Chatting with Chivas USA: Marsch
A weekly feature that puts your favorite Chivas USA players on the spot
Jim Curtin. He's got a very dry sense of sarcasm. He's like a tiger, waiting in the grass to kill somebody with a joke.
Who's the funniest guy not on Chivas USA?
I would have to say that Clint Mathis is pretty funny. Ben Olsen has a great personality. And Preston Burpo is really funny too.
What's the most number of miles you've run in one time?
Probably fifteen. I used to be a runner when I was a kid.
What percent of the Chivas USA roster do you think you could beat in ping-pong?
It used to be very high, but I haven't played in a while. I'll have to say 85%.
Who are you sure you could beat?
I'm sure I could beat Carey Talley and Zach Thornton.
How many languages do you speak?
My English is good. And I probably speak a third of Spanish and a half of French. So, I guess that's one and five sixths if you do the math.
What sports do you play beside soccer?
I've picked up surfing. I also like beach volleyball, basketball, golf, and racquetball. I dabble in a little bit of everything.
What sport are you worst at?
I'm not a good baseball player. My hand-eye coordination isn't as good as it should be.

Who's the toughest player to play against in MLS?
Leonel Alvarez back in the day. He was strong and fit and mean. The hardest guy to deal with was probably Rui Costa when we played against Milan.
What's the ugliest soccer jersey you've ever seen or worn?
Palermo. That pink is bad news.
Who would play you in the Hollywood version of your life?
I'd say Bill Paxton, just because I look a little like him. I think he's quiet, but still good, and that's kind of how I am as a player.
What would be the title of your autobiography?
If you're talking about soccer, then something like, "Here We Go Again." But if we're talking about my personal life, then probably "On Top of the World."
If you could choose entrance music for when you came onto the field, what would it be?
I would go with "Under a Blood Red Sky" by U2.
Okay, lastly, here's your quiz for the day. How many goals has Carey Talley scored in MLS?
I'll go with nine.
You're a little low. The answer is 18! Thanks for playing!
