Who Are We? Chiva Fighters

Why, hello there! Here at ChivasMeansGoats, we believe that Club Deportivo Chivas USA is the most superior of all MLS teams. We also believe that Sacha Kljestan, Jonathan (Jonny) Bornstein, Paulo Nagamura, Ante Razov, Justin Braun, Jorge Flores and all the Chivas dudes are AWESOME. be warned: this blog is written by 4 total teenage soccer stalkers. We're going to dish all the information possible about Chivas USA. And again, since this blog is typed by INSANE GIRLS, please don't expect to read much of anything substantial or newsworthy. Mostly it's about the players. We'll be aiming to start regular blogging soon; once we get all our affairs in order, we hope that we will write entries almost every day, as we find things exciting to post. Thanks for visiting the Sisterhood of the Traveling Sacha Kljestan Cleats! Drop by again soon!

BTW: We have recently acquired a pair of authentic cleats (adiPURE, size 11) worn by Sacha Kljestan, hence the name of the blog. Click on the picture below to see a larger and wider view of our snapshot of him running toward us to give us the cleats. Enjoy!

There are 4 of us actually. Ariel is a great artist and is a rabid Chivas fan. She also likes photography and music. Then there's Jazel and Janessa. They are amazing ballet dancers and aspiring fashion designers. Jay and Jan haven't been Chivas fans for long, but they already cheer louder than us at the matches. I'm Hannah, and I play soccer. I've been a Chivas fan for a few years, and I was the one to introduce soccer to the other three. I love music and Sacha Kljestan. It's a joy to watch Sacha play; he's so creative. Anyways, that's a little about us!

Updates and Whatnot

Olympics are going pretty well; our boy Sacha netted one to temporarily put the U.S. even with the Netherlands. Though they didn't win, a well played game on the USA's part, don't you think? Stuart Holden might be feeling a little guilty right about now. Or maybe not... i hope not 'cause he played smashingly. The tie was a bit of a let down after the 2 lovely goals and that whole rally of intense play. Ah, well. Nigeria up on Wednesday!

Is anyone else exited for the SuperClasico?! Man, I know we are. I won't be in attendance, but the other 3 are planning on showing; they'll likely be sitting with the Union Ultras (shoutout to those guys; you rock!) Not quite sure if Jonny or Jorge will be starting. They're injured, but listed as probable so it anyone's game. Same for Ante and Galindo... Chivas really seem to be hurting for their core starters i.e. Kljestan, Razov, and Suarez. The team seemed slightly lacking Sat. night versus the Wizards. Second half was good though; Chivas was quicker on the ball and were more creative than in the first half. Totally amazing header by Justin Braun BTW. The kid's getting better and better.

Later y'all,
Hannah
