and forth battles between rival teams, some classic
comebacks, bitter defeats and sweet victories. Close
geographical proximity helps too.
Other rivalries can just appear out of thin air, the
result of a dirty play, a hard foul, a war of words
between players and coaches, or in the case of DC
United vs. Chivas, an outgrowth of the rivalry between
the USA and Mexico.
DC United is the consensus "best" franchise in the
MLS. 4 MLS Cups, last year's Supporter's Shield (best
MLS regular season record) and the reigning MLS MVP in
Christian Gomez. They are the only club in MLS
history to win an international trophy (the
Intercontinental Cup back in 1998) and play some of
the most attractive, attacking soccer in the league.
In other words, they represent the best of the US.
Chivas de Guadalajara is Mexico's most popular club.
Only Mexicans play for Chivas - home-grown talent, the
pride of Mexico, no foreigners, no imports, no
naturalized citizens. They represent the tradition,
skill, and dominance that Mexico has possessed,
especially in club soccer, in the CONCACAF region.
Would you miss a USA-Mexico match held at RFK? I know
I wouldn't. This is the next best thing. Mexico's
finest, Chivas versus the best of the USA, DC United.
I guarantee our Mexican neighbors will be turning out
in force to support and cheer on Chivas. The
atmosphere is going to be awesome, so make a night of
it. Join us Goleros for this game next Thursday
night, March 15. Let's kick off the new season in
style by watching a great soccer game, drinking a beer
or two, and maybe firing up the old parrilla and
cooking some food before the match.
We'll try and get another update regarding details out
to everyone soon, but in the meantime, I hope this
description of the game whets your appetite.

Hey, should we buy our tickets ahead of time? Carlos indicates that the game might be nearing capacity already?
