Unless the rule are changed. Kind of sucks since they have done so well in previous editions of the Libertadores.

damn that sucks..

yeah well we all knew this, that's why that game against toluca was crucial last season, oh well. guess mexico will be a bust next libertadores around, sad really.

[chololo]

so the only thing we can do is win the championship and go to la sudamericana and concacaf champions league

[Perndog2006]

other mexican teams will step up to the plate.. and even win la libertadores maybe.. lets just hope

I can't find the link anymore, but I read an espndeportes article (from Record, maybe Thur/Fri?) that said SUM was considering inviting 10 teams to the Interliga. Chivas would then have enough points to qualify.

point system doesnt really matter now does it...

[elluisillo]

chivas is looking for a deal with a team from bolivia so they can play match for a spot at the next libertadores,they just need the aproval from conmebol

[UNION_1906]

wat this libertadores coming up? because as champions, i dont think that would be likely... theres CONCACAF to be had

Sounds like a good idea but this can backfire and affect the team! Next year the MNT will compete in Gold Cup and Copa America and Hugo allready stated that Chivas will be the beas of the MNT!

Chivas apart from MFL will be competing in TFC Champions Cup and Copa Sudamericana, unless they skip the sudamericana and just stick with TFC Champions cup, which CONCACAF will demand that Chiva play with their starters.

Question: How do they decide which teams play in the interliga? I know they use a point system, but dont know the specifics. Can aybody elucidate?

It's a little weird in that they count the points from the two tournaments in the "school year" (2005-2006). So for instance, this time they count the points from Apertura 2005 and Clausura 2006. With the exception that if you won one of the two tournaments in the "calendar year" (2006), you don't go to the interliga (in this case Pachuca and Chivas, though Chivas didn't have the points anyway). Also, I think Toluca doesn't participate in this interliga because they already qualified to the libertadores by beating America (game between two champs of the previous year's (2005) tournaments).

As you can see, it gets a little complicated. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. I don't always remember the details.
