Copa América: Chile 2015

Los estadios de La Serena y Concepción estarían listos en diciembre de este año.
El estadio de Viña del Mar estaría listo en febrero de 2015.

 

hopefully El Piojo takes the best mexican players to Copa America, he has to do the necessary to take Vela as well.

I would like to see Gio-Vela-Jimenez upfront.

 

Apparently, Jamaica and Mexico are the invited teams for Copa America 2015.

He's smoking too much pot.

Mexico and China are the official invited teams and not anyone else.

 

I wasn't aware of that, but it seems China withdraw in favour of AFC WC qualifiers, so another team might get invited.
According to wikipedia, which isn't the most reliable source, it might be the USA :

I guess we just have to wait and see.

 

Can somebody to awake that stupid of Gulati ?

 

Seems odd to invite another CONCACAF opponent with the Gold Cup going on at the same time.

China fuera, Jamaica bienvenida a Chile

 

It seems that Conmebol authorities are in need of some pot.
Otherwise, I don't understand that invitation, as for sure, they aren't going to bring money with them to the tournament.

 

Their B team to come and freeze their @SS off.

 

In the last Copa America Costa Rica & Mexico were forced by the CONCACAF to bring a U22 team along with some domestic league stars. 2007 Mexico did not have those restrictions and brought a pretty good team.

I wonder if the CONCACAF is going to do the same this time around.

 

The Copa America does end 3 days before the Gold Cup, I wonder if the 2 CONCACAF teams would try to send players to both?

 

Interesting.

In years past the Copa Oro was before the Copa America.

 

Hmm.

If there are no age restrictions Mexico can still bring a strong domestic based squad to the Copa.

Jamaica would probably have to bring a horrible domestic squad unless they fail to make it to the Gold Cup.

In that case they could probably be allowed to bring many of their Euro based players and MLS players.

So it could be better for the Copa America if Jamaica fails in the Caribbean tournament.

 

True. And it will supposedly be held during FIFA days so they SHOULD bring their best & win at home. Or at worst be favored in the UNCAF playoff.

But you never know. They can still fail.

 

The sooner CONCACAF and CONMEBOL merge, the better. (Hopefully Copa America Centenario is a step in that direction.

 

Would CONMEBOL want this?

 

Well, they may be tempted by the money.

But when it comes to tradition and other issues...
... heck no.

 

I don't think so, but it sure would be a correct step to do so, although lots of ammendments should be placed in the administrative body of such a merged Confederation, in order to balance the regional powers within it (it doesn't seems logical to have so many small FA's, specially from the caribean, to control the destiny of the bigger and more traditional FA's).
