Expansion Draft List: Chivas USA

WVHooligan 11 November @ 07:32 AM EST

Who will Chivas protect this year? (Getty Images)

Yesterday we started our look at the expansion draft and who teams will and won't protect for this month's upcoming draft. The Philadelphia Union get ten players to pick from and this year will be as tough as any to predict who will stay and who will be left exposed.

Western Conference Semifinal: Chivas USA at Galaxy

100 Percent Soccer 08 November @ 07:33 PM EST

Well, my laptop just died so I'm depending on the kindness of coworkers here to blog (sporadically).

Here's the scenario: if the Galaxy win they'll face the Houston Dynamo at home 8 o'clock Friday; if Chivas USA wins they'll travel to Houston for a Sunday game.

There's just one change for the Galaxy today: Chris Birchall has fallen ill (nothing serious I'm told), so Chris Klein replaces him in midfield.

Western Conference Semifinal: Galaxy at Chivas USA

100 Percent Soccer 01 November @ 04:42 PM EST

Sunny and 80 degrees here at the under populated Home Depot Center.

Kick off has apparently been pushed back to 2:25 p.m. to accommodate TV if you're wondering.

It's the same starting lineup this afternoon that both teams fielded for the respective MLS season finales.

Here's Arena's team: Donovan Rickettts, Sean Franklin, Gregg Berhalter, Omar Gonzalez, Todd Dunivant, Chris Birchall, David Beckham, Dema Kovalenko, Mike Magee, Edson Buddle, Landon Donovan.

Sunday Chivas USA-Galaxy Playoff Gameday

100 Percent Soccer 01 November @ 11:15 AM EST

This is the game Southern California MLS fans have long awaited.

I'd like to say there's a buzz in the air, a sense of anticipation and tension and plenty of concrete expressions of the rivalry that have temporarily divided friends and families.

I'd like to say that, but it wouldn't be true.

SuperClasico Ground Zero (It Ain't The Home Depot Center)

The Offside Rules 31 October @ 12:50 PM EST
Everybody know someone who cohabitates with someone who supports a different sports team than them. For instance my brother-in-law is a die-hard Giants fan while his son bleeds Jets green; even though they rarely play each other, the trash talking can get definitely get heated (in a good way).

Chivas USA handed out its team awards after the game: goalkeeper Zach Thornton was named the team MVP, while Jonathan Bornstein earned Defender of the Year honors.

Bonus quote: Here's defender Ante Jazic on why Chivas USA is having a hard time scoring more than two goals in a game:

Update: Earthquakes at Chivas USA

100 Percent Soccer 17 October @ 11:00 PM EST

Chivas USA 2 Earthquakes 2

A Justin Braun header in the 66th minute from an Ante Jazic cross has restored parity. It looked suspiciously close to being offside, too.

Ghastly offense (as usual), generally excellent defense (as is customary) gave Chivas USA the road point today.

Marcelo Saragosa excepted, of course, after throwing the most blatant kung fu kick at a soccer game since Eric Cantona.

SuperClasico Lineups

100 Percent Soccer 29 August @ 09:32 PM EST

It's thankfully cooling off here in Carson - the temperature right now is 76 degrees - as Chivas USA and the Galaxy play the season's third and final SuperClasico.

If Chivas USA wins tonight they would win the SuperClasico trophy because the teams would be even with four points apiece after a 0-0 tie and a 1-0 Galaxy home win earlier this season.

Chivas USA get its “Mojo” back, Sacha plays like a mad man and “Me vs ChivaFighter” at halftime!

Chivas USA from the Stands 23 August @ 01:05 PM EST

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?

Chivas USA Update: Upper Deck to Open Saturday for Galaxy Game & More

100 Percent Soccer 07 July @ 09:45 PM EST

A few items to pass along:

*The club announced today it will open the Home Depot Center's upper deck, which it customarily doesn't need to accommodate the smallish crowds that average 15,312 this season, for Saturday's SuperClasico against the Galaxy. Those seats have an excellent view, BTW, if you've never sat up there (think the luxury suite views on the opposite side of the stadium without the expensive prices).

Chivas USA Defender Ante Jazic comes off disabled list

CSRN - US Soccer News 10 June @ 03:26 PM EST

Chivas USA defender Ante Jazic has been removed from the club's Disabled List, making the 33-year-old eligible to participate in official MLS games. Jazic, who has travelled with Chivas USA for its away matches this week at Houston and Columbus, had been sidelined since suffering a concussion on March 11, ten days before Chivas USA's first match of the season.

The preview is an excerpt - Read the full preview at Prost Amerika Soccer.

Sounders return to the site of their worst result of the season. Their sole two goal defeat came at the Home Depot Centre on April 18th where an own goal contributed to a lacklustre Seattle defeat.

Soccer Saturday Gameday Previews - & John Carver Resigns

100 Percent Soccer 25 April @ 11:01 AM EST

The Galaxy, Chivas USA and Sol are all in action today, but the big news of the morning just landed in my e-mail: Toronto FC Coach John Carver has resigned, the club announced this morning.

Slightly curious timing.

