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.

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.

third-round selection in next year's supplemental draft

Wow, that's ALL Chivas USA had to give up. Great deal for the Chivas!
