Why in the world, of all the confederations outside of Oceania, is our championship such a joke? I mean shouldn't we really restructure the entire group and try to include more teams from OUR region and forgo the guest appearances made by other confedereation's countries?
It just sickens the imagination that because, typically, the US and Mexico are the ones fighting out for the regional crown they are exempt from qualifying and then are drawn into ridiculously one-sided groups that guarantee they won't meet until after the group stages...the entire thing lacks drama...
Of course I could be bitching in vain, and perhaps the other teams in the region outside of Honduras and Costa Rica need to be able to pose a credible threat to either the US or Mexico..but still...
