The San Jose Earthquakes are one of Major League Soccer’s charter members. Founded by Daniel Van Voorhis, the club started in 1996 as the San Jose Clash under their first coach, Laurie Calloway. In their first game (which was also the first MLS game), they defeated DC United 1-0.

Over the next decade, the club won several Supporters Shields and MLS Cups, appearing in several playoffs and CONCACAF Championship games.

Over the course of the Quakes’ time in the MLS, some of the best coaches came to lead the team, like Dominic Kinnear and Frank Yallop. Dominic Kinnear is the fifth-winningest coach with a whopping 170 victories to his name.

The San Jose Earthquakes have plenty of skilled athletes on their roster. As rosters change, the best players in a club may go to other clubs or retire — but some players will live on in the history books forever. Here are some of the best Earthquakes throughout the years.

1. Landon Donovan played for the San Jose Earthquakes in the early 2000s on loan from Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen. The athlete made the MLS record for greatest all-time goals and helped lead the Quakes to their MLS Cup wins. Stoking the flames of the LA Galaxy vs. Earthquakes rivalry, Donovan switched to play for the Galaxy in 2005.
2. Jeff Agoos is one of the leading defenders of all time who helped strengthen the Earthquakes' backline. Agoos performed as captain during the 2001 and 2003 MLS title games and earned the 2001 MLS Defender of the Year award. He was also a part of the 2001 MLS Best XI team. The defender scored five goals and made eight assists in 84 games playing for the Quakes.
3. Ronald Cerritos was one of the Quakes' best leading forwards of all time who is truly a San Jose legend. The defender was part of the 1997 MLS Best XI team and scored 61 goals and made 47 assists.

San Jose has some of the most compelling games in MLS history. These are just a few:

1. 2003 Western Conference Semifinals: The San Jose Earthquakes vs. the LA Galaxy matchup was one of the most historical games in the MLS. The two clubs faced each other in a two-game aggregate goal series where the Galaxy dominated the Quakes in the first game. Rodrigo Faria helped the Quakes seal a major comeback victory by making an overtime goal. Weeks later, the Quakes secured their second MLS Cup.
2. 2012 regular season at Stanford Stadium: The San Jose vs. LA Galaxy game on June 30 concluded with a spectacular domination of longtime rival the Galaxy. The Quakes defeated the Galaxy 4-3 in front of a crowd of more than 60,000.

Of course, any Earthquakes game can be memorable if you’re watching it from the stands, whether you’re at their home stadium or taking in the action at BMO Stadium, Lumen Field, or another arena near you.

The San Jose Earthquakes have many rivals, including the Seattle Sounders. Still, among the San Jose club’s biggest rivals is none other than the Los Angeles Galaxy. The rivalry is called the California Clasico, putting the best of the Quakes vs. the best of the Galaxy in the ultimate battle of SoCal vs. NorCal. These teams met in the MLS playoffs many times, and we can’t wait to see it happen again.

The California Clasico is one of the greatest rivalries in the MLS; many think it’s the rivalry of all rivalries. The LA Galaxy has the edge over the San Jose Earthquakes in terms of MLS Cup titles, holding the most in the league.

The San Jose Earthquakes play home games at the Paypal Park Stadium in San Jose, California. The stadium, like most home arenas in the MLS, is a soccer-specific stadium that enhances the best parts of watching this beautiful game unfold, whether they’re taking on big name rivals like the LA Galaxy or duking it out with other MLS teams including the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Sporting Kansas City, or even the New York Red Bulls..
