam Weaver-Chris Wondolowski trade, which made it the most lopsided trade where one team thought they were doing the hosing and ended up getting hosed. The breakout star player was Simon Dawkins, who prior to this had been released and re-signed by Spurs and failed to impress Leyton Orient on trial. Lots of American players, acquired through trades and the draft. Obscure foreigners looking to use MLS to build their careers. It's not the same anymore and the national team suffers as a result.

[@LSPAlan]

2012 was crazy I thank the community center near my house for always taking us to the home games

[@Chilango16510]

Hello every. San Jose earthquakes dan here. Survivor of the 2018 season. Love your content Danny

[@stephensoto4310]

I’m a San Jose native and fan of the team, we’re actually in the top spot challenging for a top three spot. Christian Espinoza and Jeremy Ebobisee are lighting it up for the teem contributing to most goals this season. Here’s hoping 🤞

[@DrPepperone]

Always amazing videos! I didn't know about this. Thank you! :D

[@joebushdotnet]

Great video! That front three of Lenhardt, Gordon, and Wondo didn't play the prettiest brand of soccer but I loved their intensity so much. I see a lot of the Goonies Never Say Die spirit in this year's Quakes, too

[@jerrielexavier]

FINALLY, SOMEBODY SAID IT! As a loyal LA Galaxy Fan. I remember the CALI CLASICO used to be a TV Quality soccer match with usually a major impact on the Western Conference (considering how many blown leads we used to give up to them iykyk). Now, this all-time classic is so sad because they used to be that team to loathe.

[@rockinmel1]

As a Sounders fan, all I can remember of San Jose's 2012 season was what we here call The Battle of Kezar, the USOC quarterfinal match that the Quakes moved to rut-filled Kezar Stadium and the Sounders won 1-0, hanging on to an early goal despite all the Quakes' increasingly hyperphysical play. Those watching the livestream also know this as the Red Question Mark Game (a large stretch of the feed featuring only a red question mark) or The Night Eddie Johnson Killed a Man (Quakes sub came off the bench after the final whistle because he didn't like it that EJ was celebrating, they shoved each other, the Quakes guy fell down, and the livestream announcer declared "Eddie Johnson just punched a Quakes player!" before later backing down from that portrayal). Security had to escort the Sounders players off the pitch, and the traveling supporters had to move their celebrations downtown because the Ultras were on the rampage after the match. Good times.

[@MCH721]

I was a 5 year old when they were winning and going to every game with family, now I can't will myself to go. It's been so bad

[@SubmachineOP]

[@nadaduo1765]

Best part of that season was the Lenhart twerking celly lol

[@nateb9768]

This year we are at least in a better place than last season.

[@shawngillogly6873]

The Browns did have the Brian Sipe era Cardiac Kids. So the similarities run deep. NM, he saw it. Hail the algorithm.

[@SportsFan838]

God I miss the old MLS. Something about the branding the team names were special to me. Nowadays MLS doesn't have the same exact magic as it once did. But I'll still respect this league no matter what happens. A lot of the charter clubs that's still playing till this very day aren't as good as they used to be. Most of the expansion clubs are taking the MLS by storm

[@CLBCrew96]

Not sure if you have yet or not but should do a video on Columbus Crew and how we saved the team and then won MLS cup

[@ahuman2627]

Quakes are back this season 💙💙💙💙

[@ricardobanuelos4640]

Quakes fans rejoice!!!!!!

[@AHomelessShoe]

Great video as always! Also I think you know my two video recommendations at this point.

[@mrmr5580]

Sounds a bit like Man Utd in the 90's/00's, how many times they won due to a last minute goal was uncanny, their sheer resolve won them several titles

[@usasupersoccer]

I hadn't thought about it until I saw this video, but it took LA Galaxy almost a decade to get revenge on The Greatest Comeback.

[@fighterck6241]

9:15 Lenhart was also a dirty player. Gordon to a lesser degree. They were seen as a team that spammed negative tactics and only had one even halfway decent player in Wondolowski.

[@graffbussiere4831]

VAMOS SAN JOSE!!!!!!!!!!!

SJ lost to Chivas USA in their last game ever. That’s more embarrassing than an 0-16 season by Cleveland, and this is coming from a diehard Chivas USA fan

[@colinjohnson8511]

Back when MLS had characters on every team. Hero's and Villians. The quality of football is higher now , but it sure is dull. #MarketingLawyerSoccer
