They lost 5 players, but I believe is just a strategy so those 5 players can play in the Copa America, which has stronger teams (Brazil, Argentina, Chile...)

The only game that matters in this cup is the final, and everyone expects to be USA vs Mexico at then end; I hope Mexico can Win it this time....

Didn't Mexico win last time?

Yeah but here's the thing... there's a gold cup every 2 years, but only one of them is important; the one after the world cup (this one) because if you win it, it gives you a ticket for the Confederation cup, where all the champions of every zone plays.

2007 gold cup was won by the US and they attended the Confederation cup in 2009, where they eliminated Spain (Europe's Champions) but were defeated in the final by Brazil (south america's champion).

Then we have the other Gold cup, that only gives you a trophy for winning.... that's the case for Mexico's 2009 gold cup. So I rather them win this one and lose the one in 2 years....

Sorry, but this doesn't make any sense to me.

Isn't the Gold Cup the equivalent to Uefa EURO, Copa América, African Cup, AFC Asian Cup and OFC Nations Cup? If so, all Gold Cup titles are of course equivalent important.

The Confederations Cup, on the other hand, is the unimportant tournament which is only a dress rehearsal for the upcoming world cups. No one cares about it.

Well, I do think it's more important this Gold Cup, because it gives a ticket to the Confederations Cup...

Plus the USA and mexican national teams only play this one wit their best team... they send an alternative team to the other cup

What do you mean by that?
