If you want to give Chivas USA credit for ANYTHING despite their huge failure: they did bring more Latinos to pay attention to the MLS, a league that is always mocked and made fun of By Latinos.
Even without being able to match Mexican clubs in competition, the overall level of MLS games week after week was simply sub-par compared to other leagues around the world anyway...
@@davepazz580 No it isn't, anywhere else in the world MLS would be a second division, the defense and keepers are so bad that makes me cringe every single time, not even amateur teams have such a shitty defensive strategy and useless defenders
I followed the MLS a bit as a kid, part of the reason why I'm a galaxy fan is because of there being a Chivas USA when me and my family are mostly Club America fans.
You hit it right on the nail, the problem was the Chivas name, (living in LA all my life and growing up as a Chivas fan, it was even hard for ME to take a "Chivas USA" brand with seriousness and respect.) Also, I remember hearing a rumor that Club America was looking at expanding in the US, I'm SO GLAD the Chivas USA project failed, imagine if Instead of LAFC, Atlanta United, etc, we were living in a reality where MLS had teams like Chivas USA, America USA, Real Madrid USA, OH HELL NO. Good video Danny
You're absolutely on the money with the targeting Latinos thing. Great concept on paper, but creating a team from scratch for the whole Latino community instead of a brand extension is a much better idea
I’m loving your channel I just discovered it yesterday and I’ve already learned a lot about the MLS. I initially started following when NYCFC came into the league since I’m from NY and RBNY still feels like a New Jersey team to me. Watching your videos taught me a lot about how the MLS functions and the history of the league. I haven’t been following closely since it’s hard to follow teams in other sports as well as European soccer leagues but I’m actually very excited for this season and the future of the MLS. Your channel has great content promoting the MLS and soccer in the United States. I’d love to see videos covering things going on throughout the 2020 MLS season since I as well as many others do want to follow the league but don’t have the time to watch MLS games. Hopefully your channel blows up as the MLS and soccer in the US gains even more popularity. You’re doing great!
I’ve had a hard time getting into soccer, but the history of the MLS is so interesting and odd that I’ve become enthralled with it as a general sports fan. I’m glad I found this in my recommended because I now have a channel to inform me on MLS happened and happenings
Lol history... if you want to get into football dont watch the mls. Watch the Bundesliga or the premier league, basically teams that would wipe there ass with any MLS team.
I know that Premier and Bundesliga are LEVELS above MLS in terms of talent. I just think that the fact that a soccer league in the US managed to find success is really interesting, especially considering the fact that it was in danger of folding in its early days. Not to mention its unique structure compared to the rest of the world. I guess I like unlikely success stories
@@dyslexofficial2798 Premier League history isn't as bizarre and unstable as MLS history. Like the Premier League has been a sanitized league from its inception in the early 1990s (founded basically by Rupert Murdoch for Sky), unlike the previous first division and the rest of the Football League. And everyone with eyes can tell that the Premier League and Bundesliga are significantly better than MLS. Like there's something endearing about MLS' history (and US soccer league history prior to MLS) because of how rocky it is. And you can easily watch the Premier League or Bundesliga in addition to MLS since European matches are early in the day (or morning on the west coast) and MLS matches are in the afternoon (and you could probably go to a match if you live near a major city with a team).
@@de132 wasnt really into football when i lived in Colorado. But next year Charlotte gets a team so im already planning on catching a few the first year.
With their good seasons (half their existence!), they should've brought in every Latino American! "Our team's better!".....should've been easy. Mexicans...they care about FB!
You mentioned the Manchester City Clubs, cause I was going to Mention Melbourne City has struggled to trump Melbourne Victory in the A-League, identical to the issue Chivas USA had.
