Exhibition Games and the Offseason

So far ChivasUSA's off season has been filled with many varying results. Though, 0-2-2 in preseason MLS matches, Chivas has picked up a few new players to add to their squad and increased their image in Southern California. As with any team starting with a new coach, it takes quite awhile for the team to adjust. In Chivas' case Preki has proven to be a half-way decent fit thus far, as he has continues Bob Bradley's intensity on the field, but this is just the pre-season and Preki's real test will come against Tornoto FC. The team itself must work together to ensure unity and continued connected play during the season that was readily seen last season; crisp passing and logical play.

I am planning on providing some in-depth analysis of Chivas this week, and be prepared for pre-match analysis for Toronto.

In other news Chivas will be playing the Seattle Sounders in an exhibition game June 2nd, which will give Chivas more exposure and a chance to play a variety of teams. Talking about exposure, SuenoMLS has been quite a boon for Chivas as numerous major news outlets in Southern California have written either about Jorge Flores' success in the competition or the competition itself.

United by a game and a dream

With the success of SuenoMLS we are witnessing an evolution in soccer in Southern California, as more kids are participating in the sport. What will be interesting is to see how this progresses over time as soccer gains more exposure on a National level.
