Club Deportivo Guadalajara(Chivas de Guadalajara)

Biggest match of the season today against Club Benitez. A win here would probably our only satisfaction all season since I don't see us making it to the Liguilla. Unfortunately, I see us losing 3-1. 2 Benitez goals and 1 from Mosqueda. Lugo scores for Chivas.

Highlights of our 1-3 win over our biggest rivals and the Evil Empire, Club America.

The win places us in a qualifying position(8th) It's unlikely we'll conserve the place after Sunday since we need Monterrey to beat Pumas, and Atlante to beat Morelia to stay in 8th place.

Had a really good performance by pretty much everyone last night but some of our players deserve a special mention. Chaton(with the help of Pato) absolutely neutralized America's midfielders from getting involved too much in the build up and Reynoso bullied their forwards. You couldn't have both without the other. Chaton keeping the Medina, and Rosinei out of the game forced Benitez to play deeper to get the ball and run at defenders, it was simply a matter of Reynoso putting his body between him and the goal.

Of course credit to Marquez Lugo for taking those two potshots at goal, bitter Americanistas calling them lucky, but if you attempt them, they never go in and he took the chance.

Chivas has been criticized for their play for a long time, and rightly so but no one should criticize their commitment, drive and the size of their balls. If someone told the squad to jump head first at a loose ball in the box, their would be no shortage of willing men.

It's club legend Ramon Morales' 37th birthday today. Lets celebrate this occasion by watching a goal compilation of one of the classiest footballers I have ever seen, both on and off the field. A true professional.



Grande Ramoncito!

america will win the league

I'll quit the forum if that happens.

Come back to this one, people are taking shots at Messi and Mexicans

"Anon6366: TU PUTA MADRE TAMBIEN PANCONMIERDA"

He mad

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Oh wait, the chat box thing?

I close those. I can't bother with the ridiculousness and xenophobia which almost always turns up in those things.

Yeh, all I could see was putos y putas so it's kinda distracting.

Marco looks kinda asian at times, or is that just me

Definitely see it. Always thought he had some Japanese in him somewhere. (There's a pretty good sized Japanese and Chinese diaspora in Mexico)

His middle name is pretty non-Spanish sounding. "Jhonfai"

Down 2-0, turned it off but I really want to put it back on now, think I will and suffer through it.

Don't, just don't...

Losing 3-0.

I don't know why we play so shit. A season ago we were the best team in the leauge. I know it's not the players that are shit. I don't like blaming the coach but..

Scratch that, I don't think we play shit, we just lose and draw a lot.

I think I'm a masochist. I'm also an Oakland Raiders and Dodgers fan.

I mean the 2/3 of the goals were good but the rest of play is so lethargic, it's like watching Arsenal

Marco Fabian needs to get the acrobatic trait applied to him on FIFA. He's just ridiculous when it comes to attempting those overhead kicks.

Needs better dribbling anyway, it's like 74 or something

ANyway it's late so over n out

Peace. Going to turn this off and go finish my work too.

Possibly cut myself as well.

fierro & torres <3

I'm guessing you're Football Manager fan.

Chivas vs Chivos.

On now.

2-1 in the 80th minute, Xelaju would advance if the result holds.

Getting knocked out of the competition from two goals from a guy named Chinchilla.

I'm glad there aren't any razor blades in the house.

Bad enough that RSL failed to make it out of the group stages. But now we have Mexican sides failing to advance. What is the world coming to?

Means an MLS side will win it again.

But Chivas have been abysmal for almost a year now. It's not all that surprising anymore. Half the squad lying in a hospital bed doesn't help either. I'm not even exaggerating by the way, it's literally like half the squad that are injured or just getting back from an injury. Picked up another injury in tonight's match too. It's like the entire universe is taking a collective shit on Guadalajara.

Although you guys do have a lot of injuries, I heard people say that there are a lot of discipline issues in the locker room. Some of the things I heard sound more like lack of professionalism than discipline issues though. Things like Rafa Marquez constantly leaving to Mexico City to visit his girlfriend/wife (don't know which). Or Fabian going to Las Vegas when he was injured instead of staying in Guadalajara.

If there is one positive this season it's this guy.

Dude, was playing in the 3rd division a couple of months ago. Has already netted 3 goals for Chivas.

Apparently, Van't Shit and Guero Real spited him in a friendly match between Vaqueros de Ixtlan and Chivas Rayadas (U-20) and signed him up then and there.

First Mexican team to be knocked out of the tournament by a non Mexican team since the reformat of the tournament in 2008

Classico Tapatio is on right now.

Found an English stream oddly enough, but the image quality is terrible unfortunately.

The pitch looks crazy
