Soccer America covers Quakes
The MLS regular season is inching closer and, with games scheduled tomorrow in San Francisco and next weekend in San Luis Obispo, we're starting to get some opportunities to see for ourselves how the team is shaping up.
So is Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney, who takes a look at the Quakes this week in his MLS team preview series. Mahoney talks about this week's signing of Ramiro Corrales with both the player himself and coach Frank Yallop, and also queries the head man on some of the trialists at camp, including former Rapid Fabrice Noel. Yallop also states that he is looking forward to the opportunity to poach some players dropped from other MLS teams on March 1, the deadline for roster and salary cap compliance in MLS. (Normally, the idea of picking up castoffs from other clubs wouldn't be very exciting, but in light of Yallop's past successes with players like Brian Ching, Brian Mullan, and Craig Waibel, we've got our fingers crossed that Yallop can find some more rough diamonds in the mix.)
Mahoney is one of the best MLS writers around and provides some good info in today's story, so it's well worth a read.
