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!

ESPYS



Check out our boys Jonny and Sacha at the ESPY Awards... teehee.

OMG Jonathan Spector is wearing a 3 piece suit... awwww he's too cute!!! Rico looks like a pimp.
And wow I guess Sacha really likes the whole plaid thing. I swear he was wearing that same shirt after the game last Saturday :] Geez, Clint, baby... you clean up niiiice... I suppose I should also comment on Carlos Bocanegra: dude looks fantabulous. Only one left is Jozy, who looks very suave in grey.

Anyways, congrats to the boys for getting the nod for best upset.

Superclasico

Well, obviously the game didn't go as we had hoped. Stupid Galaxy... stupid Landon Donovan... UGH just when I thought I could finally tolerate the guy he goes and has that "I'm so much better than you" attitude with me! When we went under the stadium to see the players, I swear he smirked at me. Freak, I hate him.

Anyways.

The match seemed to be going well at first; possession was leaning toward Chivas, and we were mostly on the Galaxy end of the pitch. But then the goal happened (by the way, it was an extremely scrappy, ugly, and undeserved goal) and everything kinda went downhill. I wanted to cry. I mean, there was still competition; like Chivas didn't just lay down and give LA the game. But there just didn't seem to be any magic. Chances at the equalizer abounded, but the final touch just wasn't there. I'm bitter, so I blame Sacha. I know that's bad (like, this blog started because of him) but I mean COME ON. Every game he's played in the past few months he's been completely anonymous. Can't even tell he's on the field half the time.

...but I digress.

Jonny B. had this one terrific chance that had me on my feet jumping and screaming "Go Jonny go!!!" but then he didn't score. And I was sad. Very sad. I love Jonny... :]

It feels boring to just chat about the match. Ariel pretty much said all that happened when we met the players. All I gotta add is that OMG I SHARED THE SAME AIR-SPACE AS MIKE MAGEE!!!!!! Yes, I know he's a Galaxy player and yes, I know he's short and has kinda a funny looking nose (still not as funny looking as Sacha's though) but still... OMG HE'S SO HOTT!!!!!

sigh... Oh don't look at me like that. Hottness is my weakness. We also saw Dan Kennedy again. Dude was on a crutch for his injury. Wow, I miss him so much! He's so gorgeous! And also the next Brad Guzan, but whatever.

Bye fer now. Stay chill ya'll.

Chivas USA vs LA Galaxy, July 11, and other usless crap

Hullo

All right, so Hannah and I attended the game on Friday. These jams just get better and better! We started our evening at the HDC by making our way to Lot 6 to chill will the Union Ultras before being escorted together into the stadium (gasp!)

I love tailgating with the Union. Just a crazy bunch of Mexicans (and some asians???) downing shots of sweetly strong Patrone just to get them in the mood we all know and love. My dad was in this one too =) He's a big guy. He can handle it.
Not to mention free tacos!

Back to the game. They lost. Galaxy - 1, Chivas - a disappointing zilch. Too bad, because it put some of the players in the dumps. It was clearly shown in Sacha Kljestan as he Totally Ignored us! when we were screaming for autographs! I'll talk about that later.

About the game again...in about twenty minutes into the game I began to realize Chivas wasn't doing their best out there. They looked lazy. No wonder Galaxy made a goool. That was shocking; I only heard frantic screams from the crowd. It wasn't until the later half of the game that it finally registered to me that Galaxy had scored --- Whaaat??? And since when had actually occurred?

I honestly tried to focus on the game this time, but as usual, I was distracted by the Mexicans behind me :\

Now, back to the autographs...I gotta give my admirably deepest thanks to Carlos for setting us up with The Underground tickets. That was some nasty negotiating with the lady, man! Jerad (or Gered) Alexander, you should be proud of your pottymouthed father. Thank you again, man, for choosing us to go down there and even remembering us! It's an honour. Muchos Gracias.

We had to leave five minutes before the game ended to go down to The Underground, desperately urging to see the players finish the game. But it was all good because we got to see TONS of players. Which means that I got my jersey loaded up with signatures! Got Carey Talley over spring break, and now, like ten more over the summer.

Sacha, like I said before, was a major dickhead that time. He looked so disgusted. We eventually got his autograph, and tried to humour him, too. Hannah commented, "I like your haircut, Sacha." And what did he do? He Grunted! I don't think he said an actual word...Just saying.

Something totally embarrassing: okay there were tons of people sharing my Famous Person Sharpie so I couldn't keep track of it. So...after Sacha signed Hannah's jersey, I thought that Sacha had accidentally walked off with my Sharpie, so I called after him, "Hey, Sacha, you forgot my pen!" He turned around, staring at me blankly, didn't know what to do, then suddenly Hannah tells me, "Ariel, it's right here!" grabbing the Sharpie from the last random person next to her. It was pretty embaressing and everyone was laughing and I was like "AW SHNAP!" "Yeah, I'm stupid," I told everyone. Ha ha.

And NOW, ladies and gents, we come to the FATEFUL ELEVATOR RIDE!!! This is how it goes:
We were getting to go back to the stadium to leave because the lady was yaking at us that we'd better get going. I was excited because I got lots of handshakes, because I couldn't get hugs on account the players were on the other side of the gate. Shivering with delight, I walked to the elevators, waiting for our turn.
While we were waiting, Eduardo Lillingston, #99 makes his way through the small crowd to wait for the elevator too, his girlfriend getting totally All Over Him. She was hanging onto him, smooching, while he, not really paying attention, holding on to her, just trying to make sure she doesn't fall over. I was pushing against the wall because Lill and his girl were passing by and they stopped directly right in front off me, beginning to make out like crazy. She was really gorgeous, and just saying...Lillingston's button-down shirt was popped open at the chest. =D They both were tall-ish, fer the record.
Okay, THEN, here's the best part, the ELEVATOR FLIPS OPEN, and here I am, hesitant, because there's tons of people crowding into it and I don't know if we'll all make it in. But my dad says just go in, and we do. The guard operating the elevator barks at one employee lady; she has to go to the industrial elevator, or whatever. I get nervous, but whatever. I move into the back. People start pushing me into this one guy, who JUST HAPPENED TO BE OMAR GONZALES, #4!!! I turned, my eyes leading up to his face above me. I said, "I'm sorry!" And guess what he said? He says, "It's okay!" In this sensitive, sweet voice that actually MEANT it!!! I was in love!
Still dazed, I look around the elevator for some thrills, when I see face-to-face OMG - KOBI JONES!!! I wanted to say something, maybe give him a friendship bracelet...if I had one...but he was probably trying his best to ignore us, so I left him alone. I heard a outburst of laughing at the left corner - it was Lillingston's crazy chick, still smooching and clinging onto him helplessly. Oh Em Jee. Eduardo was also in the house. No waaayyy!!! I was fainting.
Okay, last words, people, promise. The door swung open and everyone bustled out. I was dying because I wanted to ask Omar Gonzales for a hug since I couldn't approach stingy Kobi or Eduardo with the clingly, giggly girlfriend. And somehow, I don't even know how, I asked him for a hug and I got one. YES!!! And it wasn't just those awkward, quick, get-away-from-me kind of hugs. It was supprisingly affectionate and on the longish side as we were about to back off.

SO SORRY FOR ALL THE CRAP I WAS JUST DYING TO REPORT!!!
LAYTAH AND PEACE!!! - Ariel, in and out.
