Sergio Avila vs Alfredo Moreno

By: Albert | Comments 2 Comments

Its all about the Chivas vs America rivalry.
Started by the new Americanista, Alfredo Moreno, then responded to by Sergio “Gaucho” Avila from Chivas. Alfredo, newly arrived at America, stating that he was basically glad to be in the Best team in Mexico, etc. Innocent I guess.
