insidesocal.com 6/20/2008 — The biggest crowd of the year so far for a Chivas USA home game - 24,143 - saw a 2-0 win by the hosts Thursday over the Chicago Fire that was thoroughly entertaining to watch.

100 Percent Soccer
The second half was exactly as one might expect with Chivas USA up two goals and the Fire enjoying a man advantage; constant Chicago pressure, with Chivas resolutely defending.
Still, the Fire didn't boast too many clear-cut chances that would allow it to cut the 2-0 deficit, with shots going wide or goalmouth scrambles going nowhere.
One could even argue Chivas USA had the better ...

100 Percent Soccer
First off, this is a pulsating game, the players being spurred on by a large and boisterous crowd, which makes all the difference.
Chivas USA is leading 2-0 with Ante Razov playing a massive role in creating both, but Paulo Nagamura was sent off after receiving a second yellow card just before the end of the half, likely changing the whole complexion of the game.
Chivas USA had the ...

Nothing like a healthy hatred for Cuauhtemoc Blanco to bring out the Chivas USA fans.
A crowd in the low 20,000 range is expected tonight, which would be the biggest crowd for Chivas USA so far this year.
Brad Guzan has returned in goal for Chivas USA (4-6-2) from international duty, relegating backup Dan Kennedy to the bench.

The Offside Rules
I was a bit off on my NY - NE prediction yesterday so I'll refrain from making any calls today. Except for one: I'm calling for the end of soccer vids posted on Youtube. The resolution is so bad that it can make an Ariel Graziani no-angle banger look less than beautiful.
Blanco Eve & More —
100 Percent Soccer
MLS officials were unable to persuade Chicago Fire star Cuauhtémoc Blanco to speak at a press conference (or anything else for that matter) to take advantage of the post-Lakers hangover, so the nationally televised 7:30 p.m. game Thursday against Chivas USA at the Home Depot Center will come in with a whimper rather than a snarl.
I'm guessing the hope is Chivas USA doesn't have a ...

Chivas USA learned Tuesday they will play their third group game in SuperLiga against the New England Revolution at 5 p.m. Sunday July 20 at Cal State Fullerton's Titan Stadium.

Something I think all fans in Major League Soccer would like to see happen. Chivas USA move out of the Home Depot Center and into their own stadium. Apparently the talks are starting up and this club may soon see themselves not having to pay rent anymore to the Galaxy and AEG.
The city of Santa Ana are in talks with the Chivas owners about bringing the club to the city to build a soccer ...

Chivas USA Coach Preki took off Jonathan Bornstein and Atiba Harris at half time, replacing them with Justin Braun and Raphael Wicky.
It didn't help.
Statistically, Chivas USA held the edge over RSL in the second half in terms of shots. But not on the score board.
Final score: 1-0 RSL.
The Galaxy, meanwhile, defeated San Jose 3-0 with Edson Buddle scoring all three goals for his ...

Real Salt Lake, looking for their first-ever win against Chivas USA in Carson (and their first on the road this season), found something to build on in the first half, taking a 1-0 lead through Robbie Findley, for his third goal of the season.
RSL, which showed more attacking initiative than Chivas USA, deserved the lead. Indeed, Chivas USA were held to zero shots on target.
Chivas USA ...

100 Percent Soccer
A curious line-up this evening for Chivas USA Coach Preki.
Dan Kennedy makes his MLS debut in goal, while Sacha Kljestan also starts.
Does that mean Brad Guzan starts in goal Sunday for the U.S. against Barbados instead of Tim Howard? Does it also mean Kljestan won't even dress tomorrow for the World Cup qualifier?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Also, Jonathan Bornstein returns ...
