En attendant le coup d’envoi de la saison 2011 de MLS le 15 mars prochain, MLS News.fr vous présente les 18 franchises du championnat. Ce jeudi, les San José Earthquakes.Un peu d’histoire San José fut parmi les dix villes ayant obtenu une franchise fondatrice en Major League Soccer en 1996. A l’époque, la franchise californienne s’appelait San José Clash. Le Clash a vécu jusqu’en 1999, avant de changer son nom en l'actuel Earthquakes (tremblements de terre), hommage à l'ancêtre de NASL qui a sévit de 1974 à 1984. Mais en 2005 le coach, son staff et les joueurs furent tous déplacés à Houston sous l’impulsion du propriétaire de l’époque, AEG, et de la MLS, créant ainsi la franchise du Houston Dynamo. Laissé en jachère pendant deux ans, San José est revenu en MLS en 2008, grâce à Lew Wolff, actionnaire majoritaire de l’équipe de baseball des Oakland Athletics. Désormais, le club appartient à Earthquakes Soccer, LLC. Le stade Le principal argument pour retirer à San José sa franchise en 2005 était l’absence de stade dédié au soccer. Depuis 2008, les Quakes possèdent leur propre écrin: le Buck Show Stadium de Santa Clara, dans la banlieue de San José. 10 000 places seulement. Mais la cité californienne aura bientôt un stade digne de ce nom, puisque la construction d’un nouveau domicile de 15 000 places proche de l’aéroport est lancée depuis 2009 pour la modique somme de 60 millions de dollars. Celui-ci sera inauguré en 2013. Les grands joueurs Les Quakes ont vu défiler pas mal de bons joueurs, surtout avant que la franchise ne soit transférée en partie chez les Texans d'Houston: les internationaux américains Eric Wynalda (1996–99), Wade Barrett (1998–02 et 2005), Jimmy Conrad (1999–02), Jeff Agoos (2001–04) ou Landon Donovan (2001–04), qui y a fait ses débuts en MLS. Lors de la migration à Houston, San José a perdu plusieurs bons éléments, comme l’actuel buteur du Dynamo Brian Ching (2003–05) et l’attaquant canadien Dwayne De Rosario (2001–05). Les Quakes ont aussi vu passer quelques étrangers, comme l’Iranien Khodadad Azizi (2000) et les Brésiliens Geovanni et Eduardo (2010), respectivement passés par Barcelone et Toulouse. Le palmarès Depuis qu’il a été mis en veille, San José n’a plus rien gagné. Ses derniers titres remontent au début de la dernière décennie. Les San José Earthquakes, emmenés par un certain Landon Donovan, ont raflé les éditions 2001 et 2003 de la MLS Cup. La saison passée, San José a atteint les demi-finales, éliminé par les Colorado Rapids après s’être pourtant défait des New York Red Bulls. Les Quakes n’ont également jamais remporté l’Open Cup, dont ils n’ont jamais dépassé les demi-finales. C’était en 2004. Bon à savoir... Les Quakes sont affiliés au club anglais de Tottenham. L’ancien Marseillais, Parisien et Ajaccien André Luiz évolue au club depuis juillet 2009 (lire l'interview ici). Le rival absolu du club est le Los Angeles Galaxy.
