Ah…So you’re the Wizards beat. Here’s to a grand year of competition and battling for something higher than the basement.

I know what you mean, Tom… I hope there’s still room for some animosity against the Wizards when Chivas is done hating Beckham and the Pretty Boys next door and Blanco in Chicago. The Wizards could use a little more passion out of its fanbase! (And Clint, if I go to a Wizards game and see said 250 pound woman, I will indeed feel as though I got my money’s worth.)

Interesting stuff. It seems there are a lot of teams who could be Chivas’ rivals now – there’s you, there’s the Galaxy, and there’s the Fire, given we’re now the home of Club America’s Blanco.

Wildly off-topic but I went to a Chivas-Club America game in San Jose about a million years ago with some friends and, apart from the game which was kind of dull, this is what I remember:

*Flags and singing throughout the game from the packed house

*TOO MANY guys with their shirts off (I guess if I was a chick I wouldn’t feel there were too many, but still… cover up them hairy chests while I’m eating nachos, man!)

*Awesome vendor food (I can’t get enough garlic fries)

*The stench of cheap beer EVERYWHERE

*Several fights in the stands

*Two guys passed out in their seats (by seats I mean their section of the bench since we all sit on benches at Spartan Stadium)

*A 250 pound woman yelling and sloshing her beer all around the aisles as she marched up and down throughout the game, challenging people to fights until she collapsed in a heap about two rows in front of us and rolled down several stairs before coming to a squishy stop at the feet of a little boy. Who immediately started screaming.

What can I say? I LOVED every minute of it! If KC can get a rivalry going with Chivas USA that comes anywhere near what I was seeing in an exhibition match a decade ago, you’ll be over the moon.
