What they'res saying about Quakes-Columbus

San Jose Earthquakes vs. Columbus Crew
7 p.m. (sun or no sun) at Buck Shaw Stadium

• Major League Soccer's Simon Borg had harsh words for...the sun? Borg suggested that matches should be moved to a later time to prevent teams from gaining a competitive advantage when the sun sets over the North End of Buck Shaw Stadium. Wednesday night's coin toss is, apparently, a must-see event
• Borg's information stemmed from an article written by the San Jose Mercury News' Elliott Almond. And, in other news, the San Jose Earthquakes are hosting the Eastern Conference leading Columbus Crew on Wednesday (some might say the sun has created an eclipse over an otherwise highly-intriguing match between quality soccer teams)
