El alma

Chivas plays with Mexican players only. Puros mexicanos, no exceptions, and that rule turned a soccer club into a national symbol. When you support Chivas you are saying something about identity, about pride, about being from here even when you live over there. That is why the Rebano travels so heavy across the border, the Chivas jersey in a Texas carne asada is a flag. The Clasico Nacional against America is Mexico's biggest game, red and white against yellow and blue, humildad against realeza, at least that is how the Chivas side tells it.

El Tío opina

Órale, this one is not just a team, nephew, this one is a statement. Chivas plays with Mexican players only. Puros mexicanos, sin excepciones, and that one rule turned a soccer club into a flag. When you wear the rojiblanca you are saying something about who you are, about pride, about being from here even when "here" is a carne asada in Texas. That is why el Rebaño Sagrado travels so heavy across the border, primo, that jersey is identity you can put on. Twelve leagues, second only to you know who, and the Clásico Nacional against América is the biggest fight in the country: humildad against realeza, at least that is how our side tells it. You did not choose Chivas, nephew. Chivas was handed to you por tu papá, and that is exactly how it should be.
