Hey Alex,
If you still need some help with this, here it goes.
To use a field as a hyperlink, you of course have to have the link text in the field in you database. For it to show up on a page as a hyperlink you need to have two instances of the particular field.
For example:
<a href="<%=(detail.Fields.Item("Liga".Value)%>"><%=(detail.Fields.Item("Liga".Value)%></a>
You almost had it, but you needed the field name twice.
I hope this helps.
