Javier “Chicharito” Hernández is one of the most famous Mexican soccer players ever.
Nearly three hours before the start of the Chicago Fire-Los Angeles Galaxy game Saturday night at Soldier Field, Reina Gonzalez was feeling conflicted.Gonzalez always has supported the Fire but is also a longtime Chivas de Guadalajara supporter, the club that Hernández burst onto the scene as one of the most prolific goal scorers in Mexican soccer.
One such fan, Juan Galacia, brought his entire family to Soldier Field. Every member of the family sported a Chicharito jersey, paying no mind to the fact the game was in an opposing team’s stadium. The Galacias were hardly an exception in the crowd, as evidenced by many tailgaters outside Soldier Field wearing Chivas, Galaxy or Mexican national team gear or hanging around vehicles adorned with Mexican flags.

It’s just sound and energy that I try to manipulate in a very positive way, in my favor, to transform it into anything that I want.”“It’s awesome to see that he’s at a higher level,” Garcia said. “To me, as a striker, it’s really difficult. Sometimes you get frustrated if you don’t get the ball or you don’t get many opportunities and stuff.