I believe one the main reason,chivas usa declined even more, after 2011, was cause the xolo of tj became a first division team in Mexico.a good percent of the fans were based in san Diego/tj.
dave de L.B nah i just think latinos didnt want to identify with a Club with Mexican roots. Or maybe the latino community didnt want to support a club or care too much about mls. Im mexican american support the real Chivas from Mexico. and never went to a MLS match la galaxy chivas usa or lafc. I live nearby and dont find it exciting lol
@@dyslexofficial2798 eh I'm from Canada, and most soccer fans like supporting their local MLS/CPL clubs. Maybe it's just different in the States I guess.
Yo just a tip. I have a jersey wall in my bedroom similar to the one you have there. If you turn the hangar upside down so the hook is at the bottom, you can just balance the hanager in the pin or whatever and then it hides the hanger and just looks way nicer.
This was a great video. And I agree with everything you said! Especially the part where you said getting Liga MX fans to hop on board to support Chivas USA was going to be tough because many of them supported rival teams of Chivas Guadalajara. That is why you see LAFC being more successful. They have Chivas Guadalajara, Club America, Cruz Azul fans etc. RIP CHIVAS USA.
LAFC, or Levas, as I call them, now that is a worthy rival of the Galaxy. They have already won an MLS Cup and a US Open Cup. They can stay. The Trafico matches are always fun.
I’m a Chivas fan Im Mexican American and agree with you 100000% percent grew up loving Chivas USA but it had tons of flaws it hurt me a lot when they left 🥺😢💔
How about a video on this year's CCL? I do love watching your videos on the history of clubs. Maybe you can do history of coaches in the league and rebrands of each club and the new success.
You just scratched the surface on Vergara’s ambitions: he bought Deportivo Saprissa in Costa Rica around this time and later was setting up infrastructure for a Chivas team in Hefei, China (although this never materialized). Then there were always rumors that he was gonna try to do the same in other countries.
So many Recognizable Faces on that team. Carlos Bocanegra being the Technical Director and Brad Guzan of Atlanta United. Marsh as the Manager for RB Salzburg.
Good job. Very interesting history of the team. You mention they were second-tier so maybe they would have done better as a USL team. I agree about the Latino market and also agree that as a Santos Laguna fan I had a hard time cheering for Chivas USA. Maybe if the team was comprised of top players (semi-retired maybe for cost) of other Liga Mexico teams. Hard to say... Thanks for the retrospective.
DemoManMLS Real Madrid has the name "Real" because the King of Spain approved the club, just like Real Sociedad or Real Betis or Real C.D. Espanyol Barcelona etc.. That's why there are two teams from the same city/state in Spain. there is one who's proud of the King of spain. and one who is proud of the state like RCDE Barcelona (Spain) / FC Barcelona (Catalunya).. Real Sociedad (Spain) / Athletic Bilbao (Basque Country)... Real Madrid (Spain)/ Atlético Madrid (Madrid)... Real Betis Sevilla (Spain) / FC Sevilla (Andalousia)... etc with that being said idk if there is any king in Salt Lake City or in Utah who approved the team...
Yeah I love what it means in Spain, but it feels very unauthentic for SLS given the origin of Real. It’s like when they were looking to brand it they just chose from options that were already established rather than something authentic to Utah
You should consider doing a segment on Ray Gaddis. He is a much talked about figure prime in Philly lore. He is an amazing guy, and apparently clubhouse leader, but super one dimensional, and serves as a microcosm on the Union and their lack of 'flashy purchase ambition'. I personally think the club is turning a corner but an overview of his career, and the number of minutes he has yet to score a goal, would be quite the amazing story that few know
Lots of teams didn't have a stadium and wasn't enough teams. So it was a great idea. When they were doing very good they took bob Bradley to the USA national team. You can't spect a team be consistent when they move the players and the coaches. But that's the MLS was new. Now it's great and it's going to be better. Thank you for your video and now you have a new subscriber.
I was at Chivas's last-ever game in 2014. It was surreal to see kids and adults crying in the south end when the final whistle blew. At that point, I knew that the Dignity Health Sports Park would belong to one club, and one club only: the Galaxy.
