I was at the Columbus Crew game tonight (3rd game of the season). It was a great game. We won 4 - 3. I can't really complain about a win, and I don't know of the last time we scored 4 goals in a game, but we had a 3 - 1 lead for about 30 seconds and then Chivas scored one to make it 3 -2, with possibly 15 minutes left (i could be wrong). And then then shot a long distance rocket that evened the score. So it was good that we were able to score the 4th goal for the win. For the last 8 minutes, we had a 2 man advantage, as one of Chivas' player received his 2nd yellow and was ejected, and shortly after, another Chivas player received a straight red card for taking down Schelotto out. But Chivas still had some opportunities after that, notably a decent corner kick. So it was a lot of fun, the crowd was amazing and we pulled off a victory..

Apprently "Chivas" means goats.. From a wikipedia article:
"Club Deportivo Guadalajara, also known as Guadalajara, usually referred to by its nickname Chivas (Goats), is a Mexican association football team...
The team's popularity in the U.S. has led to the creation of a Major League Soccer expansion club in the United States, Chivas USA".
Apparently their full name is Club Deportivo Chivas USA. They are based in Carson, CA.
