By: Andrea | Comments 1 Comment

According to several media outlets Arias has been dismissed as Chivas manager.

He’s been fired with three games to go in the Apertura 2009. Arias is the second manager fired this tournament. Chivas won three games, lost three and drew one.

The administration hasn’t said anything yet.

Jose Luis Real is rumored to be the interim manager for the last games.

Keep watching as the drama unfolds.

Post Halloween Chivas Were Still Impersonating A Different Team

By: Andrea | Comments Add Comments

3395  68170904DI APER SOC LEONChivas lost. Again. Is anyone surprised? Even the slightest bit?

Yeah, me either.

I’m not even sure what happened here. Everything was going along well(as much as that word can mean for Chivas at the moment) and then BAM! 1-1, 2-1, 3-1.

There were some wacky moments but they don’t really justify what went on. Read the rest of this entry »

Black Sunday

By: Andrea | Comments 7 Comments

Arias buscó darle orden a su equipo después del gol BravoWell…that didn’t go too well.

Chivas lost. Yes, lost. And against America which makes it even worse.

However, in this mediocre league that takes place in Mexico there is some good news.

Good news when Chivas lost against America, the most hated rival? How can that be? Read the rest of this entry »

Tragedy Hits the Chivas Family

By: Andrea | Comments 1 Comment

Imagen Descanse en paz Dr HerreraRest in peace, Doctor Ricardo Herrera.

In the early hours of the morning the Chivas U-17 bus was struck by a cargo truck. Dr. Ricardo Herrera died at the scene due to a traumatic brain injury.

Two players were injured, as well as the physical trainer and the manager.

Oscar Torres and Cesar Vasquez received facial injuries. Corazein Pardo was injured as well. As of now, it seems like manager Manuel Martinez received the most serious injuries, suffering from a lower brain stem injury. He has gone through surgery, and according to Jorge Vergara is expected to be fine. Those four in the most critical condition are reported to be stable now at the hospital.

The driver disappeared from the scene, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The team was coming back from a 2-3 win at Torreon, and the U-20 bus was following close by and witnessed the accident as well.

Games are subject to change for the lower division teams, although that decision will be made later when the conditions of the players are better accounted for.

As for now, rest in peace Ricardo Herrera.

A game on Monday means a day less to feel the pain

By: Andrea | Comments Add Comments

Pray for us ChicharoThe game was played on Monday because of local elections in Torreon. That didn’t really matter. Chivas lost. Would Chivas have lost if the game had been on Sunday? Nah, probably not.

Santos have been on a climb, so they most likely would have continued had it taken place over the weekend.

On a three game streak

By: Andrea | Comments Add Comments

Javier Hernández se colocó como segundo mejor romperedesThat’s three games without a loss. THREE. More actually, if you want to throw in the midweek US tour friendlies. But those are the stats in the Liga. Where it really matters. Sure, they’ve been surrounded by great luck in Chivas’ favor. I can’t really complain.

But, I can complain about how the team’s been playing.

The Pink Ribbon Made Chivas Win

By: Andrea | Comments Add Comments

Chicharo celebratesThe Raul Arias stereotype has set in, hasn’t it?

Chivas did not do well defensively, and were caught several times as they tried to come up with opportunities.

The goats came up against one of the best teams so far in the Apertura 2009, but managed to scrape a win. At home.

Where’s the Real Team?

By: Andrea | Comments 2 Comments

Oh jeeze, that game was horrible. I was surprised that Chivas weren’t completely slaughtered. After the 1-1 draw the Chivas players looked content with a point. Alright, a point is a point but Chivas did not deserve that point.

Chivas didn’t have many opportunities and were lucky that more goals weren’t conceded. Read the rest of this entry »

Chivas vs Chivas…It’s a win-win situation(for Vergara)

By: Andrea | Comments Add Comments

That’s right. Tonight it was Chivas vs Chivas. Chivas USA, that is.

The ‘ChivaClasico’ took place at the Rose Bowl in front of an outstanding crowd of just over 20,000! Can you believe it? I can’t. Chivas have not been performing so it was surprising that people went to see them play. Nevertheless, the original Chivas won the game 2-0. As visitors the original Chivas wore the horrible orange away kits and let Chivas USA wear the traditional stripes.

Oh, and Marco Fabian made an incredible fool out of himself. Read the rest of this entry »
