Chivas USA say easy decision to extend Erick "Cubo" Torres loan is part of 3-year plan Chivas USA’s loan extension of budding star Erick “Cubo” Torres earlier this week was as close to a no-brainer as it gets for first-year club president Nelson Rodriguez. The Rojiblancos knew for quite some time they would keep Torres, but opted to wait until this week to make it official. The 21-year-old will remain with the Goats for the remainder of the 2014 season, and the club has the option to retain his services beyond this year, as well. For the Goats, holding onto the player who has scored nine of their 14 goals this season was one huge sigh of relief. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...xtend-erick-cubo-torres-loan-part-3-year-plan
