Galaxy Make Playoffs for First Time in Four Years

100 Percent Soccer 03 October @ 08:59 PM EST

And they didn't kick a ball today.

The post-season berth comes courtesy of intrastadium rivals Chivas USA who beat an out of gas D.C. United Saturday 2-0 on the road. United finished with 10 men after Ben Olsen was sent off for clocking Chivas USA defender Yamith Cuesta on the back of the head with a retaliatory "free kick.

Halftime: Red Bulls at Chivas USA

100 Percent Soccer 26 September @ 10:31 PM EST

Chivas USA 0 New York Red Bulls 0

This is a scrappy, disjointed affair with more errant passes and impotent runs than quality scoring opportunities.

Each side had just one half decent chance at goal.

Chivas USA's came in the 11th minute, Brazilian Maicon Santos almost making the Red Bulls pay for a poor clearance, which fell to Paulo Nagamura.

MLS: After the deadline

The Netminder 16 September @ 11:29 AM EST

Which is Southern California's Team - the Galaxy or Chivas USA?

100 Percent Soccer 25 August @ 04:21 PM EST

The trivia question was prompted by an item in the Chivas USA game notes for the July SuperClasico I scoured Monday as I researched today's column.

Chivas USA claims nine players on its roster who were either born or grew up in Southern California:
Jonathan Bornstein (who was born in Torrance and grew up in Los Alamitos)
Chukwudi Chijindu (Fontana)
Jorge Flores (Anaheim)
Dan Kennedy (Yorba Linda)
Sacha Kljestan (Huntington Beach)
Gerson Mayen (Los Angeles)
Ante Razov (Los Angeles)
Sasha Victorine (Corona)
Cesar Zamora (Sylmar)

Three of these players - Bornstein, Razov, Victorine - played college soccer at UCLA, while Dan Kennedy played at UC Santa Barbara.

Chivas USA Goalkeeper Thornton Out up to Three Weeks

100 Percent Soccer 03 August @ 08:46 PM EST

That's the word today after the club evaluated the right quad injury Zach Thornton picked up during their starting goalkeeper's 16 minutes of action in the MLS All-Star game last week. Just another reason to dislike the fake game.

And not a good sign for a club that was off almost three weeks and is attempting to stop a four-game losing streak Saturday against the Colorado Rapids.

REPORT: MLS Team Academies and a Comparison of the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA

MLS Rumors 08 June @ 08:41 PM EST
Compared to Chivas USA, with an identity tied to Mexico, what has the LA Galaxy done with their academy graduates and youth stars?
