    2007 Gold Cup To Be CONCACAF-Only Event

    You know if we had qualified for the Gold Cup I would have said that this might be a really good chance to win this thing with the US' and Mexico's attention focused on Copa America but alas.....

    In either case I agree with this move. - T.K.

    NEW YORK (October 31, 2006) - CONCACAF announced that no guest teams will The 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the tournament will consist of twelve teams from the region.

    "This is of course excellent news for the two more members of CONCACAF who will now be playing in next year's Gold Cup and showing how their game has progressed; as did Panama, for example, in reaching the 2005 Gold Cup final, CONCACAF President Jack Warner said.

    In the past, teams such as Brazil, South Africa, South Korea and Colombia have been invited to participate. In 2007, one additional team from the Carribean and Central American regions, respectively, will qualify for the tournament.

      Mi not rubbing anything in. I am actually happy we did not qualify. It will save us all the trouble of getting upset when they would have inevitably crashed out of the Gold Cup to a team not named Guatemala. Mi caan tek no more international off-field embarrasment. Can you imagine what nonsensical situation Boxfoot would have gotten us into if we had to go to the United States? - T.K.

          Oh well, I was hoping we would get invited after declaring that we are a separate confederation. maybe the invite will still come.

            Let's hope that UEFA finally recognise the CONCACAF Gold Cup as a legitimate major FIFA tournament.

            With this move should the GOLD CUP now expand the teams to 16?
