Must have impressed during that friendly.
Could be nice fit for a few years. Mess of a team, but they have a new coach, Lochhead knows MLS, and he will be able to provide much needed veteran leadership.
Must have been in the market for a scapegoat
Fuck this stupid game
best of luck to him, he has done a reasonable job for us with both club and country. some people should stop being cunts about him.

Kotahitanga. We are one.

In the MLS environment he's probably quite a good pick-up for them. Experienced but cheap.
I would like to see how he would have performed under Ernie Magic.

While no Lochhead fan, who knows, maybe a change of environment and having to fight to start might be what Tony needs to recapture his form of old.

Game Notes: Lochhead has been the weakest link in the 1st half
Chivas' former director of communications on why the club failed as an artificial transplant of the Mexican parent club:

Temporarily owned by MLS until they find new owners by the end of the year and will change it's name after this season, severing all ties with Chivas Guadalajara.
Will also build their own stadium, moving from the Stub Hub (formerly Home Depot) stadium they have shared since inception with LA Galaxy.

weird that they are wearing old Russia kits
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
weird that they are wearing old Russia kits
TOP EXPLANATION FROM DON'TASKME.COM AND CONSPIRACY.COM:
Maybe since Chivas USA until this week have been a Mexican-owned club, they are Trotskyites and it's in honour of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky who settled in Mexico and "got an ice pick that made his ears burn" (the Stranglers, "No More Heroes") in Mexico in 1940 courtesy of Uncle Joe Stalin's henchman. Or, on the other hand, if parent club Chivas Guadalajara are Stalinists, it's to remind people of the Russian party line emanating from Uncle Joe.
Either that or Chivas are hoping a strip that looks Russian will attract bored Russian billionaires to invest in their club. The name "Chivas" after all could be the Mexican word for "Chelsea". Chelski and Chivaski are also similar...

FINAL TRAINING SESSION:
Chivas USA's final training session in Tucson, Ariz. began by Head Coach Wilmer Cabrera addressing the group at midfield to explain the day’s goals and get the squad on the same page. Immediately after the talk, the Red-and-White commenced their warmup routine by jogging around the pitch and doing cardio work by the sideline.
Chivas USA finished second in the round robin section and play off v. Real Salt Lake for second/ third in the tournament:
1 Chicago Fire 2 Chivas USA 3 Real Salt Lake 4 New England Revolution 5 Colorado Rapids 6 FC Tucson
Round robin winners Chicago play Chivas Rayadas de Guadalajara Second Div. team from Mexico in an exhibition match.

Any idea how he played? Good on him. Love how he can't get a start here but can there

MLS' match center is great, has all the goals. He would be partially at fault for the first conceded.

Ends 1-1. Haven't seen the video of the goal yet, so can't blame Lochy just yet.

Are you not familiar with how these forums work ?
Lochhead had an ok game. Chivas USA went down to 10 men early in the game, but was effective on the counter against lethargic Vancouver Whitecaps and really should have had more than 1 goal. Vancouver scored from Kekuta Manneh who tormented Chivas USA right back with his dribbling, but Lochhead was not at fault.
Still don't think he's MLS starter quality, but then again, entire Chivas USA team has been playing well
