Chivas USA Camp Update
Three items:
*The Chivas USA-LMU scrimmage Thursday scheduled for Loyola Marymount's Westchester campus will now take place in Carson at Home Depot Center's field 6. Kick off: 11 a.m.
*Schedule update noted - The road game against the New England Revolution originally scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 15, has been switched to Wednesday, May 5.
* This last item has not just been rumor - it's pretty much been an open secret considering Jesse Marsch spent the last week or so in attendance at the USMNT training camp in January and that at age 36 he didn't want to risk serious injury by continuing playing in the wake of the concussion he suffered last season.
Marsh hasn't been at Chivas USA training camp at all this season as Coach Martin Vasquez has (pointedly) pointed out. The club had envisioned announcing Marsch's retirement (and new job) last week, but obviously that didn't occur.
And it makes D.C. United's Jaime Moreno the last of the MLS originals still playing in the league after Steve Ralston returned home to the USL in St. Louis, no?

Nice dig on Jaime Moreno, maybe if Ralston and Jesse Marsch had done half of what Jaime Moreno did in the MLS you wouldn't anything to write about. Keeping on bro!
So, is Ante Razov done and gone? Any news on him? Or, did I just miss some announcement?
Good question. That's one of the things I have to ask Martin Vasquez about Monday. But Like Jesse Marsch, I suspect he's retired and Chivas USA just hasn't made a formal announcement yet.
