    As usual, another good article by Jamie Trecker at FoxSoccer.com about why the US should play in Copa America next summer in addition to the Gold Cup. According to Trecker and USSF President Sunil Gulati it is a distinct possibility that this could happen. If so, major props to USSF. The USMNT needs to be in Copa America.

    Nice article, never been a fan of Trecker. He always seems to point out the negitive and never the positive about the MLS.

    Re: RE: USMNT to Copa America (possibly)

    Emmm I don't see your point. Every Confederation has a tournment to decide a champion. CONCACAF is naturally no diffrent. Yes, the competition is weak but that is only because the confederation is weak. I don't see how the creation of the tournment is "stupid".

    That said I'm glad were in Copa America, which has been confirmed by USSoccer. My guess is we'll take a u23, B, or C squad to the Gold Cup and take our best side to Venezula. Can't imagine that you'd play one team in two tournments in one summer.

    The Gold Cup is still important because the USMNT will be competing with CONCACAF teams to qualify for the World Cup. Just because they are the top team in the region is no guarantee on getting in the tourney. I imagine the Gold Cup will be a B+ squad at best, though; the USMNT should focus on the Copa America as well. But first, they need a head coach...
