In this episode, Dominic Kinnear is out as head coach of the Quakes. There is no joy or celebration from this difficult move but now the Quakes must move on with the next chapter in their history. Also, if this team wins the US Open Cup but misses the playoffs, would that be the most Quakes-like thing they have done in their history?

This week, the International break gives me more time to complain and I take full advantage. I also give a quick rundown of the American soccer pyramid before jumping into an update on the Burlingame Dragons.

This week, I have a new enemy in Jelle Van Damme after the Quakes lose the Clasico at home.
