Oh, there isn’t one? That’s strange. I thought there must be some sort of “American Championship” two years after the World Cup. If there is not, they should set one up!

Well they have the Gold Cup every two years for CONCACAF.

I have long advocated merging CONCACAF and COMNEBOL. Sure it would be a little more tricky for the US to qualify if they had to deal with playing Brazil or Argentina, but it sure would make for a lot more meaningful games.

And actually in 2016, there will be such a tournament. The Copa America, which normally is held in South American for COMNEBOL, is going to be held in the US, and will include six teams from CONCACAF.

It is a one-off to celebrate the Centennial of COMNEBOL, but if it is a success, I could see it becoming permanent, and held concurrently with the Euro.
