For Werner, a move to MLS is basically the "Last Chance U" for his career. RB Leipzig does not want him, he has barely played for months, and his marketability is at an all-time low. There were hopes that he would be able to catch on with a club in the Bundesliga, but nothing has emerged. Now, it appears as if it is MLS or bust.

The San Jose Earthquakes released their 2026 Major League Soccer schedule on Thursday, and while it won't feature another visit from Lionel Messi, a former World Cup Golden Boot winner will be coming to PayPal Park. The Quakes just missed out on the playoffs in 2025, their first season under manager and sporting director Bruce Arena, the league's all-time leader in wins. A white-hot May saw them climb the Western Conference standings, but they won just four of their last 15 MLS matches.

I'm very excited to be coming to San Jose and play in front of the Earthquakes fans. I describe myself as a ball-winner—a guy who breaks the other team's attack and then just gives it to the guys who can go and get the goals.

The San Jose Earthquakes extended their unbeaten streak to four games with a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls, owing to an own goal in the 58th minute. Cristian Espinoza's cross was redirected into the net by New York's Mohammed Sofo. San Jose managed to equalize despite losing DeJuan Jones to a red card late in the match, forcing them to play a man short for the final 26 minutes. Emil Forsberg scored for New York, marking his second consecutive game with a goal, but they remain winless in their last four games.

Bruce Arena expressed his pleasant surprise at Beau Leroux's significant impact this season, highlighting his strong performance and contributions to the team's success with goals and assists.

Max Arfsten's goal in the 61st minute cements a strong performance from the Columbus Crew, who triumphed over the struggling San Jose Earthquakes in a 2-1 victory.
