'Quakes Busch hopes to get second start vs. United

Soccer Betting Lines

07/02/2010 - Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Jose Earthquakes have had steady goalkeeping all season with Joe Cannon between the pipes.

But with former Chicago Fire 'keeper Jon Busch getting his first start last weekend in a scoreless draw vs. defending MLS Cup Champions Real Salt Lake, things could be ratcheted up to the next level.

Busch was spectacular, earning the clean sheet in his first start with his new club.

"This is what you get paid to do," he told mlssoccer.com. "You get paid to be prepared. You never know what's going to happen at any point of the season. You never know when you're going to get your opportunity."

Busch may get another opportunity on Saturday, when the 'Quakes (5-4-3) host D.C. United in a Major League Soccer match.

"Jon's shown over the years that he's good in MLS," San Jose coach Frank Yallop told mlssoccer.com. "Sometimes you get to use those [backups]. He did very well."

"I've never said I need to be the No. 1 goalkeeper," Busch said. "I think a goalkeeper needs to prove it game in and game out, and day in and day out in training. If Frank wants to name me [vs. D.C. United], fantastic. But I never look ahead of one game at a time. I have to prove myself every game."

United (3-9-1), on the other hand, will be trying to rebound from a tough loss at Columbus as it aims to climb out of the Eastern basement. That loss snapped a three-game unbeaten run that included two if the club's three wins this season.

United will have to find a way to get back on track without midfielder Brandon Barklage, forward Luciano Emilio, and defenders Bryan Namoff, Carey Talley and Rodney Wallace because of injury. Defenders Marc Burch and Julius James are also questionable with knocks.

San Jose will be without midfielder Andre Luiz, while midfielders Arturo Alvarez and Joey Gjertsen, and forwards Eduardo and Scott Sealy are questionable.