13:29 LMAO 🤣 🤣🤣🤣 Now, I support Club América in the Liga MX & both Chivas & América are the hugest rivalry in Mexican Soccer. The idea of Chivas USA will only go towards fans of Chivas since Chivas only fields Mexican born Players. The only problem was that it just couldn’t target every Mexican Soccer fan such as myself, really only Chivas fans. Basically to any Mexican fan who wants to support for the MLS, just support one of the teams that have at least one Mexican Player or if your Mexican American, support the team that your state represents.
Chivas Mexico has a Bilbao type rule that bans non Mexican players. Chivas USA got sued for discrimination when they tried to replicate that in LA and the fans abandoned it for being just another MLS team. Without the Mexican only rule, Chivas USA wasn’t a real Chivas team.
@@TheShadowman79 just google "Morrissey Chivas" - he was often seen at Chivas games wearing the kit... played an entire show at the Hollywood Palladium in Chivas USA kits.....
Top work mate, keep em coming . Could you have a look into Penn FC (Once Harrisburg City Islanders) and wtf happened over there ? still don’t understand what went on
As much as I hate the purely Euro style names, even they're better than a name that doesn't even have the name of the city or state in it. It makes sense to give the Galaxy an in-town rival in, as you mentioned, the N° 2 market in the nation, but I'll take 1 called Los Angeles Football Club over 1 called Club Deportivo Chivas USA any day. So I was fine with Chivas USA folding. I had "purely" in that because names like Seattle Sounders FC are ok with me. At least it incorporates an American style name.
Yes a few of those names such as the Sounders (the "FC" is totally unnecessary there) are ok just as a novelty... but now they are *way* too many. The league should have simply gone back to naming teams like the old NASL... they made far more sense to the average person who lives in those cities.
I found this in my recommend and I am hook. You got a new subscriber. Could there be a video about the Burn to FC Dallas rebrand. And the the abandonment of the hoops. Just a suggestion :)
Chivas USA academy was actually really dope and successful, I enjoyed playing for them for years. It was never gonna survive at the MLS level though with the way American soccer is structured. So much lost talent.
As a chiva-hermano i put Jorge Vergara meh position that the only good thing was bulid our own stadium, actually with his son Amaury the issues still goes inner instability & bad results on field
At least the new team started by creating a new image for itself instead of using the same name and image of another club... even though the silly "F.C." is way overplayed now.
Attendence was so bad that they gave out free Chivas USA tickets at local L.A. public schools when I was in middle school and high school 😂 they would raffle them off too
The only thing I remember about Chivas USA is Cubo Torres and the fact that they couldn't fill the home depot center to save their lives.... That's pretty much it......
Shout out to @DannyTRadio For this video. No wonder why @mls try to memory hole "Chivas USA" as much as they can. I bet @bguzan Of @atlutd was tramautized while playing for that team. He is a beast of a GK now on the @USMNT and UTD . #uniteandconquer ruclips.net/video/cWl88ydb4eo/видео.html
I remember at the time Chivas USA first joined the league, people were saying all sorts of things like the new team would be mostly made up of the actual Chivas reserve bench players and were most certainly going dominate the league and win the MLS cup for like 10 years in a row because of this.... Another thing being said was that Chivas USA was going to have a strict "Hispanic-only" player policy (no non-Hispanic white or black players need apply!) This was definitely a case of MLS resorting to cheap gimmicks instead of taking the time to actually build a true support base and presence in a city. Sadly, the gimmicks continue to this day...
Honestly, I’m probably the one rear Chivas USA Can that still exists. I love that team they don’t exist yeah, but that was the team that made me love the MLS League and yeah I’ve adopted a new team in LAFC and let me tell you with constant heartbreaks when chivas usa couldn’t beat galaxy....LAFC beating them in the playoffs I teared up because Essentially before LAFC came into existence they were Chivas USA and the fact that they beat them gave me back the memories of Chivas USA

Yes a few of those names such as the Sounders (the "FC" is totally unnecessary there) are ok just as a novelty... but now they are *way* too many.
