Home of the San Jose Earthquakes football team of MLS. It's safe to say that the vast majority of people on this planet know San Jose for the Earthquakes. Founded in 1974 in the old NASL, where San Jose lead the League in attendance (till Pele and Beckenbauer went to NY Cosmos). The MLS Earthquakes hosted MLS' inaugural game in 1996 beating DC United 1-0, as the San Jose Clash, a name that Nike USA insisted the San Jose team carry, thus alienating the thousands of original fans who didn't bother going to see the new team. In 2000, new owners reverted to the original name, but astonishingly chose new colors and a new logo. Two MLS Cups followed. Greats to play for The Quakes include Jimmy Johnstone, George Best, Paul Child, Johnny Moore, Landon Donovan, and Darren Huckerby to name a few. San Jose Earthquakes is the oldest name in Division 1 "soccer" in the United States.

Get the San Jose mug.
The capital of Silicon Valley. The nation's 10th largest city and 3rd largest in California. The city and its suburbs are home to more high-tech and web-based corporations than anywhere else in the United States including HP, Yahoo!, Google, Intel, Macintosh and Cisco. The city has a very high cost of living and is among America's most expensive to live. Although one of America's largest cities, it has a low crime rate and no skyscrapers but has a diverse population, traffic congestion and air pollution.
San Jose is nice if you make mega bucks working in its high-tech corporations but dam if you don't. San Jose would suck for me. I don't have a lot of money and can't stand diversity.
