San Jose Earthquakes play in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer and have done since the league’s creation in 1996, although they were known as the San Jose Clash back then. Before being a part of MLS, the Quakes had roots in the North American Soccer League from 1974 to 1993 and boasted of having the legendary, and now deceased, George Best on the books. Best scored 21 goals in 56 games for the Quakes and an incredible 33 goals in 21 games playing indoor soccer.
The Earthquakes took part in the first soccer game in MLS history, beating D.C. United 1-0. Since then, the Quakes have won two MLS Cup titles, in 2001 and 2003, and secured a brace of Supporters’ Shields, in 2005 and 2012.
After the 2005 season, the franchise took a two-season hiatus from MLS as the then-owner relocated the team to Houston and created an expansion team that would eventually be known as the Houston Dynamo.
Since returning to the MLS ins 2008, with the exception of winning the Supporters’ Shield in 2012, the Earthquakes have not got anywhere near their previous high finishing positions. In fact, since that brilliant 2012 season, the Quakes have finished sixth, ninth, seventh and ninth, the latter being the result of an 8-12-14 record in 2016. In 2022, they were at the bottom of the Western Conference.
