With the conclusion of the African Cup of Nations today, I must say I can't remember enjoying a continental cup more than I did this one.

Was just wondering what everyone else thought about the continetal cups.

Unfortunately, we don't get to see all those cups here in the USA...

Well, you can see the Gold Cup and the European Championships in the US. And probably the Copa America.

That's as much as anyone else in the world gets to see.

For the most part, the Euro 2004 was only on PPV. Not much of an option. Then again, neither the Gold Cup nor Copa America was available in English.

I went with the Gold Cup since I went to the final last year. Can't do that with the others.

The Gold Cup would be a lot better with some adjustments. First hold it every four years, ditch the irregular schedule its on now. Second rotate the host nations. I realize theres probably only 3 nations capable of hosting so rotate the host country between the US, Canada and Mexico. Personally I'd like to see guest nations completely done away with, but if we must have it, limit it to one. As of now the tournament is pretty much a joke, but theres no reason it can't be improved. Current favorite is the Euros.

Well, I was responding to the sentiment of the post above, which was that because the poster was in the US, he had less access to these tournaments than people in other countries. That's not really the case from what I see. You could conceivably see 3 of those in the US. That's about as good as it gets anywhere. All Euro 2004 matches were shown in bars where I was. Not the best, but PPV certainly counts. And the language of the Gold Cup and Copa America is irrelevant. They were on.

I don't understand the hang up some people here have on English commentary. The announcers aren't saying anything you need to hear. It's like not watching a Swedish porno because you don't speak Swedish.

I'm just saying I can't make a "fair" judgement when not being able to see the other competitions.. That's all..
