Record setting Chivas

Team Chicharito

I shall update later, later..

Esteban Cambiasso

I was fortunate enough to have seen Esteban Cambiasso's 20meter blast to give Inter a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League first knock out round match. The goal was reminiscent of a goal scored in a videogame.

After having his first shot denied; Cambiasso pounced on the rebound with clinical precision to notch the match winner. This is the second goal I have seen Cambiasso score.

The first one was even more memorable as he put the finishing touch on Argentina's 24 pass sequence and open the floodgates in what would be a memorable 6-0 victory over Serbia and Montenegro at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

OWNAGE

The only words I can think of when speaking about Cruz Azul are Epic Fail. While I am a faithful to my beloved Chivas I have always been quite intrigued by the Cement Mixers which come across as the working mans team.

I followed the club in their 01 Copa Libertadores campaign which ended in a penalty kick shoot out against South American giants Boca Jrs. This is the first and only time I have wanted a Mexican club, aside from Chivas, to win the tourney. That is no longer the case.

In the years since I have witnessed some Epic Fails from Cruz Azul which I would say overall deserved better luck. And the clubs recent failures which now accumulate to three league finals lost in a row since the Clausura 2008 season are anything but depressing.

Making matters worse is the continual OWNAGE the club has to endure at the hands of cross town rivals America. Usually, winning a derby can serve as consolation for not winning the league title but Cruz Azul can't even achieve that!

Super Chivas?

Chivas start of the Bicentenario Season, with five straight wins, has broken the clubs previous record of four straight wins. Chivas now needs one more win, against Pachuca, to equal archrivals America best start of the season. In any case this squad has the makings of a great team. All that remains is for the players to fulfil their potential.

The stage is already set; for the league Championship all the clubs will be without their top players. And the team is already qualified for the second round of the Copa Libertadores. If there was ever a better time for Chivas to take advantages of the opportunities presented now would be that time.

WTF?

Chivas team Photo

Brilliant Idea by the Chivas FO to have the players pose as if they are fans for the official team picture. A few years back the team picture was taken at a Circus providing rival fans with plenty of ammo. This time round however the idea is simply genious.
