OK guys the announcement has already been made and like or not one of the expansion teams will be Chivas USA. Since we are already part of the league don't you think we deserve our own team forum too?

Sure, the team might not start playing until 2005 but that's not stopping us from trying to build one of the strongest supporter groups in the US.

AWANTE CHIVAS!!!
AWANTE LEGION 1908!!!

What I heard announced was that Chivas was going to operate a franchise, that does not necessarily mean start an expansion team...hasn't SJ been on the market for an operator for a while?

Chivas owner Jorge Vergara specifically stated that he will operate a new MLS franchise at a city to be determined. He will not be taking over any of the existing MLS teams. The new expansion cities will be unveiled in November according to Don Garber.

This was made official last Friday.

I highly doubt it'll be called Chivas USA. And if it is, my support for MLS may end.

They'll just be called Chivas.

And, every fan of MLS will hate them..

And, they will be the 96-00 Clash and finish LAST every season, BECAUSE the team will be a Chivas farm team...

MLS is totally ********ing up on this one.

I have been an MLS supporter since it started in 96 and I went to almost all the Burn games on the first season. However, the Burn has always lacked passion, desire and players you can identify with. I have distanced myself from the team ever since. This year I gave them another shot on opening day and the stadium was so craptacular that I promised myself not to return again until they move to Southlake.

Chivas on the other hand, has always been my favorite team and you bet me and many others will support them in MLS. I know it will be a completely different team from the real Chivas but I don't care, is all about the red, white and blue (And I don't mean the US flag)

We are determined to create a true soccer atmosphere at MLS stadiums because right now the atmosphere at games is very boring... this is not golf people!

I too support Guadalajara. I just never understand how come people never support their home teams. I follow 4 teams very closely, however the Quakes are my home team and I'll support them regardless of the attendance (the lowest in the league) or how bad of a run they've had. Believe me, they had some pretty bad years. Good luck to your expansion team and keep the faith in Dallas. They need you.

I'm not sure that MLS is ********ing the pooch on this one. Creating a team that will have "immense" support from the Hispanic population is a good business move. It also creates a team that current MLS fans (Mainly in Dallas, Colorado, LA, and San Jose) will loath. Rivalry is good no matter how you put it.

Why should an ownership group's origen make ANY difference in your support for soccer?

Don't let the door hit you in the arse...
