    Great to see Cruz Azul return to the Bay Area. I'm hoping they choose SBC park instead of the Oakland coliseum.

    What records do they take into account when figuring out what teams will participate? I was hoping my Santos would qualify.

    The Interliga is obviously just there for economic purposes... Anything to make money off games in the U.S.

    Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule

    Cuz they won the title in the last apertura so they have to play the Concacaf tournament and if they win that, they can go to el mundial de clubes.

    My bad...:eek: you're right. I remember when Pachuca and Chivas played. They were fun, intense games to watch. Too bad los Tuzos aren't looking too good before el mundial de clubes. If Pachuca was still in their prime they'd have a good shot at winning the whole thing.

    Man, theres really isn't a strong team in that bunch, unless those teams change their gameplay.

    The most strongest is Toluca, but toluca is well known to choke in Intl. competitions.

    They should spread some of those games around to other US cities, it always go to the same places Dalals and LA.

    Code:
    Round 1
    07-12-07  Match 1.  [b]Japan Club[/b]        -  Waitakere United
    
    Round 2
    09-12-07  Match 2.  CAF Club          -  Pachuca
    10-12-07  Match 3.  Winner Match 1.   -  [b]AFC Club[/b]
    
    
    that's BS like always from fifa, the Japanese club at home will most likely beat the team from New Zealand, and then they'll play against the AFC champion(and I believe there's a Japanese club playing in the final of the AFC's club comp.) so there at least will be an Asian club for sure in the semis, most likely a Japanese one, fifa like always fixing their tourneys and helping either Brazil or the asians what a load of shit............:mad:
