Ameritoon Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Some weird ass joint Concacaf and Comnebol 2016 Copa América is going to be held in the US. Is this official now? Think it will be great because the Gold Cup is shit, it's too bad we didn't put a full strength side out last time we were in Copa America. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just seems pointless. It will basically be the Copa America of the previous year but with a handful of central american teams thrown in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The reason the World Cup and Euros hold so much prestige is that they only come round every 4 years. Having what is basically another Copa America a year later cheapens it. Pretty clear that somebody, somewhere is making lots of money out of this idea.

Probably, but isn't that true of every major tournament? This will probably just be a big exhibition without Confederations Cup considerations. I'm still hoping all the teams put out A-squads, would be the biggest tourney on U.S. soil since WC94. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Oh yeah. It's in USA. This is definitely massively profitable. No need to pander to the latin American community with friendlies when you can have them all over for one massive friendly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well besides all that, we've got the best infrastructure and guarantee of security. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
