Talk:2009 North American SuperLiga

And Canada?
Who gets in from Canada?
 * No one. I have another question though: When will it start? UmutK (talk) 05:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Canadian MLS teams, if they qualify through MLS. MLS has one Canadian team, in Toronto, and a second, in Vancouver, to be added to the league in 2011. Nateji77 (talk) 05:14, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this isn't like the CONCACAF Champions League where it is U.S. Soccer that sends a slate of teams to the competition. This tournament is run by Soccer United Marketing, and is a Major League Soccer-Primera División de México competition, so MLS can send one of its Canadian teams if it so chooses.  --   Grant  .

Time Zone Selection
I find it curious that the times listed for the games are all done from the EDT- I bring this up because of the Eight clubs in the competition Six are from the CDT. 12 Matches are being played in the group stage and half of them (Six) are in the CDT while only four in the EDT and the remaining two are being played out west in the PDT. It seems to me that most people who might be interested in this competition live or follow clubs from the CDT. Morry32 (talk) 17:39, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I personally think that using a standard time zone is appropriate. It seems also that, where events occur in different time zones, the customary time zone used in the region should be appropriate. Since all of the games occur in the United States, it would seem natural to use what the United States uses as its customary time zone when displaying events. I think, though only through experience, that where events are spread throughout the US, the common time zone to use is the Eastern. Thus, I think it should stay the way it is.

What do you guys think of the t ie-breaking procedure?
Last year, Guadalajara was in a situation where, if they lost by 8 or more goals, they would have gone to the semifinals. Instead, they lost by only 2, and got eliminated. Isn't that ridiculous? These tie-breaking rules are retarded. What do you guys think?

It's indeed a little funny but i believe it was because it would have given another team a better gal differential which i do think is a fair meter of who should go through Dylant2011 (talk) 22:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Chivas USA vs UANL, Pulido goal Alans or Armandos?
The ESPN source (http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/match?id=270353&league=CONCACAF.SUPERLIGA&cc=3888) has the UANL goal marked for Alan while the superliga article (http://web.superliga2009.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090621&content_id=5442374&vkey=news_superliga&fext=.jsp) quotes the goal as being Armandos. This would give Armando 3 goals (as of the group stage) and the top scorer: "The visitors went ahead in the 11th minute thanks to an Armando Pulido bicycle kick that will surely make the highlight reels."

 * Yeah I was about to bring up this issue. Most sources I've looked at, including match reports and TV news segments, the goal is credited to Alan.  But then I did some more research and most news articles credit it to Armando.  So I watched the MLS replays of the goal, but that didn't help since the announcers just said Pulido and there were no names on the backs of the jerseys.  So then I watched replays on YouTube and the announcer clearly said Armando.  Confused I was, so I continued to search.  I looked at Armando's goals against Fire and the guy looked to be the same Pulido.  So the question we should answer is: which sources are more reliable: the match reports, the news articles or the videos? Personally, I think we should leave it as Alan until the competition resumes.  Hopefully by then, the confusion will be resolved.  MxcnKing926 (talk) 02:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It is Armando Pulido who scored the first goal. If you look at the jersey number in the Chivas game it is 18, the same as Armando Pulido who scored 2 against the Fire.  They also changed it on the ESPN article to Armando and not Alan.  I'm going to go ahead and change it on the article since this is pretty definitively Armando who scored all 3 goals (They also have 3 goals on the stat sheet article on the superliga sight: http://web.superliga2009.com/stats/) and it's been awhile since this debacle started.Sloclops (talk) 16:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
