Chivas USA 2008 Season Preview
Posted on January 27, 2008 - Filed Under Chivas, MLS | 1 Comment
Club Deportivo Chivas USA
2007 Record: 15-7-8
Coach: Preki
Key Players: Ante Razov, Claudio Suarez, Maykel Galindo, Sasha Kljestan
Key Pickups: Alecko Eskandarian (from Real Salt Lake), Jim Curtain (from Chicago)
Key Losses: Brad Guzan (possibly to Celtic or Aston Villa)
2008 Outlook: Average
The Goats are coming off the best season in team history. Preki, voted Coach of the Year in his first year, remarkably led the team to the second-best record in the league. The list of the team’s 2007 achievements is almost too long to fit in one post: they scored the most goals in the West, allowed the second-least goals in the entire league, and perhaps most troubling for opponents, finished with an unbelievable 10-1-4 record at home during which only eight (8) goals were allowed. That is an almost unbelievable one-half goal per game average at home.
