It had nothing to do wth LA, he was all set to join but in the playoffs against Atlas he missed a crucial penalty kick and they were eliminated. He feels he has a debt to the Chivas fans and wants to play one more season (6 months) and and try make up for his mistake.
Cheers!
Roberto.

Is Paco Palencia really joining Chivas USA? I got the
impression that he didn't want to play at all in LA
and the Owner basically told him he had to or else.
Recently the owner said that Paco was going to finish
out with Guadalajara but I didn't read that Palencia
was coming to LA at that point.
