chivas Stories - Black And Red United
Chivatown Post: Valencia Signs Edition
Hello Chivas USA fans! We're into the second week of preseason training for the Goats, and the crew has moved up to Oxnard (article by Gabe Dahl on club website) for several days to train, capped off by a match against the Ventura County Fusion of the USL-PDL on Friday morning. As a local PDL squad...
WCC Preview: Kansas City at Houston
I want to pick the Wizards to win here.I really do.But I just don't see it happening. You see, I've had some success in the past when picking the teams that no one else is picking. And that's what the Wizards are here. No one is picking them to beat Houston. And that's because they probably...

Outplayed and outcoached
I'm slowly starting to calm down enough to admit that that was a pretty exciting and fast-paced game. But for United it was again a tale of two very different halves. Or maybe I should say a tale of the first 30 minutes and the last 60 minutes. Preki made tactical changes at halftime that clearly...
Embarassment
It seems like everyone in the stadium knew that this was a must-win game for DC United, except for anybody wearing black. What ever happened to being "hard to play against"? Wasn't that always Soehn's philosophy? This team was fairly easy to play against last night, making bad passes all over the...
