Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule Great to see Cruz Azul return to the Bay Area. I'm hoping they choose SBC park instead of the Oakland coliseum.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule Would of thought that they would of placed America in Houston.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule What records do they take into account when figuring out what teams will participate? I was hoping my Santos would qualify.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule The eight teams participating in InterLiga 2008 earned berths based on their combined record in the 2006 Apertura and 2007 Clausura seasons of the Mexican domestic league.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule It's a tournament set up to decide 2 of Mexico's 3 spots in the Copa Libertadores.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule 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.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule Nope, they already played in concacaf they lost the final to Pachuca don't you remember, they are not in the interliga because they are already in the copa libertadores as Mexico 1....................unless they win the Apertura 07 then they'll have to play in concacaf just like pachuca will.........
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule My bad... 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.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule You don't remember last year's? When Barca lost to Internacional de Porto Alegre in the final? It's held in Japan every year.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule 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.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule yea i remeber that 1, whens the new 1 the strongest teams in that table are CA AMerica n Toluca
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule They should spread some of those games around to other US cities, it always go to the same places Dalals and LA.
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule 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............
Re: Interliga 2008 Groups and Schedule I agree, but their excuse is that it's played in January.........
