    JFF should contact Copa America Now

    The USA Soccer Federation is mulling an offer to play in next year's Copa America which is set to be held in Venezuela. The USA has refrain from accepting these invitations in recent years because the Copa America usually occurs while MLS is still in progress. But now added to that are two other reasons:

    1) Politics - Hugo Chavez does not like all Americans, and many Americans do not like Chavez.

    2) Fatigue - The players will be tired coming off their Gold Cup matches.

    While the CONCACAF Golf Cup matches will run from June 6th through June 24th, the Copa America games will begin two days later, on June 26th, and finish on July 15th. As they have done over the last 10 years or so, I expect the USA to decline the offer to participate.

    This is where Mr Boxhill & Co. could regain some mileage if they were to contact the organizers of the Copa America and allign the ReggaeBoyz as the replacement for the USA.

    Oh, btw congrats to CB and the Boyz for the win over Canada. This win can be used as an ace card in saying that ''look we really can play, losing to StVG was an anomaly.''

    What do we really have to lose by participating in the Copa America!! I think we have more to gain than to lose. This could suffice as our practice field in place of the Gold Cup which we rediculously missed out on.

    It is a good idea Farmah, but here is the show stopper. Do you realize that the CONCACAF ranking has the following teams listed before us:

    USA, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, T&T, Guatemala and Cuba? Do you not think it would be easier for them to grab two teams from that list of teams which are supposed to be better than us if you go by FIFA ranking?

      Yet good managers would prepare a case and present it to the Copa America boys!

      Go for it JFF! Go for it immediately!

      FORWARD!!!!

          You are so right Tilla but a little marketing, selling and pawning may possible do the trick. Afterall, the ReggaeBoyz can probably pull a bigger crowd thanmost of the teams in CONCACAF (Mexico &Costa Rica aside).

          It is a lot of work to pull this off burt if the Boxhill admin can do this then it will lend a little credibility to their woeful resume.

            Cool Sah. Now if only the JFF will jump at it, they could possible make something out of nothing.

              There is nothing to lose...and, maybe...maybe...everything to gain!
