 Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara

by: Maria Beteran

   [Club Deportivo Guadalajara emblem]My family and I come from the state of Jalisco in Mexico. Living outside of our country of birth, we miss different things such as our family members, but at the same time we bring some of these items with us to the US such as our love for the Club Guadalajara soccer team that was established in Guadalajara, Mexico. This is my father’s favorite soccer team and he has passed this liking of soccer to us. Club Guadalajara or Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara is a soccer team in the first division of the Mexican National League of Soccer. The team is composed of players who are Mexican born; they have won 10 championships and it is one of the most popular teams in Mexico. This past year the owner of the team has now formed another soccer team with the name Chivas USA, but in the US which will be part of the Major Soccer League of the United States. In Mexico soccer is the most popular sport and for us living here in the US to have another soccer team with the name Chivas USA represents part of our country and the liking of soccer.
