 The 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup is the 13th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup competition and 23rd CONCACAF regional championship overall in CONCACAF's 52 years of existence. The past several tournaments have been held in the United States, because of course. This year, Canada (Toronto, specifically) will host a couple games. Pictured: The USA lifts the gaudy-as-gently caress Gold Cup in 2013 As the 2013 Gold Cup coincided with CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, most countries sent a B or B-minus squad. The USA sent what in hindsight was probably a B-plus squad, and defeated most of their opponents with ease en route to the final in Chicago, in which Dane Brekken Shea scored the lone goal to defeat Panama (remember, this was when Mexico was really down) in perhaps the most boring match I’ve ever witnessed firsthand. This year, however, most are sending their best sides. Teams also can replace up to six of their players between the group stage and the knockout rounds. If the USA does not win this year’s Gold Cup, they will meet the winner in a playoff (maybe later this year? I bet even CONCACAF hasn’t figured that out yet) to determine who plays in the 2017 Confederations Cup. Also — and I just learned this tidbit on Wikipedia — the top four teams excluding those which have qualified before the tournament, namely the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica (winners of the 2014 Copa Centroamericana), and Jamaica (winners of the 2014 Caribbean Cup), will qualify for playoffs which will determine the final two places of the Copa América Centenario, which is supposed to take place next summer. Or maybe not. This year’s competitors (rosters) Group A Haiti Honduras Panama USA Group B Canada Costa Rica El Salvador Jamaica Group C Cuba Guatemala Mexico Trinidad & Tobago Fixtures (I believe FOX Sports has the TV rights to all matches, for those of you in the USA looking to watch)   Yep, there's a third place match now.

Chicharito getting injured against Honduras rules him out. The USMNT have this in the bag.

Hmmm I don't know It seems that these Concacaf teams very recently embarrassed UEFA "powerhouses" Portugal, Italy, and England at the last world cup. Even Mexico beat the Croatians....

Last time I checked Canadian Men's National Team was like a one star team, not even sure if they're in FIFA 15. Fail.

Azerban posted:they aren't, EA can't afford the huge licensing fees I did some research on this subject OP and it seems you are correct. Also, the Canadians Women's National Team will be in FIFA 16, but the men will not be. Ironically the FIFA games are made in Canada... I feel bad for the young men growing up in Canada. They will never get to feel the glory of lifting the cup in FIFA 16 unless they play as a girl.

meat CRime posted:Chicharito getting injured against Honduras rules him out. The USMNT have this in the bag. Oribe Peralta is the more dangerous striker considering Herrera's one dimensional tactics and Mexico's total lack of creativity. I mean the US is still going to win because the FMF are a loose conglomeration of corrupt crooks and nationalistic mouthbreathers, but its not because Chicharito is out.

I was gonna say Hernandez has been so poo poo for the national team that I actually would worry about Peralta more, but you know when Mexico is unceremoniously dumped out of the tournament the excuses will be "Hernandez missed the cup".

It's a weird thing because I think Hernandez is the better player but Mexican press, fans, and the FMF just refuse to accept that he's a more narrow and limited striker than they desperately want to believe. When Mexico loses they are going to say they missed Hernandez but really its because Mexican football as a whole has been regressing for 10 years.

Stoke apparently asked Klinsmann to let Cameron sit this one out.

I'm not sure why they dont just give the trophy to Costa Rica as the clearly superior + cool team eligible for it. Maybe a play-off with Canada for it at a stretch.

It's dumb as hell that this is played every two years. I kinda hate this stupid cup, can't wait until we don't win this once again  Hopefully someone kills Miller and Myrie during the group stage and Chope will be forced to call up Waston and Francis, who should have been there all along. Also in case you didn't know, cool guy Keylor is injured so this guy will be on goal for us. Pitch invaders beware

straight up brolic posted:is wanchope really managing costa rica now? lol He is, and he is not near experienced enough but people have been unfairly making GBS threads on him since he took over because the press made up a story about him loving over Pinto to make the federation not renew his contract. People love Pinto for obvious reasons so they believed that story, ignoring that Pinto is a psycho and has a history of falling out with clubs/federations. His record so far has not been stellar but he got us the central american cup and some good, some mediocre showings on friendlies. His real test is this cup and they will probably sack him if we don't win, specially because his friend Li is in swiss jail now.
