The new kids in town, San Diego FC , take their first-ever trip to San Jose this weekend, making their Bay Area bows against the San Jose Earthquakes for our Matchday 29 Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire clash at PayPal Park (7 pm ET | MLS Season Pass, Apple TV+ ).

San Diego have figured things out as quickly as any expansion team in MLS history, and currently lead the Western Conference with 49 points. They’ve exhibited a level of tactical clarity that's remarkable in any side, let alone an expansion team.

The hosts are looking for the same. Bruce Arena has done good work trying to reboot the Quakes during his first year in charge, but they are still a chaos engine at times.

And that makes them fun! Fun is good. Players in focus
