    That’s good that they are helping the team bond this way. Chivas USA screwed up (and is no longer a team) because they focused too much on Spanish and excluded players and staff that didn’t speak...

    That’s good that they are helping the team bond this way. Chivas USA screwed up (and is no longer a team) because they focused too much on Spanish and excluded players and staff that didn’t speak it. Getting the players to come together is so important and it’s nice to see the English speaking players try to meet the Spanish speaking ones half way

      Yeah considering that the norm for MLS is to have the young Spanish speaking recruits just learn English, I think it is really thoughtful that these guys stepped up to try and learn some Spanish....

      With the addition of Rooney to the team here, theres already been a huge improvement and I hope this really helps further build some team comraderie.

      Also RIP Chivas :/

    Communication is so key in sports. Also having an entire team thats multilingual is probably really good for branding