The league should have simply gone back to naming teams like the old NASL... they made far more sense to the average person who lives in those cities.
Chivas USA changed mls “supporter groups” forever. Before Chivas USA Americans had no idea how to support a football club. Stadiums had no passion.
I found this in my recommend and I am hook. You got a new subscriber. Could there be a video about the Burn to FC Dallas rebrand. And the the abandonment of the hoops. Just a suggestion :)
Would you consider NYRB/RB Leipzig similar in set up to Chivas/Chivas USA?
For like an entire decide I was confuse why the la market had two teams while the new York market had only one
That movie is amazing. On my top 5. Good video
9:45 That's what I noticed about Manchester City And Melbourne City FC they both have the same type of logo a long with New York City FC
Wow! this guys is a very smart guy when talking about soccer. Im a new subscriber.
Chivas USA academy was actually really dope and successful, I enjoyed playing for them for years. It was never gonna survive at the MLS level though with the way American soccer is structured. So much lost talent.
Some video ideas would be ranking the new adidas jerseys or just making predictions for the upcoming MLS season
As a chiva-hermano i put Jorge Vergara meh position that the only good thing was bulid our own stadium, actually with his son Amaury the issues still goes inner instability & bad results on field
I mean LAFC are kinda doing the same thing with mainly reaching out to Hispanic people but they're coming because of Carlos Vela
LA*
At least the new team started by creating a new image for itself instead of using the same name and image of another club... even though the silly "F.C." is way overplayed now.
@@davepazz580 the FC is what it is, a football club...
I know what it stands for but it makes no sense for any MLS team to use it...
Soccer coach for my highschool got a trial for Chivas USA a couple months before the team disbanded
I only went to see them once when they came to San Jose... I had my Club Deportivo Guadalajara Jersey...
When Chivas USA came around, I thought that there were going to be an America USA team.
I was still 12 years old.
Attendence was so bad that they gave out free Chivas USA tickets at local L.A. public schools when I was in middle school and high school 😂 they would raffle them off too
Good video dude! Arriba America !
The only thing I remember about Chivas USA is Cubo Torres and the fact that they couldn't fill the home depot center to save their lives.... That's pretty much it......
Cool man. SUBSCRIBED!
Shout out to @DannyTRadio
For this video. No wonder why @mls try to memory hole "Chivas USA" as much as they can. I bet @bguzan
Of @atlutd was tramautized while playing for that team. He is a beast of a GK now on the @USMNT and UTD . #uniteandconquer ruclips.net/video/cWl88ydb4eo/видео.html
Great video!
Excellent video!
I remember at the time Chivas USA first joined the league, people were saying all sorts of things like the new team would be mostly made up of the actual Chivas reserve bench players and were most certainly going dominate the league and win the MLS cup for like 10 years in a row because of this....
Another thing being said was that Chivas USA was going to have a strict "Hispanic-only" player policy (no non-Hispanic white or black players need apply!)
This was definitely a case of MLS resorting to cheap gimmicks instead of taking the time to actually build a true support base and presence in a city.
Sadly, the gimmicks continue to this day...
Honestly, I’m probably the one rear Chivas USA Can that still exists. I love that team they don’t exist yeah, but that was the team that made me love the MLS League and yeah I’ve adopted a new team in LAFC and let me tell you with constant heartbreaks when chivas usa couldn’t beat galaxy....LAFC beating them in the playoffs I teared up because Essentially before LAFC came into existence they were Chivas USA and the fact that they beat them gave me back the memories of Chivas USA
So yeah RIP Chivas USA
If they just named it LA goats and kept the colors it might have worked.
They should have just used the old NASL team name: the LA Aztecs... instead of this "chivas" nonsense.
I was always really confused about chivas
You forgot goalkeeper Dan Kennedy !
Mentioned Pachuca, you earned a subscriber
They were basically excluding half the population. No other team ever has tried that
