The Chronicles of Rey “picks up the illusion The March 2010″

March 24th, 2010

Anyone who is passionate about football and he/she feels the passion for this sport so beautiful is a dream, an illusion, apart from your personal and professional life, I think the NEXT illusion, dream or desire is that your team becomes champions, to raise the cup and do that expected walked around the stadium , proudly showing off the colors of the team of your love, those who have had the fortune to see experienced and felt that, we know that is something inexplicable, is one emotional, passionate moment in your life, the adrenaline running through all your veins when that last whistle of the referee and your team can add one more star in the shield that both want and respect. Many fans / supporters die without experience what it feels to be CHAMPIONS that’s why I thank God for that short / long life, I have had the good fortune to enjoy the team
I loved win some Championships the popular club in Mexico’s Club Deportivo Guadalajara The team of the people.

This 2010 season I have the illusion, I think I’m not alone anymore, there is a Union that feels, lives the same passion like me, Many People think that you Can’t be in love with two at the same, time that is not fair and that no such thing exists, with the Hand on heart I can tell you that they are wrong, because in my Heart and I love two teams equal, the same way with the same intensity and with the same passion.
It is kind of Crazy to think you are a poet but its is more crazy to state that you can’t love two teams at the same time.

Support your team unconditional you give it without expecting anything in returned, only the illusion of them making you, vibrate when they rise up that cup and be crowned champions.
The Illusion, The Passion, The carnival atmosphere, the support has to be in the stands / on the board / in the stadium, that’s the only way you can demand that the players live everything in the pitch but you have to do the same in the stands, supporting 90 plus minutes leaving everything on the stands makes you feel satisfied but not always happy, but you knows that you left it all,
The minimum you can expect from the 11 that are on the field, is to wet t-shirt, just like we do on the stands, jumping and singing supports wholeheartedly, that’s where the true passion is showed and the true fans acknowledge, make the opposite team fell small

Yes this 2010 I have the illusion that Chivas USA sacred flock would make it all the way.

The Salvadorian community and Union Ultras were gathered in the unveiling of the number 7  jersey to Osael Romero, who comes from the Vista Hermosa, the First Division club in El Salvador.

“I never imagined a big welcome. I know that Los Angeles is very “futbolistic”, and already existed in the past some references in the MLS with Mauricio Cienfuegos.”

“That’s why I will try to fulfill the expectations that were created with my arrival”

Romero is another addition to Chivas USA’s growing multi-ethnic squad with players such as striker Maykel Galindo

from Cuba, Brazilian Marcelo Saragosa and native Southern Californians from a variety of backgrounds such as Serbian-American Sacha Kljestan and Mexican-Americans Jonathan Bornstein, and Jorge

Flores.

As the jersey was presented to Romero, he was also welcomed, and presented with an Union Ultras scarf by one of the Ultras Representatives. As Romero received his scarf he was also unexpectedly welcomed with a chant dedicated to him by the Ultras. As the chant filled the air in the press conference room, he showed his gratitude by thanking the Ultras and wore the scarf for the rest of the press conference.

As the press conference came to a conclusion, Romero took a moment and thank those in

attendance. And promised to give his all in each and every game.

Chivas USA vs. Chicago Fire

June 24th, 2008

Tonight, Chivas USA won its fourth game in its last six contests. An awesome display of offensive attack and top level goalkeeping from Brad Guzan must have surely made MLS bigwigs gush with joy. Especially, since Chivas’ 2-0 drubbing of the once-might Chicago Fire was on ESPN2 before a national audience. This was Chivas USA soccer. Check that, futbol. The players may have changed slightly from past line-ups (again) but the voracious pursuit to put the ball in the back of the net was something not to common in the MLS. Don’t believe me? Even with one man down, Chicago still could not find the net in the seond half. Chivas USA is not an offensive juggernaut as of yet, make no mistake about it. However, you have wonder if Preki’s sadistically-intense practices and Denis Te Klose’s Ajax influence are starting to morph into a league version of “Total Football”. Don’t laugh. This team never stopped pushing forward and always had players shifting around to defend the ball and keep the attack flowing. Intense defense and sublime passing. The Fire look flustered.

The crowd was significantly larger than recent Chivas USA games and you can thank Chuatemoc Blanco for that. His Club America fans came out in droves. This was good for the league and most importantly, for Chivas USA finances. Unfortunately, this game also brought out the bad seeds, too. Club America’s infamous supporters, La Monumental, also came out to get their “Blanco” fix and brought their shanks to the game to celebrate. You may have spotted them during the telecast; they took off their shirts to show off their beer guts and Mexi-mullets and proceeded to spend the entire night trying to taunt Chivas fans in section 104. Thankfully, trouble was averted due in large part to the Department of Home Depot Security and a few dozen or so Las Angeles County sheriff’s deputies WITH GUNS. Oh well, it really is a double edged sword when Chicago fire comes to LA to play Chivas USA: good for business, bad for living free. Kudos to the Chivas USA front office for taking extreme security measures again to protect all the fans.

Here’s what I learned from this game about Chivas USA and not in any particular order. Raphael Wicky is still world class-quality, when healthy. Sascha Kljestan obviously is close to becoming the next Clint Dempsey or better. Pancho Mendoza is a better left back than left wing. Justin Braun plays better when knows he’s 6’3” 215lbs. Ante Razov can still play, no goals but 2 assists. Claudio Suarez is old, real old. Can he still defend? Damn skippy. Last, a copy of this game should be sent to every European football team that is in need of a goalkeeper who plays smart and fearless. I don’t think even MLS-hater Steven Cohen can’t argue that Guzan is world class now. Tonight’s game was really a global tryout for Brad Guzan. If Chivas USA doesn’t get at least 6 million in a transfer fee for this man, than something is wrong.

As for tonight, everything went right.
