SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Earthquakes professional soccer team could be a step closer to moving out of San Jose after city officials say talks to keep the team in the city collapsed.
San Jose officials were trying to strike a deal with the owners of the San Jose Sharks hockey team that could have kept the Earthquakes in San Jose.
The owners of the Sharks had indicated interest in buying the Earthquakes if the city would help build a new soccer stadium.
But a city official says talks have come to an end because of disagreements over how to finance the deal.
The Earthquakes' current owner -- Anschutz Entertainment Group -- has received permission from Major League Soccer to move the team to Houston.
The commissioner of Major League Soccer has given the Earthquakes until Thursday to make a decision on a final location.
Now That Really Lamecastic Guys!
