Chivas USA 1, Earthquakes 0: A Supporter View

1

It took a lot longer than some might have expected, but Chivas USA has made the rugged climb from near the West basement to first place in the conference. Sure, the gap between first place and sixth place is only three points, but for the Goats, the climb was a victory of sorts.

Moral victories is all the Earthquakes seem to have these days, and even those are hard to come by.

Red Bulls 1, Chivas USA 1: A Supporter's View

0

Last week was an interesting week to be a New York soccer fan. On one hand you had the Showdown in Chinatown, a memorable charity game in Manhattan that featured some of sport's biggest stars, while on the other you had the Red Bulls beating Chivas de Guadalajara in a friendly. Except for Claudio Reyna playing in the charity match, there was something for Red Bulls fans to be happy about.

Chivas USA 2, Fire 0: A Supporter's View

The Goats are back (for now).

After a two-game losing streak with two shutout losses, Chivas USA looked like it might slip back into its early-season funk. Not so fast. All the Goats did was put together a convincing 2-0 win against the suddenly slumping Chicago Fire.

Real Salt Lake 1, Chivas USA 0: A Supporter's View

2

What happened to Chivas USA? After rattling off three straight wins, the Goats had the look of the team that finished first in the regular season. Now, after two straight shutout losses, Chivas USA is reeling again.

Real Salt Lake knows all about bad streaks, but RSL is currently riding a pretty good one.

Chivas USA 2, Crew 0: A Supporter's View

1

Call them the Starsky and Hutch of MLS. Jesse Marsch and Jorge Flores have formed an entertaining tandem that keep finding new ways to defeat opponents. Now if only they could get the orange Dodge Charger.

Chivas USA fans won't care what Marsch, Flores and the Goats drive as long as they keep the three-match winning streak going tonight against the New York Red Bulls.

Chivas USA 2, Rapids 1: A Supporter's View

2

Just when you thought Chivas USA was looking like it might go from first to worst in the Western Conference in just one year, the Goats have awakened and rattled off two straight wins. Just when you thought the Colorado Rapids were going to establish themselves as the best in the West, they go and deliver a flat performance at home.

Chivas USA 3, D.C. United 1: Supporter's View

2

(Apologies to D.C. fans for not posting this Supporter's View from the weekend sooner. Although it's a bit late, the D.C. perspective offered by Joel Sanderson still pretty much applies even after last night's loss to Toronto FC.)

D.C. looked like it would find a victory out west, a precious three points to stem the tide and offer the club some sorely-needed relief from a disappointing early season.

Revolution 2, Chivas USA 1: A Supporter's View

1

Things are getting ugly for Chivas USA. The same team that showed so much skill and creativity and potential last season has returned in 2008 looking like a disjointed mess.

New England could have fallen into a similar hole early on this season due to injuries, but strong performances from the Revolution's reserves have kept the Revs afloat in the mighty Eastern Conference.

Los Angeles Galaxy 5, Chivas USA 2: A Supporter's View

0

It had the makings of a tightly-contested rivalry match. The LA Galaxy and Chivas USA were tied 2-2 late in the second half in a match that looked destined to be a tie.

At least before the Chivas USA imploded, Brad Guzan reverted to his awful rookie form and Alan Gordon did his best Bizarro Alan Gordon impression.

SBI MLS Player of the Week/Weak

0

It is rare to find a performance so thoroughly dominant that it overshadows the kind of games we saw this weekend, but Landon Donovan had that sort of performance.

The Los Angeles Galaxy forward had THREE goals and an assist in the Galaxy's 5-2 thrashing of Chivas USA on Saturday, upping his goal total to eight (which according to Max Bretos puts Donovan on pace for 225 career goals).

FC Dallas 2, Chivas USA 0: A Supporter's View

0

Before the season began, a Chivas USA-FC Dallas match might have been seen as a potential Western Conference final between two young teams that showed great promise in 2007. A month into the new season and only one of these two has lived up to that promise.

FC Dallas remained unbeaten while Chivas USA remained unhinged in the Hoops' 2-0 victory against the Goats on Sunday night.

A Supporter's View: Chivas USA

0

After two weeks of getting positive results despite not playing that well, Chivas USA finally paid for playing below the form the Goats showed for most of 2007.

Columbus exposed Chivas USA in a 4-3 shootout that saw Sacha Kljestan red carded and Brad Guzan give up the game-winning goal in messy fashion, leaving Chivas USA fans wondering whether their team will ever match last year's regular-season success.

Chivas USA at Columbus Crew: Your Running Commentary

1

The Columbus Crew will be looking to erase the memories of last week's lackluster performance against the Red Bulls, but it won't be easy against a Chivas USA team that has managed to get results despite not playing its best soccer.

Crew Stadium won't have an army of visiting fans so look for the Crew to be pushed by a home team eager to see its team show the form that helped Columbus win the season opener against Toronto FC.

Red Bulls fall to Chivas USA, 1-0, in preseason opener

5

Ante Razov scored in the fourth minute off a feed from Sacha Kljestan to give Chivas USA a 1-0 preseason victory against the Red Bulls at Home Depot Center in Carson, California.

Yes, that's trialist and former MetroStar Diego Serna on the ball (with Claudio Suarez closing him down).
