[edit] Title: 2007 CONCACAF Champions' Cup?

For consistency with other competitions, e.g. 2006 FIFA World Cup, shouldn't we rename all these articles? Regardless, we at least need redirs.

  • I agree. Especially since it is commonly refered to as the "2007 CONCACAF Champions' Cup" in news articles and on CONCACAF's official Website. --Cougs2000 16:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Also I'm terrible at Wp referencing so if someone wants to fix the CONCACAF link or better yet, teach me to do so, that would be marvelous. Thanks, PhilipR 02:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I created the redirects for "2007 CONCACAF Champion's Cup" and its various forms with apostrophes. Johnn 7 14:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brackets and Boxes

We've had people add boxes and brackets for the quarterfinal rounds. There was some reverting going on as well. I restored both formats. I think both serve useful purposes for the time being. Eventually we may want to go to the format Jyardley has done with past years, but for now we can leave both in place until we have some sort of agreement. Any other thoughts? Johnn 7 23:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Can we do away with the redundancies and just use the brackets yet? The boxes are not efficient or attractive, and it's really overkill to have both right now. I'm going to take out the boxes in a few days unless somebody gives me a reason not to.Jyardley 21:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I would say that's fine as long as the bracket is not redrawn later in the competition (is it); however, I prefer the boxes as they are more analogous to the other football/soccer pages on Wikipedia. However, the semifinals section should be moved below the quarterfinals - I know I should be able to do this myself, but I'm not sure how. (KLB)

I'm pretty sure the bracket is set as is, judging from this bracket page: CONCACAF bracket; I'm not trying to rain on your style, and I know people use it for the Champions' League matches. But the World Cup pages use the bracket format, and I think this bracket is pretty effective for two-legged series. Jyardley 04:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I also prefer the boxes, but agree that we should only have one or the other. Jyardley has done a nice job with the brackets both here and in the articles on past tournaments. I'll delete the boxes today and let the article return to a more normal look. Johnn 7 20:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tiebreaker?

Does anyone know what the "tiebreaker" is if teams' aggregate goal scores are tied after the two matches? If so, I think it should be listed. --Cougs2000 16:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Away goals following extra time. BobbyAFC 15:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

The CONCACAF Champion's Cup 2007 Regulations make no mention of away goals. If the aggregate is tied after 180 minutes, they go to two full 15 minute periods and then penalty kicks. No away goal rule. Johnn 7 22:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I was surprised to see that Pachuca and Houston played extra time in the semifinals, since they finished tied on aggregate and Houston held the away-goal edge. How common is this these days? That doesn't seem to be the way the various European competitions work. Is it worth mentioning in the article? Rkstafford 15:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attendance from spanish web sites

  • if anyone can read Spanish, please find attendance figures for the games hosted by spanish speaking clubs and reference the web pages as with the Guatemala game 69.119.239.138 01:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

I'm curious what people think of the addition of photos to the page. I really like it. It gives the page a very serious look. However, maybe just one or two photos is necessary since numerous photos don't add to the encyclopedic value. I prefer the Waibel picture because it captures the passion of the event, but I also like the Santana picture as it captures the international nature of the tournament. Or should we keep all three?
