There has to be a better way of including the NASL stuff (or better yet, not including it and making a seperate article). It's just messy and confusing as it is. Spejic 07:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
This page should be put alongside TB and MIA in the "defunct franchises" section. That's because their history will be considered seperate from the new Houston team. -- Scaryice 03:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
The Houston article is now at Houston MLS, it should be moved once the team gets a name. -- DR31 ( talk) 14:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I propose we split the article into two. The NASL franchise has no connection with the MLS franchise beyond the name, so it doesn't make sense to include them in the same article. Most NASL franchises have their own articles, so the San Jose/Golden Bay Earthquakes should too. Thoughts? Objections? | Mr. Darcy talk 17:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
The San Jose Earthquakes (NASL team) should be put back here. It should match up with other soccer pages. The Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers pages all have information about both their NASL and USL-1 teams. This page should not be an exception to the rule. KitHutch 17:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
The picture of the home/away shirts, while much prettier than the hodgepodge approximations we have usually on team's websites, they are eggregiously outdated and are in serious need of update. Can someone with a little more technical skill work on this? -- Grant . Alpaugh 15:51, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
How many references do we need on the "current roster" section? There are currently seven references before a single player is listed. We should need only one or two, I would think. Gentgeen ( talk) 07:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Which is it? All the US based leagues are using the following "The San Jose Earthquakes are a soccer team". However MLS is using "San Jose is a team". I'd say the former is correct since Earthquakes is plural and refers to a collection of players not a single entity. Thoughts? Gateman1997 ( talk) 01:27, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
We seem to have a couple of guys listed as "notable former players" who played 20-something, 30-something games for the club, had no caps of any kind, no wider fame, and no special notability. Dave Salzwedel and Tom Liner, for instance. I'll leave it to SJ fans to figure out who they find notable, of course, but I would suggest a bit of a trim. Mr. IP 《 Defender of Open Editing》 02:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Your club doesn't yet have a 2009 Season article, we are hoping to get each of the MLS teams up and going like these; Sounders, Fire, Dynamo, Wizards, and TFC. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at anytime. Thanks Morry32 ( talk) 01:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Talk:New York Red Bulls#conference champions
just adding a link to a centralized discussion on division champions conventions. Please post comments there.

There was a discussion about the new roster format and we have had a trial at both the Timbers and Whitecaps articles and recently Cascadia Cup rival Sounders have converted. The idea is to move all club articles on Wikipedia to the new format as is discussed in the original discussion and more recently at the football project.
My suggestion is to complete the MLS team articles first, so if you could respond at this discussion, that would be ideal. In short, the new layout is slightly taller and less wide, but it correctly impliments WP:MOSFLAG and is better for visually impared users of Wikipedia and others who use readers. I plan to implement the change to this article by the weekend of January 20-22, however other editors could make the change sooner. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:51, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

This recent addition is fraught with ambiguities. First who considers it to be the largest? Answer that and the second part of the tag may not need to be added. Also how do you define the size of the rivalry. The Cascadaia Cup involves three teams and so is larger by scale of the number of teams (and players involved). The number of fans invlolved is likely fewer, but we need an objective measure. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 20:06, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Read the articles in the links and you tell me if it still isnt the biggest. RealEarthquake ( talk) 20:30, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
In case anyone feels like adding it, here is a fun team photo from Lenhart Wig Night.

Anyone want to discuss this? As with all clubs, the color chosen on the squad templates is the primary and secondary kit colors, but for some reason it keeps getting reversed for San Jose. I know a lot of fans like the blue for San Jose, but it's not accurate, is it? What do people think? UncleTupelo1 ( talk) 00:48, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
The Vancouver Southsiders have the sort of references required for this section. One MLS team article has a link to the club's website that lists the official supporters groups. Both of those would be fine. The Crazy George site is enough to be verifiable, but not reliable. A third-party writing that he does would be fine. I know that the media in Vancouver has mentioned his attendance at BC Lions games. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 21:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
Anon has once again decided to edit war over material that explains the rivalry in detail. Anon added similar sections to the Seattle Sounders-Portland Timbers page which was great. Not sure why anon thinks it doesn't belong here, on the rivalry article or on the LA page. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 07:21, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Aside from being unreferenced, it's not standard. Most attendance figures only focus on home matches, not including away, which seems to be the case here. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 18:03, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

April 15, 2017, May 22, 2017, and there are others. A simple Google search will show that the title is still used. I can't reference it, but one of the announcers for the Whitecaps still uses the term at least once per match during games between the two sides. Even if it were no longer used, it was a nickname and the article explains the context better. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 05:14, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
