All times are Atlantic Standard Time Zone (UTC-4)

hey Galo what about times of the game?in US times

there will be a match thread and i will put your time zone for the match

and can you give me more mod options in here because i can only close this thread and i want to pin it.

what dose it mean 2nd place wild card

thats wrong, its the second best 3rd team.

sure pal consider it done

Can't wait for this to start up

me too

Big thing I'm wondering is who we send.

our team looks more and more like a B- team

Ours probably will too. Can't imagine too many Euro-based players getting called in.

US should take full advantage of this,can't get better for them then this,closes thing to a World cup

How many of us felt as well, gues the USSF didn't share our sentiments.

I know,this is how it is I guess,it would have been better than playing china or panama

Brasilian team all the way

I think the US will be sending a bunch of our younger players into this. For example, I think we'll be seeing players like Michael Parkhurst and Bobby Boswell as center backs instead of Bocanegra or Gooch.

well US get a first invite in many years and blowing it like this,Mexico will does not play around when when it comes to Copa Am

either way they will be out quick

The thing is our regional championship ends two days before Copa America starts. And since it is not our regional tournament we cannot force our players' clubs to release their players. Its complicated, yes, and unfortunate, but it is what it is. I'd take Copa America more seriously, but with the squad we will send it's hard to.

The US is going to be using the youth again for this, hopefully we'll do well.
