Despite not exactly being a household name in MLS, the San Jose Earthquakes’ retiring Ramiro Corrales (first row, second from right) received a memorable sendoff in his last ever match as a professional footballer. With the Quakes all but eliminated from playoff contention ahead of their season-capping match against FC Dallas, the defender was handed […]
el clásico tranquilo
As a dedicated fan of the beautiful game, no matter who you support, there are a number of dates each year that just about all of us circles on our calendars as “can’t miss” matches.
