On the San Jose Earthquakes podcast with Ana:

1. The Earthquakes head to Children’s Mercy Park to take on Sporting Kansas City this Saturday at 5:30 pm PT. What are your three keys to the game?

2. Magnus Eriksson and the Quakes visited the San Jose Sharks last week at the SAP Center. It was an epic meeting between two of San Jose’s finest.

3. Francois Affolter turned 27 yesterday. What else can you say about the Swiss defender?

4. The Quakes seem to be trying to get more people to attend their games as they recently introduced their SJ Squad Goals program, which provides exclusive benefits for fans bringing their friends and family to the matches this season. Tell me more about the program.

5. Reno 1868 FC signed Kevin Partida, pending league and federation approval, according to the Quakes’ announcement yesterday. Partida, a third-round pick in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft, returned home to northern Nevada, where he’s practicing with the team.
