Fantastic piece, thanks. A bit pricy though, might give it miss! What time does other bus leave the Liberty
Guadalajara seems like a good club. They only play Mexican players, so to do so well with that limitation is to be respected!
There's two teams at Chivas, one is in the second division - It's not clear which one we are playing!! Reports from the USA suggest it's the main Club, but Soccerway has us down as playing the team in Mexican Division 2.
The most ugliest stadium i have ever seen and the shape of it is a huge disadvantage to the swans. Surely they could find a better stadium than that...
Apparently Davies was pulled from the game as a 10 million£ bid was accepted from spurs .... but , apparently , Rodgers wants to re bid.11 million to Liverpool is my guess because , apparently , Davies would like a chat with Rodgers .
Dyer scores, taylor sent off along with chivas player, swans concede a penalty in injury time(sound familiar) full time 1-1

American referee Andres Pfefferkorn, however, rejected the penalty appeals. Then, after six minutes, a well-worked move down the right saw Rangel thread through a pass for young Alex Bray, and when his perfect cross found Bafetimbi Gomis, the French striker's six-yard volley rose just over the crossbar. Lukasz Fabianski was then called into action for the first time as Fernando Arce robbed possession off Jonjo Shelvey and the Chivas midfielder teed up Angel Reyna, but he was denied by the Polish keeper as he padded his effort wide for a corner. Shortly after the Swans had the ball in the net, only for it to be ruled out for offside.

Another bullshit post.. the lads played great and should have won the game, they were the far better team against a team that had played 3 games all ready...well pleased with that display....
Attendance: 31,237 - so pretty good.It does look like they are playing in Paddington station though. I hope the late penalty howler is a sign of the season to come. I reckon the ref had watched too many world cup games
