Episode Details

San Jose Earthquakes just pulled off a major coup by signing 21-year-old Luka Jovanović, Australia’s top scorer last season with 11 goals, to a U-22 contract. Already a proven goal machine with 23 goals in 77 games, Jovanović brings international youth team experience and is primed to ignite the Quakes’ attack. With the team already third in MLS for goals scored and key offensive players departing, Jovanović’s arrival is a statement. Coach Bruce Arena raves about his potential, work ethic, and scoring touch. Meanwhile, the defense is being rebuilt with long-term signings of Benji Kikanović, Jamar Ricketts, and Reid Roberts, plus new keeper Angus Gunn. The Quakes are also cashing in, trading Daniel to FC Dallas for up to $1M in allocation money. They’re back in action next week against Orlando and then face the LA Galaxy in a big California Clasico — a season that’s shaping up to be anything but ordinary.
