why should the winner of the gold cup

[T.K.]

so why is it not at a neutral venue?

Because it was assumed that there would be a Mexico-USA play in game and you could take it to the Rose Bowl and make mucho bucks. At that point it would be as neutral as you could get outside of playing in Switzerland. Now if Jamaica mash up dat dolly house come sunday.....

Fergie mussi have looooong arms,and is clearly quite fond of the US as he was of Liverpool that year the CL rule was changed..(Pool fans-bite unnuh lip!).
Third degree mason!

That is called "FORWARD THINKING". ...cover for a a particular contingency=this present US getting bumped from 2015 Gold Cup winner's circle.

[Gamma]

Chances are....what do you think

[Jangle]

All we do is buss dem ass again after we win the Gold Cup. Hopefully Oct 9 is a designated FIFA date.

Alexi Lalas made a comment about why the loss was so hot (not verbatim, paraphrasing) is, the US did not want to have a play-off to get to the Confederation Cup. I jumped to the assumption that the Gold Cup winner was shoo-in????

Thanks for the heads up.

Love the joke

[Time]

So the earlier question: what if the US had won the Gold Cup!!?? ~~SIGH~~






what the hell iz wrong wid you HL!! Since when you a cut gence yuh US team? Straighten up an fly right boy!!

The winner of the 2013 Gold cup is required to play the winner of the 2015 Gold Cup for the place in the Confederations Cup. The US won the 2013 Gold Cup, if the US had won the 2015 cup then either there is no play off match and the US goes to the Confederation Cup or US Red plays USA Blue in Penn Relays style and the US goes to the Confederation Cup ----- This is a joke ok?

there are a lot of questions ...

why the US?

[Bricktop]

so why is it not at a neutral venue?

[Za]

have to play the USA in order to determine who represents CONCACAF in the confed cup?!!

what if the US had won?

does the copa winner have to do the same thing?

No, the copa winner doesn't. Concacaf announced this change 2 years ago,
the US will play the winner of this year Gold Cup on Octobeer 9th

CONCACAF announced late on Wednesday the Americans would meet the winner of Sunday's final between Jamaica and Mexico on Oct. 9 for a place in the World Cup dress rehearsal in Russia in 2017.

The one-off match, which the Americans qualified for by winning the 2013 Gold Cup, will be played in the United States, multiple sources told ESPN.

The venue has yet to be announced, but you can be sure that if El Tri prevails, the contest will be staged wherever CONCACAF can sell the most tickets, guaranteeing a home game in name only for the Yanks.

[HL]

What/where is your source for this?

I thought that the winner of the Gold Cup would automatically qualify for the confed cup:

If the US won, they would play themselves.
