This afternoon, San Jose makes its first trip to RFK since 2005. The Earthquakes have struggled in the season's early going, putting together a record of 3-7-2 and managing to only score nine goals all year. United will be without Santino Quaranta (yellow card accumulation), but sees the return of Marcelo Gallardo and Bryan Namoff to the lineup, after each sat out last game due to red card suspension.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. The game can be seen in Spanish on Telefutura and locally in English on Comcast SportsNet.
