Tigres trains, fans fawn



Tigres was one of four teams that trained in Southern California on Monday. Tigres trained on the field that Chivas USA used for most of the 2006 season, University Field 1. There was a crowd that gathered there, a crowd of anxious and excited fans. They did not appear to be solely Tigres fans, for Chivas, Morelia and El Tri jerseys dominated the landscape. They were simply fans of Mexican soccer, thrilled at the opportunity to see one of their beloved teams training within yards of them.

Jimmy Lozano knocked his famous set pieces - in this instance a corner kick - as interested onlookers gazed excitedly.
