Chicharito to Manchester United
By: Andrea | 12 Comments
Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez will be a Manchester United player as of July 1, 2010 subject to a successful UK work permit, announced both Manchester United and Chivas de Guadalajara.
“I am delighted to reach agreement with Chivas to bring such an exciting young striker, who has been in such prolific form for both his club and his country,” said Sir Alex Ferguson on the official Manchester United website. “He will be a great addition to our squad and we look forward to welcoming our first Mexican player in the summer.”
The 21-year-old Mexican leading goal scorer with 10 goals, left the Chivas squad after the thirteenth round of play due to an agreement with the Mexican Federation to meet up with the national team in preparation for the World Cup.
Economic terms are undisclosed, but as part of the deal Manchester United will travel to Mexico for an exhibition game to open the new Chivas Stadium on July 30, 2010. The game will also serve as a good-bye to Hernandez.
“We are equally excited to play our first game in Mexico, opening the magnificent new Chivas Stadium in July,” said the Manchester United manager.

It’s El Clasico time. That’s right, Chivas will be taking on America this Sunday. And like in all the other Clasico’s it’s time for one of my favorite videos.
So while it’ll be Chivas celebrating the goals and not America, it should be remembered what this wonderful game is all about.
Aside from that, Chicharito may not play the game but it won’t be confirmed until Sunday.
This game should have been played at the new Chivas stadium, but it’s not complete yet. So this should be the last Clasico in the Jalisco Stadium. And America has already lost at the Jalisco stadium this season…so C’MON CHIVAS!!!!!!!
Team Pictures for the Bicentenario 2010

Sorry for the long time in between posts, but school has kept me busy. So what’s been going on? Well, Chivas has opened the tournament with a PERFECT record. AND Chicharito has scored in every game. He currently has 7 goals in only 4 games. Basically he’s on FIRE.
The start has caught me by surprise to be completely honest. No new signings, Ramoncito gone along with several other players…it didn’t seem like a good start. But it’s worked. Not that I’m completely happy, but it’s worked. So much that Omar Bravo has scored again.
So everyone is happy at Chivas. I have a feeling that inspired the fan-concept to the team picture. With Vergara, team pictures are more creative. It doesn’t look a private school picture. Now, this team dresses like they’re in a circus(sometimes literally). But this has the team(and a few others) dressed like the fans that attend the games.

Ramon Morales is gone
By: Andrea | 5 Comments
Morales arrived in 1999 and left on shoved out the door by Jorge Vergara January 7, 2010. What player lasts that long with a team? Very few, and those that do are considered legends at their club.
Paolo Maldini. Raul. Ramon Morales. Though Ramoncito may not have the world wide recognition, he’s up there with those greats. Read the rest of this entry »
Category: Chivas Team NewsBofo returns, Morales possibly out
By: Andrea | 4 Comments
Adolfo ‘Bofo’ Bautista returned to Chivas. He has a three year contract and he will have a mini preseason to catch up his fitness to other teammates’ lose the extra kilos.
‘Bofo’ returns from Jaguares where he had many problems.
The transfer list was also given out with Ramon Morales available. According to Lebrija Chivas USA is interested in a possible transfer. Sergio Amaury Ponce and Gonzalo Pineda are on there as well. Last time Pineda was under scrutiny to he fought his way to stay. Diego Martinez, on loan to Monterrey, is also on there with his situation to be resolved. Antonio Olvera will extend his loan but will move from Toluca to Santos. Francisco Mendoza is another loan possibility back to Chivas USA.
So personally I’m not happy about Bofo. I think it’ll be another Bravo situation where he’ll contribute very little. He was lazy before and he’ll surely consider along the same path.
What do you think of this Bofo situation?

Chivas has a new manager…kinda. Jose Luis Real will be the manager for the Clausura 2009. It was announced on the official website, and his official presentation as manager will take place on Tuesday.
He’s also expected to be at the helm for the Copa Libertadores in 2010 where Chivas will enter in at the round of 16. If you remember, they were withdrawn from the tournament due to concerns of the H1N1 fear, especially concerning playing in venues in Mexico.
Real was manager of the team in the Apertura 2009 with a 1-1-1 record. Previous to that he managed the youth teams.
Good luck Real. You’ve entered into a crazy atmosphere. Hopefully, you don’t become another manager tagged under staff- I’ve used that tag too many times for countless managers.

That’s it.
The season is over. Chivas had the opportunity to move on but wasted opportunities, not just today but the whole season, and that’s why no more games will be played.
Francisco Ramirez didn’t work out. Raul Arias didn’t work out. Omar Bravo didn’t work out.
That’s why Chivas isn’t in the Liguilla and America is. Read the rest of this entry »

They sure did a lot of staring…into the back of their own nets.
Who missed the first goal? I did.
I was barely settling down when the second was scored.
Finally, a Chivas team that plays like what a Chivas team is supposed to play like. Read the rest of this entry »
