The Crowd=The Passion

Goats v Bulls ,

My name is Simon a 30 something Brit now living here in sunny California ,

I was born in Swindon England where I lived pretty much all my life ,

My team is my home town club Swindon Town F.C. , an unfashionable

Small team from Wiltshire , for 30 years I followed my Robins from the lows of

The old division 4 to the dizzy high of the premiership only to fall from

Grace to the foot of England's professional leagues ,

On arrival to the states I was keen to check out the local "soccer" for my personal

Views about football and my ultra mentality I could not follow nor shout for galaxy ,

For their golden boy becks and his one time links to Manchester Utd , but for now I shall

Save those views for another time ,

Chivas USA came to my attention and now for the last year the goats have substituted my Robins ,

For my footballing fix.

Ultras Singing in the Hot Sun!

Crowd

It was a hot one today as a small crowd avoided Church and the NFL games to brave the midday heat! It was a small crowd, maybe 9 or 10 thousand but very passionate to say the least. I took my friend and former Galaxy season ticket holder, Gene Kato and his 2 little boys to his first Chivas USA game.

Union Ultra vs Angel City Brigade Super Classico

Union Ultra's and ACB at the L.A. Supporters Super Classico

Well it had been months in the planning and almost never happened thanks to the Evil Empire=A.E.G. who seams to do everything they can to give ALL supporters groups the shaft!

I must admit, I was getting depressed when I would think about the goats. The downhill slide just didn't seem like it was going to end. We got a win last weekend, but was it a fluke? Could the Goats drive on and play like it was 3 months ago and they were on top of the world? Could Chivas USA find the Mojo it lost sometime in June?

Whew, the losing streak comes to an end! Have the Goats gotten some Mojo or just a bit of luck? The Front office has made some moves including bringing a young stud in from Guadalajara ....lets wait and see what this weekends game looks like before we judge them...I remain cautiously optimistic.

Wow, something like 325 min without a goal in MLS play for Chivas USA! I wish I could say the same for Lance Parker! It seams like yesterday that the season started and Chivas USA was destroying everyone, I was sure we were going to be in the playoff's, and maybe the Championship game!....That was then, this is now!

I knew I was nervous for a reason when Dan
Kennedy had surgery and has been unable to play....cause that leaves Lance Parker as back up,,,,and well...now Nick Green is reporting in his 100 percent soccer blog that Zach Thornton is out for 3-4 weeks after an injury suffered in the MLS all star game.

Lets hope that Chivas USA can pull out a win this week....I will be missing the game cause I will be chilling with Mickey in Florida, then chilling on that private island in the Bahamas!

I will be back blogging Aug 3rd!

Let go Chivas USA

I cant believe I used to get paid to do that at night!

The Only Fireworks at HDC one the field were these!

Does anyone know the Heimlich maneuver, cause Chivas USA keeps choking! Click to continue reading...

Here is the article from the Daily Breeze today about the AEG funded crackdown on the dangerous and threatening "Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog" vendors outside of Home Depot Center...I swear every day I hate A.E.G. more!

The Super Liga game against San Luis was Saturday night and I am just getting around to writing this article...Well, I got to go to Vegas with my wife and no kids, I hope you understand!

Chivas USA Pride

The Game Rant:

I know you all have seen every article about the game so I will keep it short and you can watch my movie from the game with lots of good Union Ultra shots and an interview with Guitar Guy and My youngest son Gabe talking about what a class act Sasha Victorine is.

Word on the street is that the City of Carson is going to try and crack down on the beloved Home Depot Center Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog Vendors and take all the carts away!

This is a total injustice and straight up B.S.! The Bacon Dogs are part of the Home Depot Center Soccer experience and have become quite famous as an after game treat.

Saturday Night Lights

I was excited for Super Liga this year as I love seeing the Mexican teams come play at Home Depot center. The Chivas USA front office did a nice job on the pre game stuff, they had a really good troop of Mexican Folklorico dancers performing on the stage. I was really impressed and it made me proud to be a Mexican, even though I am a white guy of French origin. Click to continue reading...
