The Chivas soccer team has set Guadalajara alight over recent weeks and smashed Mexican soccer records that have existed for decades.

Chivas' sensational start to the season smashed another record this weekend as they overcame Puebla 3-2 in the Estadio Jalisco.

Although enjoying their best ever start to a season in their history as a professional club, Guadalajara Chivas soccer fans will be disappointed to know that their team is only the second most popular in Mexico, according to a recent study by Consulta Mitosky.

Mexico's Winter Olympic team is made up of one man - a member of the Austrian royal family.

It couldn’t be more appropriate. The Guadalajara Chivas, the only soccer team with an all Mexican roster, are sitting pretty at the top of the standings in the seminal “Bicentennial 2010” championship.

For anyone who says soccer is boring, this weekend's games involving the Guadalajara metropolitan zone teams provided a sweet antidote.
