2017 Gold Cup

Recommended Posts

So Honduras won the Copa Centroamericana with Panama as runner-up and El Salvador and Costa Rica finishing 3rd and 4th respectively. Nicaragua are in the CAFU-CFU playoff against Haiti. Armando Cooper scored the goal that caused Costa Rica to finish 4th.

So currently it's Canada, US, Mexico, Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Curacao, Martinique, French Guiana and Jamaica in the Gold Cup.

And the final team will be either Nicaragua or Haiti, to be decided by the CFU-UNCAF playoff which is probably going to be played in March.

According to Wikipedia, Honduras, USA and Mexico will each have their own group. 

 

You gotta figure with trinidad and Guatemala both being left off you gotta think we need to be in the quarters at least. Then again we need to score first.

The draw for the Gold Cup 2017 (HA! -who are we kidding ;) - this is CONCACAF - rather, we shall call it the assigning of teams to groups for maximum profit), will take place on Tuesday March 7th. This is just before the March 9th FIFA rankings, so the current ones should apply.

http://tiempo.hn/grupos-calendario-la-copa-oro-2017-seran-nunciados-7-marzo/

They are:

Mexico       1016 Seeded already Group C
Costa Rica   948
(likely to be seeded in group A - but who knows it's CONCACAF)
USA             818 Seeded already Group B
Panama       624
Honduras     547

Haiti             518
Curaçao      467
Jamaica       443
El Salvador 302

Nicaragua   292
Canada      292
Martinique      
non-FIFA
Guyane française non-FIFA

In the end I'm not sure they matter too much but there shouldn't be more than 2 central american or caribbean teams per group.

Would the V's organize something to Cleveland for that July 15 date if Canada is playing in that group?

They did back in 2011 for this game (in Detroit): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_CONCACAF_Gold_Cup_Group_C

The distance is similar from Toronto but you can't do a bus pickups in London/Windsor for Cleveland. There could be a bus from Toronto with a pickup in Hamilton though. But we are getting WAY ahead of ourselves.

Hey with that attitude we'll never win World Cup 2022.

Pot 1                          Pot 2                               Pot3

Costa Rica               Curaçao                            Canada 

Panama                    Jamaica                           Martinique 

 Haiti*                        El Salvador                      French Guiana
