GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!

This game lived up to all the hype. We had the best MLS team, Chivas USA versus Tigres UANL, a top club playing in the Federacion Mexicana de Futbol league. Only top flight teams are selected to the Superliga tournament, four from the U.S- Chivas USA, Chicago Fire, Kansas City, and New England Revolution and four from Mexico- Atlas, Tigres UANL, San Luis, and Santos. These games are passionate with this one being no different. We had flag waving, drum banging, whistling, chirping singing fans; non-stop end-to-end attacking football, yellow and red cards, and goals, including a unbelievable 'scissor kick' which made many highlight films for the goal of the week. The aura was electric.

View Armando Pulido's beautiful one-time scissor kick or as Mr. Amilicar Oberto says in Spanish a 'chilena' kick here:



In the end, Tigres came away with the win 2-1.

What a beautiful evening, great time, and experience for all.
