There’s little to say about this game except that it did not live up to the hype of a “Clasico.” That goat in the picture? Pretty much the most exciting thing about the game.

I admit, I almost fell asleep several times. Read the rest of this entry »

The ball was scheduled to roll on Saturday night, but torrential rains prevented the game from taking place. The ball couldn’t bounce on the waterlogged pitch, and the game was moved to midday Sunday.

Ouch. That one hurt. On paper it looked like Chivas could get back on track against Jaguares. But of course, that was bad to assume. And you know what happens when you assume. Read the rest of this entry »

In a non-too difficult game, Chivas beat Estudiantes 3-0.

As opposed to the game against Pumas, the new Omnilife stadium was filled to the brim with supporters. It was “fan day” at the stadium and tickets were going for only 20 pesos. Read the rest of this entry »

Again, I have to apologize for leaving this blog for a few weeks. School started up again, and with that, all activities.

But I’ll try to better. I really will try.

Anyways, most are aware that Chivas have not been doing well. They score .5 goals every game, so that has really dried up. Chivas has 5 points from four games, but the team needs to make up two games. Things don’t look too good, but after looking at the stats it doesn’t end up that bad. Assuming that they win both games and get the six points, then that would put them up high. But, it’s always better to have the points in hand than those two games.

But…at Mexican newspaper website, Mural.com, they posted a video on why Chivas may not be doing so well at the new stadium.

A home video shows Atlas fans burying their team’s artifacts underneath the new stadium while it was being constructed in hopes of cursing the new home. But it’s really because they only have one championship win, while Chivas have 11. Yes, count them. They’re right on the lovely crest(Just in case the Atlas fans don’t really know what they look like, they’re the stars).

A vaguely remember a similar situation happening in the Boston Red Sox/Yankees rivalry. Hopefully, something of the Red Sox’s time frame doesn’t apply here.

I’d watch it without the audio. Your ears will hurt after a while.

On Saturday night Chivas won 1-0 against San Luis at the Alfonso Lastras stadium.

Many of the Chivas players were sporting a shaved head, signifying their debuts in the Primera Division as the team was make-shift in preparation for the Copa Libertadores final against Inter de Porto Alegre. Read the rest of this entry »
