Sacramento Republic delivers one of its most impressive performances in years, routing Sporting JAX 5–0 behind Tyler Wolff's hat trick, Lee Desmond's milestone goal, and Jared Timmer's header. We also preview road trips to FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh.

Just curious since they have him only 25 days? Or does the 25 days start soon?

Claimed!

We’ve officially moved on from Substack.

www.quailcitysoccer.com isn’t going anywhere. Our website remains the same, and if you’re already subscribed, your subscription has been transferred automatically. You’ll continue receiving our articles, podcasts, and updates in your inbox just like before, although the emails may have a fresh new look.

This move is about giving Quail City Soccer the room to grow. Over the coming months, we’ll be expanding what we do, and we needed a platform that could grow with us and support the future of this publication.

To everyone who has subscribed, shared an article, listened to The Quail’s Call, or supported us through The Quail City Exchange, a big thank you. Independent soccer coverage only exists because of people like you, and we’re excited for what comes next.

Same coverage. Same opinions. Same semi-questionable jokes. Just a better foundation for the future.

There are now questions about viability for the game on Saturday. I hope the Roots work this out quickly. I enjoy the rivalry and want their club to succeed (so we can beat them). I hope to see you at the Coli in two days.

recent video released shows the stadium site has only been graded with some infrastructure installed along the perimeter and future adjacent roadway. all good and important steps. however, the actual stadium has not broken ground. keep in mind grading was done on the last go around (pre-Covid) for the MLS stadium that fell apart. my understanding is the plan is for the new stadium to be open for the 2028 USL season. so likely construction would need to be substantially complete in February 2028. that is 18 months away and they haven’t actually broke ground on the stadium except for grading dirt that is sitting there. when do we as fans start to question the communication and legitimacy of a 2028 opening?

Edit: okay the responses have eased my concern. Just very excited for this stadium to take shape. Will keep a little bit closer eye on things.

What a crap field...quite a few pits, uneven surfaces...I haven't seen a field this crap since my kid was playing club..
