So Chivas has undergone a makeover. It might be controversial as the highlighter yellow away kits, it might not.
But, the crest has changed. Yes, the wonderful Guadalajara crest has changed. The mighty lions, and the tree are no longer golden, but white.
There are interesting stripes at the bottom of the shirt.
All the sponsors have remained the same.
The away shirts are orange and gray.
And for the girls the stripes are pink…
Anyways…see for yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry for the long delay between posts, but the important thing is that they’re here now.
So what has gone on during that time? Well, Panchito Mendoza will no longer be with Chivas. The former Chivas USA has gone to Jaguares despite being told that he was not on the transfer list. “Zully” Ledesma has loaned out to Necaxa who will be trying to get back into the Liga with the help from Omar Arellano Sr.
A few friendlies have been played, but there are plenty more coming up, as well as the full schedule for the Apertura. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s official. Jared Borgetti is no longer a Chivas player.
It comes as a surprise that he was actually a Chivas player since he never was really on the pitch.
Borgetti was the first one to go during the cleansing of the team that is currently under way. He only had a 6 month contract, and it wasn’t renewed.
Vergara and Co. are evaluating who will stay, and who will go, although there has been a strong inclination towards letting go of the new players who primarily stayed on the bench(Borgetti, Ochoa, Mendoza).
“At this moment, there is no new news. Possible movements are up for talks with Pedro Saez, Jorge Vergara, and with the rest of the managerial team. Of course we’ve had several talks, but at the moment there isn’t anything official until we analyze each individual player to figure out their stance for the next season, and what the team will achieve,” said Varela.
Meanwhile, Omar Bravo visited the Chivas institution and brought up rumors of him coming back. Read the rest of this entry »

Another season has come and gone, and we’re left out of the Liguilla. That’s two in a row if you haven’t been counting, and with the Libertadores taken out of our hands the season is over. Finished. To qualify we needed to win. Period. Indios had a tougher challenge and needed to win by a 2+ goal differential. Anything else would see America through.
We were in it for quite a while, until Indios(can you believe that they were just fighting relegation not too long ago) decided to get going and beat us 3-1. The only positive part is that at least America is out too. Read the rest of this entry »
Bye, Bye, Bye

Chivas is out. San Luis is too. The two Mexican teams that advanced to the next round of the Copa Libertadores have removed themselves from the competition after Sao Paulo of Brazil(Chivas’ opponent) and Nacional refused to play in Mexico because of the H1N1 flu.
Several options were given such as playing behind closed doors, but those were refused.
Chivas was also offered two fields, one in Brazil by Coritiba, and the other by Sociedad Deportiva Aucas in Ecuador. However, owner Jorge Vergara refused because he wanted Chivas to be at the Jalisco.
Yesterday, CONMEBOL approved the games to be played in Mexico, but both Sao Paulo and Nacional have refused to travel to Mexico, and the Mexican teams have dropped out.
“Even though the World Health Organization has given their approval playing with a filled stadium, we find that the teams of Nacional of Montevideo, and Sao Paulo of Brazil have no such approval. We personally made calls to their boards, and federations as well as the Presidents of the clubs to guarantee their arrivals, to make it easier for them; security at the airport and hotels. Unfortunately, both clubs in question don’t want to come to Mexico. By these means we wish to let the CONMEBOL know that we are removing ourselves from the competition,” said FMF president Justin Compean.
For once, FMF is supporting the clubs in their decision.

After a crazy time trying to find where to play, CONMEBOL has finally agreed to let the Mexican teams in the Copa Libertdores play at home next week. Now, it’s up to Sao Paulo and Nacional de Montevido(who play San Luis) whether they will travel to the games because of the H1N1 dangers.
This comes after the news that the 17th and final round of the Mexican tournament will be open to the public, but with stadiums only half full.

The Sociedad Deportiva Aucas has also offered their Stadium(the Chillogallo) to the Mexican teams in the Copa Libertadores. This is the 2nd team to come forth and be nice by helping out the teams. So far, Chivas and San Luis have no where to play because of the H1N1 flu situation going on in Mexico and the precautions surrounding it.
“As a sign of sympathy towards Chivas and San Luis, who will not be able to take advantage of their home fields due to the outbreak of the H1N1 Flu that has been strongly affected Mexico, the Sociedad Deportiva Aucas has put their stadium at the use of both teams.”
The club from Ecuador has sent their proposal to CONMEBOL who is set to release their verdict of the situation this evening.
Also, while we’ll get Johnny Magallon back from injury, we’re also losing Reynoso. Read the rest of this entry »
