DE LA RED DEPORTIVA

Selección/ Guatemala podría jugar la Copa América.
3/5/2005 Gracias a los buenos juegos de fogueo que la Selección Nacional a realizado contra rivales del sur de América, la Federación Sudamericana de fútbol analiza la posibilidad de invitar a Guatemala para que dispute la Copa América del próximo año.

Los chapines que han realizado varios fogueos ante rivales sudamericanos, son la primer opción de invitación para la CONMEBOL.

Dicha posibilidad fue confirmada por el Licenciado Rafael Salguero, quien fue entrevistado por la Red Deportiva:

¿Guatemala puede jugar la Copa América?
“Si. La posibilidad es muy grande. Estuvimos platicando con varios directivos, los cuales están de acuerdo que Guatemala sea uno de los invitados de CONCACAF”. Concluyó.

should be a welcomed changed from seeing Mexico's face every cup, although they probably will be the second team "invited" as well.

I thought Mexico had cemented their place as permanent guests, I don't think they need a formal invitation anymore

[Pibe#10]

exactly, that's why I said "invited."

They invited Colombia....it will be like last time around, where we took people from the teams that played libertadores.

[Flyin Ryan]

They should invite Surinam. :D

I'd like to see Guatemala in the Copa America... they've have improved quite a bit. But if I could have it my way it would only be South American teams.

In any case, i'd would've liked to see Peru play this Gold Cup instead of playing that crap Kirin Cup in Japan. Especially now that the semis and final will be here in New York/new jersey. :(

Yea, but which on is going to bring more money?
that's all our federations care about this days, that's why "MyouEknowXwhoICO" is in Copa America and Libertadores.

As a matter of fact I think Colombia got invited and accepted.

[Pibe#10]

I know, I already said that....at least they'll get some money out of that.....

Thats good stuff. Lets have more teams in The Copa America.. little by little we can start infiltrating S. American football, =)

It can only help both confederations.

2 spots for Conmebol in the Gold Cup and 2 spots for Concacaf in The Copa America.. That would be great..

I guess it benefits us mostly than them..but it could help there weaker squads to participate in the Gold Cup

[socluis90]

so when does this get "officialized"

[Goathemala]

Good chance for Guatemala to face different and better teams,its not oficial yet but I heard CONMEBOL wants to see how well Guatemala does in the hex first amd then decide.

[guategol]

I want Guatemala to go to the Copa America badly too.CONMEBOL invited them because they had good results against south american teams in the past 3-4 months.It is also a good chance for some south american teams to see some of Guatemalas players.

[Popol Vuh]

This is from almost a year ago :D , anywayz I wonder who CONMEBOL is gonna invite?? I heard they also showed interest in Panama, is either gonna be PAN CR or GUATE, unless the US gets invited.
