Club History
One of two expansion teams in 2005, Chivas USA is part soccer club, part experiment. The side is an offshoot of owner Jorge Vergara's Chivas de Guadalajara, the Mexican club famed for using only Mexican players. Vergara instituted a similar rule at Chivas USA "although loosely" by signing predominantly Latino players, including Mexican legend Ramon Ramirez. But the experiment has not worked very well so far, as Chivas USA has languished since its founding, failing to make it past the first round of the playoffs.
