Chivas' Steep Decline

In the first 13 games of this season in the Mexican league (which is to say, in the games before Chicharito was sold to Man U), Chivas came away with ten wins and 31 points, a record opening to the year. This span also included a 3-0 record against the teams that remain alive in the playoffs. In their seven games since, they won once and lost six, for a grand total of one point. They completed the pathetic finish this weekend with a 1-0 loss to Morelia, which left them out of the Liguilla. They should have waited until this summer to make the Man U deal.
