    Mexico need to play in the biggest stadiums. They will fill out a NFL stadium, so there is no use putting them up in the Home Depot Center and miss out on $20 million.

    I think I remember seeing that last week. Not really "new" information.

    Ah ok, I hadn't come across it yet and wasn't sure if it was recently added or not.

    They've had that for a bit. We're still just at the wait and see with CONCACAF.

    Your news is out of date. They decided the dates will be announced after the 2013 Confederation's Cup. They're planning to consult Madame Merta of Palm Springs Psychics to determine who will win the Gold Cup to determine who to send to the Confederations Cup.

    Source? Not to sound doubtful, but just to make sure that we don't get Duane'd* again.



    * Duane'd [adjective]. Led to believe in the certainty of something, only to later learn that it was grossly incorrect. See: CSA Confirmation, 4th spot for CONCACAF.

    SBI kind of sucks, though I'm glad for its existence.

    Creditor's initial post had Nicaragua in instead of Cuba. Doesn't he know the Caribbean gets 4 spots, CA 5, and NA 3.

    Some soccer site, the head writer has no idea how his own continental championship works.

    I was about to say (in re: your post in another thread). If Cuba were kicked out, then Antigua and Barbuda (the 5th-best team from the Caribbean Cup, on goals scored) would be the next team in.

    Has anyone been to the Gold Cup website yet? There's a video previewing the venues and it shows the games that will be played there, even though the "draw" hasn't happened.

    I'm pretty sure that the video's correct - Diez of Honduras seems to be backing it up.

    You know there is no draw.
    Only spectacles.


    a
    Mexico, Cuba, El Salvador, Costa Rica

    b
    Honduras, Guatemala, Jamaica, Grenada

    c
    USA, Panama, Guadeloupe, Canada


    Swerve!



    groups are already posted in the video on the webpage.

    Yep, got mine from the video, though I suppose the video could be wrong, but I doubt it.

    Group A:
    Mexico
    Costa Rica
    El Salvador
    Cuba

    Group B:
    Honduras
    Jamaica
    Guatemala
    Grenada

    Group C:
    United States
    Panama
    Canada
    Guadeloupe

    Group A by far the toughest, with Costa Rica as the #2 and El Salvador as the #3. That's half the Hex in one group. And as a result, if El Salvador lose twice (as is certainly possible), then the other two groups could produce 4 QF teams, and are wide open.

    Predictions:
    A: Mexico, Costa Rica
    B: Honduras, Jamaica
    C: United States, Panama
    3rds: Guadeloupe, Grenada (going longshots here). I think El Salvador is the next best team, but will lose twice in group and not make it.

    ...but the video does not give any indication of who will play who in the quarterfinals and beyond. I guess we'll have to wait for the wrap-up article later today.

    LOL, Now they rearranged the qfs

    June 18 - NJ
    A2 vs B2
    A1 vs B3 or C3

    June 19 - DC
    B1 vs C2
    C1 vs A3 or B3


    instead of originally
    A1 vs B2
    B1 vs A3/C3

    and

    A2 vs C2
    C1 vs A3/B3


    Practically ensuring the money makers can't meet before they want them to.

    Kind of what I expected. I knew either Guatemala or El Salvador would be in Group B and they chose Guatemala.

    I had these bozos figured out pretty well, and they throw in that little swerve.

    It is what it is, and he was the only site even reporting about the Gold Cup draw.

    Really? No shame? That was my first thought.

    For one part I am glad Canada didn't get to lead a group, not deserved. But this??? really?!?!? All they had to do was place Guadeloupe and Grenada along with USA and CAN to call it the "we could not come up with anything easier" group.

    (when I say knew I really mean believed)
    I knew CRC was gong to end up with MEX (see my post) as I knew Honduras would be in Group B. But I thought they would have the decency to throw at least Jamaica or El Salvador at the US. And the kicker, they gave them Canada instead.

    All in all great, I rather beat CRC, SLV, JAM and HON to face whoever comes out from the cakewalk side, and have no one saying we had an easy group.

    Shame on you CONCACAF
