More Suckage

Jodi and I went to see the Quakes host Chivas USA on Saturday. I’ve revised my suck-stance: Chivas USA sucks- they lost 0-3. I’m glad the Quakes won. I’m a Quakes fan and was there to see them win, but I have a soft spot for Chivas as I lived in Guadalajara.

But Chivas USA is a big stinking turd of a team. They played dirty-ball (two minor “fights” and 3 or 4 cards?). Even Ramon Ramirez was a dickwad. Uggh. The weird thing is how Chivas fans show up to root for Chivas USA. I’m sure that’s what MLS wanted but these ain’t the Chivas fans I used to know.

At least the Chivas/Chivas USA fans know about soccer and know when to boo a bad call and clap for good plays. The majority of the crowd was still the Saturday night soccer-team babysitters- 2 or 3 parents that take a group of about 10 kids to the game and let them run wild. Then the parents stand up and talk to each other like they’re networking. You can tell they’re not the kind of parents who ever go to pro sports events because of the way they stand up and block views during plays, their timing of their concessions visits and the fact that they leave early (a deifinte no-no in Chuck F’s book, which I adopted long ago).

Okay, rant over- I had a good time, I’m glad I saw a gooddecent game w/ good company and a good result for the Quakes.

Oh and during the game, Texas beat Ohio State. \m/ Hook ‘Em!! \m/

wrt to “teh suck” I decided *I* can say something sucks, but if I’m a player I can’t refer to another team that way (how’s that Jeff?).
