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.
the graph on here still isn't accurate nor is it understandable. —Preceding

I don't know that much about LA soccer, but I'm pretty sure the Wolves, Aztecs, Skyhawks, and Galaxy are not the same team, yet this seems to be what this page is implying. Can anyone clarify? -- TorriTorri( talk/ contribs) 21:34, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
I have fixed the worst of the article. The LA Galaxy and the LA Azetcs now have separate tables. The page is still in pretty bad shape, though, and the information has not been updated since 2007. Barryjjoyce ( talk) 16:05, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Given that the content that this page has been recently moved to the page Soccer in Los Angeles, I think the issue of the title is worth discussing here. If the page Soccer in Los Angeles included significant modern and amateur history of the sport, with citations, I would be on board with the move. However, since the other article was primarily the exact same content and made little mention of the game outside of its professional teams, there really is no reason to use Soccer in Los Angeles. Plus the current title ( History of professional soccer in Los Angeles) is more consistent with the naming convention of articles seen at Category:History of soccer in the United States, and History of soccer in Los Angeles would be the preferable move.

I move to give a more inclusive view of soccer in Los Angeles, given that the topic is broad, and without being subjective, it is clear that there is much more soccer activity in the Los Angeles region beyond the current professional MLS franchises. And in terms of history, there were, for instance, a number of important missing clubs when mentioning the area's history, including the LA Kickers, Orange County Soccer Club, Maccabi Los Angeles and more. I've added sources mentioning historic clubs, thus satisfying the requests to add more and varied sources. Further, nowadays there is much, much prose on the amateur game found in numerous sources, evidently more than ever before. Take for an example the work that TheCup.US does, them and others.
