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

By: Andrea | September 24th, 2009

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.

Unfortunately, videos of that incident are unavailable at the moment. Basically he tried to take it with his right foot, completely missed, and fell right in front of goal.

So there were basically two different teams for both halves.

Here are the highlights:

Chicharo didn’t travel with the team because of the clash over the weekend. He’s still recovering and so far it’s been reported that nothing serious is wrong with his head.

And…..Chivas has some players called up for the friendly against Colombia!

Johnny Magallon
Pato Araujo
Omar Arellano
Javier ‘Chicharo’ Hernandez

I’m not sure how, but Aguirre saw something in these guys over the current weeks.

All I’ve got to say is…poor Magallon. He got married this summer and was immediately whisked away for the Gold Cup.

And…this would have been the PERFECT time for Michel’s call up to the national team. He hasn’t been doing too well lately, but why not give him the opportunity? This is one player that clearly deserves it.
