From blueprints of Volcano Stadium to execution, Chivas de Guadalajara’s new home Estadio Chivas is almost complete.

Sitting here watching Man U/Liverpool and thought I’d remind everybody there are two other great derbys to catch today.  One is the Mexican clasico between Chivas and America and the other is the Super Clasico in Argentina between Boca and River.  River/Boca is on at 12:15 PST and Chivas/America is at 3:30 PST. GREAT DAY!!

By the way Torres just showed why he leads the EPL in goals and why he might be the best forward in the world. Timing, balance, strength, and a quality finish!

Chivas de Guadalajara defender Hector Reynoso won’t be taking part in the Copa Libertadores anytime soon after being suspended indefinitely following his Spitting multiple times and Coughing in the face of Sebastian Penco, actions interpreted as “threating to spread the Swine Flu.”

There is absolutely no doubt Chivas’ Hector Reynoso is a great player, but this is unacceptable on so many levels especially with the current climate worldwide. Spitting in someone’s face multiple times, then blowing snot in the face of the same opponent infuriates the shit out of me….

Very interested in seeing how this is handled.

Chivas Vice President Nestor de la Torre is looking set to take over the Director of Mexican National Teams after the resignation of Guillermo Cantu just last week.
