I think he's also eyeing Ronaldo's record and wouldn't mind beating that. To further piss off his fans on social media of course, not for any actually sporting reason! gigi riva and PegCityCam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking at Pot 1 will likely be Argentina, Brazil, USA, Mexico. If they do not allow us to get drawn in to a group with a Concacaf team. Then do the math.. would be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 For Copa America if we had to do it by host cities for both USA and Canada then I would go 7 host cities: USA gets 4 cities, Canada gets 3 cities The following cities - New York/New Jersey (MetLife Stadium) - Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium) - Houston (NRG Stadium) - Miami (Hard Rock Stadium) - Toronto (BMO Field) - Vancouver (BC Place) - Edmonton (Commonwealth Stadium) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if Edmonton would switch. I dont think they get any games with a turf stadium. No way top Conambol teams agree to playing there.

Or the CSA could go hard bargain and walk away with nothing when the USSF calls their bluff and they remember we aren’t needed for them to host. I’d like more games too but since I was expecting this to be exclusively in the states, I won’t be upset if we get a set of group phase matches.

Vasi Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) We have one decent football stadium(size and grass field.). That stadium is BMO. Its fucking pathetic. COPA is not going to play in 15 to 20k or plastic stadiums. The fact that we are in talks of getting any games 1.5 years from now is a miracle. Grass conversion is stupid expensive and complicated. These are not CONCACAF minnows coming to play. These are world class teams or teams that have stars on them. If we had actually football stadiums id be pissed but we got one. Im just happy that I might be able to take my kids to a game against goot competition. Edited December 22, 2022 by Vasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take it to the bank they'll be there playing to packed stadiums in the US. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
