so lets get this straight. I do remember that the Mexican league held like a separate in league qualifying tournament to get into the Libertadores. And the CONCACAF champs league gets the Mexican teams based on on the final standings of the season?

Just saw the game..... 2-2 is very bad. It will be tought that we go through the next round.

pwned.



p.s. nachos answer the question I asked irectum, you might have some more knowledge of it since ive been told you love the mexican league.

allow me to respond eddie

as for libertadores, the FMF (mexican football federation -spanish acronym-) organizes a mini-tournament between 8 teams to drain 2 teams going directly to group stages in the tournament. a third one, plays a pre-qualification game to win its access to a group as well.

CONCACAF champs, which is attended by the champions of both the clausura and apertura mexican tournaments.

as a personal opinion, our football "league" (they like to call it like that but is not a league at all) is a fukin joke. it lacks consistency and regularity, because it has the "liguilla" which is an actual tournament inside the very same tournament (sorry, league) with the best 2 teams of each group, but as some groups are weaker than anothers, four teams get the chance to get in said tournament, also known as "repechaje". i.e. the 12th team in general table gets the chance of go through and, for some reason, beat the best team of the tournament in an 2legs match and becomes the champion. how fuckin pathetic is that, the best team worked their asses off to make the most points by winning matches and playing good football and thanks to the liguilla a very low team gets the chance of beating them and becomes "the best team of the league".

anyway, that was off topic. let's continue with the BOca pwning, shall we?

lol that sucks....here in Colombia its pretty simple. We have 2 seasons in a year, winners of both seasons qualify for the libertadores and the 3rd team to qualify is whoever had the best overall points in both seasons.
Also we have a playoffs for each season, top 8 teams after the season is over are split into 2 groups and play each other twice. Winner of each group play in the championship game.

Ive never gotten into the Mexican league even if univision and telemundo tried to cram it down our throats(if they wanna show hispanic leagues on TV they should cater to the hispanic audience more rather than the Mexicans only and show/talk about the Argie,Brazillian,Colombian leagues etc.. a little more.)
Also the Mexican league has some Colombian players on it and I still dont watch haha.

I hope Univision gets rid of that golazo! asshole! asshole! asshollllllle!!! commentator that theyve had since the 2002 world cup. Been saying this since then.

I am not very familiar with the mexican leauge, but it is a drag to watch. They do have exiting players but the games themselves bore me. The only time i watch mexican teams is for the copa libertadores.

You got it right. However, CONCACAF already changed this. Now it is four teams from Mexico.

Clasificados de México

MEX1: 2007 Campeón Torneo Apertura (Atlante FC)
MEX2: 2008 Campeón Torneo Clausura (TBD)
MEX3: 2007 Subcampeón Torneo Apertura (Pumas UNAM)
MEX4: 2008 Subcampeón Torneo Clausura (TBD)

CONCACAF Champions league qualification format announced

quote:

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) unveiled the qualification format for the inaugural 2008-09 CONCACAF Champions League, it was announced on Wednesday. The new CONCACAF Champions League will be comprised of 24 teams, representing each of CONCACAF's regions, including four teams each from Mexico and USA; three teams from the Caribbean; two clubs each from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Panama; and one representative each from Canada, Belize, and Nicaragua. The qualification process will be completed by mid-July in preparation for the start of the Preliminary Round in August. The Preliminary Stage winners will join the eight seeded teams in the Group Stage that consists of four groups of four teams each. The teams in each group will play each other in a round-robin system during six match dates (three home games, three away games) from Sept. 16 through Oct. 30. The top two clubs from each of the four groups will advance to the Quarterfinals. These eight teams will be drawn into four Quarterfinal pairings to play home-and-away match-ups in February of '09. The four Quarterfinal winners will then play in two Semifinal home-and-away match-ups in March and April of '09 with the two Semifinal winners squaring-off in the home-and-away Final in late April of '09. The following is the qualification process for the inaugural tourney which replaces the CONCACAF Champions' Cup: NORTH ZONE: CANADA: Impact de Montreal, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC will play a home-and-away round-robin tournament from May 27 to July 22, with the winner advancing as the Canadian representative. MEXICO: The tournament champions and runner-ups of the '07 Apertura and '08 Clausura seasons progress to the CONCACAF Champions League. If a team occupies more than one of the Mexican slots, then the next highest club in the respective regular season's overall standings will take the lower seeded spot into the tournament. Atlante FC and Pumas UNAM have already qualified to the '08-'09 CONCACAF Champions League as the winner and runner-up, respectively, of the '07 Torneo Apertura. USA: The United States representatives will be the Major League Soccer Cup Champions; the MLS Regular Season Winner; the MLS Cup Runner-up; and the US Open Cup Champion. Results from the '07 MLS season will be used to qualify teams for the '08-'09 CONCACAF Champions League. The Houston Dynamo, D.C. United and the New England Revolution have qualified in the first three slots. Since New England was also the US Open Cup Champion, Chivas USA move up to the fourth spot, as the team with the next highest point total from the '07 MLS regular season standings. CENTRAL AMERICAN ZONE: BELIZE: The recently crowned '07-'08 RFG Insurance League Champion, Hankook Verdes advance from Belize to this year's CONCACAF Champions League. COSTA RICA: The champions of the Torneos Invierno and Verano qualify to the Champions League. If a team wins both tournaments they automatically take the spot, while the next place goes to the team with the next best overall record in the regular season standings from the Torneo Verano.

Deportivo Saprissa has secured a spot in the tourney after winning the '07 Torneo de Invierno. EL SALVADOR: The champions of the Liga Mayor Torneos Apertura and Clausura qualify to the tournament. If a team wins both tournaments they automatically take the top spot, while the next place goes to the team with the next best overall record in the regular season standings from the Torneo Clausura.

GUATEMALA: The champions of the Torneos Apertura and Clausura qualify to the Champions League.
