[edit] We need to give this article (and most other Mexican club articles) an overhaul
According to the Manual of Style for club articles, there should be "Stadium," "Colors", "Crest," and "Supporters" subsections describing each of those aspects of the club, yet this article lacks all of those. For "Supporters," I suppose we could list La Monumental or ChikagoAzulkrema as the two most important barras for America, but that is only the way I see it. I'm sure guys from Pibes think they're important as well. We should come to a consensus as to what barra(s) is/are the most important and describe their activities and/or culture and how they are relevant to America. The "Colors" and "Crest" subsections could be taken from the stuff that's already under "History." As for the "Stadium" subsection, I have not been able to find where America played before they moved to the Azteca. If anyone could do some serious research I'm sure you'd find out where (probably some name-less field in Mexico City). I ask any willing editor to help out with this and pretty much every other Mexican club article, as most are pretty awful and are vandalized on a daily basis.--DethFromAbove 10:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
The problem is simple and easy to solve. Don't let mexicans modify their own pages. Their translations suck, they're biased as hell. It sucks to say it but their behavior on-line is just crap.
[edit] Won/Loss
Someone edited the article to say that america lost the last 3 things. is this true?
Answer: Of course and we must change this because America is a popular team and why not the biggest from Mexico. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.60.164.70 (talk) 16:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Because it is not the biggest, or at least that you cannot prove; it is subject to personal opinion. We have to stick to the rules and we cannot be biased in our editing despite being fans (like me). Besides, and it is a fact, Chivas is the biggest (and most successful in the league) club in Mexico.

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

[edit] Do they have any peaceful fans?
The article, as is, makes it seem like the club's fans consist entirely of a firm. Do they have any supporters in Mexico not involved in firm activity? Secondly, I would like to know their "nicknames", if they even have one. I assume people call them the eagles, or golden eagles, or something, but I don't know. I've liked this club after I saw them play a really great game, while I was Mexico (on T.V. of course). Does anyone have the knowledge to answer these questions for me and add them to the article? ==you're so fucking stupid... asshole Thanks.--BigBearC 06:16, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes the Amigos Fan club, composed of Ex mexican convicts who escaped from Alcatraz in the 60s. They currently are active in the Los Angeles area and meet at alocal bar for the games. Their founder is Louis Martinez. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.238.26.49 (talk) 04:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
