January at Home Depot Center would not be complete without InterLiga. On the field the Galaxy used as their main training field in 2006, Club America set up shop. It's probably the easiest field to keep fans away from.
Which apparently was the intention. Just walking up toward the training field, I heard the unmistakable chants from La Monumental, America's large and feisty supporters group. I knew it was them when I heard them mention Chivas and Cruz Azul in not-so-flattering terms.
You can say what you want about America's fans and the club itself but you can't say that they aren't passionate and loyal. Like them, hate them, don't care about them, whatever the case is, you have to respect their fire, especially when they come out en masse to watch a practice.
I mean, we're talking about practice here.
