It's official: Juan Pablo Ángel joins Chivas USA | MLSsoccer.com

Good move for Chivas, LA will make due without him.

He had tweeted yesterday that he was at his first practice with Chicas.

Ya, I was waiting for MLS to announce it though.

 

[giaco]

always a smart move.

 

[Jntg4]

I really like the direction Chivas USA is going after being a doormat for a while.

I think they would do better if they moved to San Diego.

Ya, it's kind of unnecessary to have 2 teams in one city... though I do want the Cosmos back.

 

[giaco]

Oh no, I think 2 teams in 1 city is fantastic for the game. I just think that chicas (in particular) would do better in a different market and one in which they could capture the share rather than play 2nd fiddle.

Ya, I mean it's fine in NY or LA, because their teams draw better than us, but even in Chicago, the 3rd largest market in the US, it wouldn't work. But at the same time, I'd also like to see more cities get into the league.

For the Chivas, I agree because they can't compete with the Galaxy for attendance that easily, and I think moving and rebranding to include a city name would help, so I agree with you.
