SuperLiga 2008, was the second edition of the SuperLiga competition. The top four Major League Soccer teams by point totals at the end of the 2007 season earn qualification.[1] All games of the tournament were broadcast live on Fox Sports World in Canada (English), Telefutura in the United States (Spanish) and Televisa and TV Azteca in Mexico (both Spanish).

Contents

[edit] Qualification

The eight teams in the 2008 edition were selected based on qualification rules set by their respective leagues. The SuperLiga 2008 contestants were:[2]

From United States Major League Soccer[3]

From Mexico La Primera División

[edit] Group stage

The competition consisted of an initial group stage with the top two teams from each groups advancing to the semifinals.

[edit] Tie-breaking criteria

If two teams are equal on points, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:[4]

  1. Head-to-Head Results (points only)
  2. Goal Differential
  3. Goals Scored
  4. Coin Toss

In the event that three or more teams are equal on points and no one team has defeated the other two (Head-to-Head Results), then the remaining tiebreakers are employed to advance a single team. The tiebreakers are applied again between the teams that failed to advance if it is necessary to determine a second-place team.

If the tiebreakers fail to advance a single team, the tiebreakers are then used to eliminate one of the three teams.
