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!

The Beckham Experiment

Read this book folks. Do it now! Seriously though, It's a great read, even for those who are not exclusively Galaxy fans (like moi). I have learned so much about the relatively small world of pro footballers... I now fully appreciate these guys coming out of that tunnel to possibly hostile fans week in and week out for an often outrageously small salary. Most have to get second jobs. Alan Gordon, who as recently as a month ago I was ready to hang in effigie, has totally won me over with his genuine, cool-guy demeanor that I read about in this book. Dude coached girls soccer for like 3 years on the side to pay his rent! Gee, what I wouldn't give to have played for Alan Gordon... he is so cute!!

I'll post more goodies about the book later. Before I go, here's a little nightcap: It looks as though Sacha "Hollywood" Kljestan is back folks, and he's back with a vengeance. That should go for Chivas USA as well. Disregarding the potentially dangerous suspension of rock solid center back Carey Talley, Chivas looks to be heading straight for a playoff spot ^_^
