It's sad to see Mexico win this tbh

Some of their fans behaved like idiots, like when they threw shit at the Trinidad player when he was taking a corner
They've played like shit throughout the whole tournament, and only made it there due to ridiculous ref mistakes
They delayed the final half an hour to their convenience so that the mexican fans drinking around the stadium could buy 2nd hand tickets

It's a sad way to win... and CONCACAF shouldn't let these things happen, it just seems like not even they care too much about this tournament. They should just stop drop them and negotiate with CONMEBOL having panamerican Copa Américas like the one we will have next year.


What's an even bigger joke is the fact that it is played in the United States every time just to give USMNT the advantage over everyone else and they still cant take advantage of this. They don't give teams like Costa Rica, Honduras, T & T, Jamaica, Guatemala, ect. ect. a chance to host it, increase their tourism, put them on the spotlight, give them a better chance at winning the cup because they want the USMNT to catch up to Mexico.

Its sad really and thats why we don't take this competition that serious. I would rather win the Copa America 10/10 than this boring (G)Old Cup.

Yeah, it's indeed a joke that they don't rotate the host nation... but do the other countries in the CONCACAF (aside from Mexico and Canada) have the proper stadia to host an event with 12 teams?

They should at least rotate between US, Mexico and Canada though

I like this plan, but no the other countries don't have the facilities or infrastructure to host the event

Not much difference from Belgium/Netherlands 2000, Austria/Switz 08, and Poland Ukraine 12. Actually might even be closer.

But doesn't CONCACAF give money to help with the rebuilding of the infrastructures? Surly this will be a big benefit to those countries and will help with their economy as well. I don't see how this is impossible really.

hold up, I never mentioned US/Can/Mex. I was mentioning Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, T & T, Panama. All which are closer to each other than the European countries I mentioned.
