Talk:Los Angeles Soccer History

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] YEAR BY YEAR RECORDS

Either the creator of this article has taken an invitational friendly competition and mistakenly believed it to be the World club championship or this article has been vandalised. The Los Angeles representative side is listed as having participated in a world club cup and indeed as having won it in 1955. I can assure all readers that no team from outside of Europe and South America ever participated in any form of FIFA sanctioned world club cup prior to 2000 and that to date no American team has ever been world champions. The world club champions started in the early 1960s as an unofficial two legged tie between the European and South American champions before it became the Toyota cup and was switched to single match in Tokyo, usually played in December each year. It was not declared official until 2000 when teams from the other regions were invited. I have edited the article to correct this, and errors relating to Los Angeles' participation in the regional championship.

Since correcting the page with factual statistics taken from the Soccer statistical archive {RSSSF} someone reverted the page back to the fiction that was present previously. I will fix the text again with proper references but it will take a while. In the meantime, please trust me that this is not vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.22.20 (talk) 20:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
