Kevin W. Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Too much integrity and not enough oil money with which to bribe FIFA officials to get the Cup as well.Well Alberta has oil money. Just not worth spending on something for the entire country.That's why I said "not enough."

TBGKon Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Maybe someone can clarify this for me, but why did Brazil compete in the Gold Cup in 1996, 1998, and 2003? Arent they associated with CONMEBOL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arent they associated with CONMEBOL?A lot of times, the league/region holding the tournament will invite other teams from around the world to "spice up" the tournament. For example, the CONMEBOL invited Japan (who was replaced by Costa Rica) and Mexico to their tournament.I'm not a fan of it, but no one ever asked me.

Seadragon76 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Maybe someone can clarify this for me, but why did Brazil compete in the Gold Cup in 1996, 1998, and 2003? Arent they associated with CONMEBOL?With help from Wikipedia...In 1996, Brazil was invited to compete in the Gold Cup. The Brazilians sent their U-23 team and finished runner-up behind Mexico in that edition.The performance was good enough to get another invite in 1998. This time, they brought their 'A' team to the Gold Cup, but only netted a third place finish.Once again, Brazil was invited in 2003 and, like in 1996, they brought their U-23 team and finished runner-up behind Mexico.There hasn't been any special entries to the tourny since the 2005 event when Columbia and South Africa were invited. It's been mostly CONMEBOL members who have been invited, but it hasn't stop CONCACAF from inviting teams from Asia or Africa. On the flip side, the Copa America (CONMEBOL's big event) usually invites teams from other associations and have invited Mexico and Costa Rice from CONCACAF to compete when it begins in two weeks (Costa Rica is replacing Japan, who had issues with their players being allowed to be with the national team from their club teams).

In reality, CONMEBOL is the only confed that I could see inviting other members, given that the tournament calls for 12 teams and there are but 10 CONMEBOL nations.

NEW.ERA Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just a look see, I'm not taking anything away from Mexico and the US. Money and tons of people help but still can't help looking at past Gold Cup results. Must be nice to see your country invest and care so much about Footy, not just Hockey.1991 - USA 0-0 Honduras (US wins 4-3 on PKs)1993 - Mexico 4-0 USA1996 - Mexico 2-0 Brazil (BRZ invite)1998 - Mexico 1-0 USA2000 - Canada 2-0 Colombia (COL invite)2002 - USA 2-0 Costa Rica2003 - Mexico 1-0 Brazi A.E.T2005 - USA 0-0 Panama (US wins 3-1 on PKs)2007 - USA 2-1 Mexico2009 - Mexico 5-0 USASo Mexico and or the USA have been in every Gold Cup final (Since it's been the Gold Cup) except 2000. Something needs to be done, like I brought up or it could have been someone else in the Domestic Thread. Making one big Western Hemisphere championship between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF. This is why I am so much more into the UEFA Championships (The best national tournament in the world) out does the World Cup most of the time.
