Chivas USA acquires Zizzo through lottery

Soccer Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sal Zizzo, a 23-year-old U.S. youth international, is now a member of Chivas USA following a weighted lottery which took place on Wednesday.

The Goats had the third best chance (16.28 percent) of landing the former UCLA product, who will play in his native California.

Zizzo started all five matches for the USA at the 2007 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, where he helped the Americans reach the quarterfinals of the competition.

He had been playing in Germany with Hannover since 2007, but he was limited to just eight appearances in the Bundesliga because of knee problems, and he became available after his contract expired this summer.

The California native played two years at UCLA before turning professional with Hannover after the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in July 2007. Zizzo made his senior national team debut later that same summer on August 22 against Sweden.

Four teams opted out of Wednesday's weighted lottery in which the percentage chances for winning the rights to the player were determined by each team's record over its last 30 regular season games. The New England Revolution, Chicago Fire, Toronto FC and Columbus Crew did not participate.

By virtue of winning the lottery, Chivas USA will not be eligible to participate in another lottery for the rest of the 2010 season.
