Dolfan in NYC Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The biggest tournament in the Americas is coming to the USA next year. CONCACAF has just announced the 10 host cities: New York (Metlife) Boston (Gillette) Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial) Orlando (Citrus) Chicago (Soldier) Houston (NRG) Phoenix (U of Phoenix) Southern Cal (Rose) Northern Cal (Levi's) Seattle (CenturyLink) Finals are supposed to be at Metlife. The field - USA Mexico Jamaica Costa Rica Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Paraguay Peru Uruguay Venezuela Final two spots will be determined by a playoff game on 1/8/16: Trinidad & Tobago vs Haiti Panama vs Cuba Everyone is supposed to be sending their A team, so this should be a LOT of fun. Tournament will run from 6/3 - 6/26. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I assume it being in the USA virtually guarantees it actually ends up on a somewhat normal TV channel for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Using the Gold Cup as a way to determine the playoff game qualifiers is whack. Cuba? For real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 What else are they going to use, FIFA rankings? That'd put Antigua and Barbuda in Cuba's place. At least with Cuba we have the chance of seeing how much of the team defects by the end of the tournament if they advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 FIFA rankings are horseshit too. They could have run an actual qualifying tournament for the two spots. We all know how CONCACAF loves holding overly convoluted qualifying tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 They do that to get US and Mexico games in as many Caribbean venues as possible. A tournament without those teams in it wouldn't make a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 No matter how much these games will most likely suck, I'm going to go to pretty much all of them at the Citrus Bowl. Any combination of Brazil, Colombia, USA would easily sellout within minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 And Panama destroyed Cuba 4-0, which sucks because now we won't hear about half the team trying to defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Fox got the US rights. Final will be on network TV, qualifying rounds will be on Fox, FS1 & FS2. All games are on their app. http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/story/fox-sports-to-air-copa-america-centenario-012716 Guess I need to find those channels. (Or just turn to Univision and watch it with people who are actually happy about doing a soccer broadcast.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The draw is on Sunday, 2/21 at 7:30 pm Eastern. The US first round matches will be in:June 3 (Friday) - Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA June 7 (Tuesday) - Soldier Field, Chicago, IL June 11 (Saturday) - Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA Willing to bet that the four seeds will be USA/Mexico/Brazil/Argentina, with hopes that those end us as the final four. And if they are....take my money, just take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well, USA has themselves *quite* the group. 3-0 is possible, so is 0-3.

Guest Edwin Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 So I get to see Costa Rica/Paraguay, Brazil/Haiti and Panama/Bolivia which means I'll go see the Brazil B team drop 12 goals on Haiti and Costa Rica vs. Paraguay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The combination of suddenly hearing all my commercials in spanish and seeing the hopeful doomed faces of Mexican futbol fans really makes today feel like the first true day of Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 So it's just about 9:45 EST on the first night of the tournament and so far the USA is still in thSHIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
