One Game Of Solitude

By: Andrea | Comments 4 Comments

With the crazy health scares going on in the world Chivas will play in solitude. It won’t be exactly like in Marquez’ novel One Hundred Years Of Solitude, but Chivas will play away from the Jalisco Stadium. Chivas’ game against the yet unconfirmed opponent in the Copa Libertadores has been moved to Bogota, Columbia and [...]

They Didn’t Get Money, and We Know It

By: Andrea | Comments No Comments

Not even a $50,000 incentive could get the Everton team to beat Chivas in the Copa Libertadores. The teams drew at 1-1 and Chivas will go through on to the next round. However, the organization is rethinking of where to play upcoming games because of the swine flu.

Not Much Against Vaccinated Kittens

By: Andrea | Comments 2 Comments

With the swine flu running rampant in Mexico’s capital it was determined that games played in Mexico City were going to be behind closed doors. For the game against Pumas that meant no audience at the CU. And if there’s any fan base that I’m really jealous of, it’s definitely Pumas’.

We Can Fly Higher Than the Eagle

By: Andrea | Comments 6 Comments

The long awaited game has come and gone, and Chivas has been victorious. This week the game had been overshadowed by the crazy dealings in the boardroom. Vergara discarded Arellano and brought in Francisco Ramirez(his little hair deal is not doing it for me). Finally, it all came to an end and Chivas won. It [...]

When Genes Go Wrong

By: Andrea | Comments No Comments

If my kid turned out like this, he(or she) would get a stern talking to. There’d be no other team nonsense in my house.
Remember, El Classico is this Sunday.

Old School Fight

By: Andrea | Comments 1 Comment

The Classico’s area always filled with passion. Things get heated up and punches are thrown sometimes. While I don’t approve of fights they’re a favorite part of mine during games. The fight in ‘83 is one of my favorites that I’ve seen(although not live) between the two teams. There’s crazy punches, karate kicks, and short [...]

Another One Bites the Dust

By: Andrea | Comments 3 Comments

The father-son Arellano duo is no more. Arellano was released from his managerial duties today, and will be replaced Francisco Ramirez former assistant manager to Sven Goran Ericksson and Ricardo La Volpe with the national team. The new replacement comes after last night’s performance against Lanus during which the home team was boo’ed after the [...]

Who Wants Chicken?

By: Andrea | Comments 1 Comment

The premise is this. “Just by seeing us their skin turns into Chicken skin.” So basically, just by seeing us, they turn into Chickens. That’s right America. Go run and hide. You’re eagles no more. Chivas are about to clip your wings(although, you haven’t really had any for the past few seasons).
Remember, EL CLASSICO [...]

Qualification’s Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings

By: Andrea | Comments 4 Comments

That goal in the 92nd minute that was disallowed still has me angry… Perhaps it was not the best game. And yes, qualification might be in trouble, but at least we had a clean sheet.

The Best Commercial Ever

By: Andrea | Comments 4 Comments

On Sunday we’ll be playing against the eternal rivals America. So before all the trash-talking begins, let’s remember that on both sides there is greatness. I’ve posted this before, but this has got to be one of my favorite commercials of all time for anything and deserves another run.
Basically a father and his blind [...]