Toronto became the first MLS team to beat Chivas USA in midweek and faces Kansas City Sunday.

Best of the West

The Offside - Chivas 18 April @ 04:18 PM EST

"As long as no-one scored, it was always going to be close" Arsene Wenger

That pretty much summed up last weekends exciting, yet scoreless Superclásico. Chivas played as a far more dominant side, even when down to ten men and should be most satisfied with their ability to neutralize any kind of threat the Galaxy had to offer.

Friday Football: Poker, Chivas USA, Chelsea and More

100 Percent Soccer 03 April @ 11:59 AM EST

I've been rather busy this week with a couple of projects and haven't been able to blog much. That will be true again today, but it's another busy soccer weekend with both the Galaxy and Chivas USA playing on Saturday and Sunday in Carson respectively so here's a preview of what's on tap.

Stomach-churning MLS.

INCOMING/OUTGOING: Ante Jazic from LA Galaxy to Chivas USA

MLS Rumors 16 January @ 02:33 PM EST
According to Glenn MacDonald at the Chronicle Herald (click here for the original), Canadian midfielder/defender Ante Jazic and two draft picks were traded to Chivas USA from the LA Galaxy for Chivas USA's 2nd round draft pick (where they picked up defender, AJ De La Garza). Ante Jazic's departure will clear some much needed cap space for the LA Galaxy. Click to continue reading...

Gameday: Galaxy Vs. DC United

The Offside - LA Galaxy 20 September @ 03:14 PM EST

The Galaxy enter today's home game (8:00 pm PDT - FSC) in the grip of a club-record 12 game winless streak, taking just six points from the 36 on offer. They sit at the bottom of the Western Conference on 26 points, four points out of the last Western playoff spot. It's been over 100 days since the team's last win and it is the first time since mid-July that both Landon Donovan and David Beckham will be playing together in front of the Home Depot Center crowd.

Gameday: Galaxy Vs. Real Salt Lake

The Offside - LA Galaxy 06 September @ 02:17 PM EST

Today the Galaxy takes on Real Salt Lake at the Home Depot Center at 7:30 PDT. You can follow the action via the Direct Kick package or on MLSLive.tv.

After last week's much improved performance I should be looking forward to this game. It's at home, it's again a team that can't buy a point on the road, and they happen to be conference rivals.

Who Will Play Against Real Salt Lake On Saturday?

The Offside - LA Galaxy 04 September @ 10:45 AM EST

The Galaxy looked sharper than they had in weeks last Saturday against the Revolution, which bodes well for the run they will have to make in order to get into the playoffs. However, this Saturday MLS has, in its infinite wisdom, decided to schedule league matches concurrently with a FIFA World Cup qualifier date.

It's Official: This is The Worst Galaxy Team Ever

100 Percent Soccer 31 August @ 01:59 AM EST

Or at least they are tied with the 2006 team as the worst ever.

By running their winless streak to 10 games with a 2-2 tie Saturday against the New England Revolution, the Galaxy tied the mark for the longest winless stretch in club history, first set in 2006 when the Galaxy went 0-8-2 from May 6 until June 24.

From Rumor To Reality: Gibbs to Galaxy

The Offside - LA Galaxy 09 August @ 05:39 PM EST

Or so says Ives in this post.

I'm on record in the comments of my last SBI Supporter's View saying that I wouldn't have used the allocation for Cory Gibbs due to his injury history and cost against the salary cap (not like I actually know what that is, of course). But I am not the guy(s) in charge of personnel over at the HDC (that can only be a good thing) and I guess their calculus told them to pull the trigger.

Help Coming for the Galaxy?

USA Soccer Spot 02 August @ 06:54 AM EST

Cory Gibbs/BBC Sport

Despite the presence of the two of the most gifted players ever in Major League Soccer, the Los Angeles Galaxy appear to be sinking without a trace. A leaky defense and poor linkup play have made the Galaxy at this point a side that is struggling to remain competitive in the Western Conference of MLS.

The Galaxy: Helpless, Hapless and Hopeless

100 Percent Soccer 27 July @ 08:13 PM EST

Condolences to those of you, who, like me, just gave up two hours of a lovely summer afternoon to watch FC Dallas massacre the Galaxy 4-0.

Two goals inside 90 seconds just after 15 minutes sealed the result, but it could have been 6-0 (or more). The Galaxy ended the game with just two shots on goal (Dallas had 14).

Well, well, if the montage of the nine goals scored the last time these two teams met in New York doesn't amp you up for this game, I don't know what will.

Chivas USA-Galaxy at Home Depot Center

100 Percent Soccer 10 July @ 09:53 PM EST

Five changes for the Galaxy this evening after last week's loss to New England and no wins in the last three games.

New England Revolution-Galaxy at Home Depot Center

100 Percent Soccer 04 July @ 09:17 PM EST

The Eastern Conference (and MLS) leading Revolution (9-4-3) visit the Western Conference leading Galaxy (6-5-3) tonight seeking to extend their undefeated streak over L.A. to eight regular season games, a record that dates back to April 2004.

The Galaxy haven't lost an Independence Day game since 2001, however, so it appears something has to give.
