The CONCACAF Gold Cup (also known as the Copa Oro) is a twelve nation international football/soccer competition scheduled to take place 7-26 July 2015.

With the exception of Canada, Mexico and USA, all teams have qualified via regional international tournaments to qualify for the Gold Cup.

United States have been the host for every version of the competition since it's inception in 1991. The competition takes place every two years. The reason being it's the most lucrative for CONCACAF. Mexico have hosted some games in the past, this time around, Canada will host two Group B games in Toronto.

USA are the 2013 champions, they will play the winner of the 2015 edition to determine who will play in the FIFA Confederations Cup. Should USA win the 2015 edition of the CONCACAF Gold cup, they'll automatically qualify.

The final will take place in Philadelphia at the Lincoln Financial Field. At the press conferences to announce it earlier this year, Philadelphia Eagles President Don Smolenski admitted he didn't know which way up the trophy was supposed to be and confessed he had had it upside down on his shelf until Jurgen Klinsmann clarified the situation.

The above is a statuette given to the host. This is how the much larger trophy looks when it's the correct way up:

Oh man, I didn't even know we had a thread for the Gold Cup. This should be fun :D

I read on La Prensa Grafica (Salvadorian newspaper) that they expect this Gold Cup to have a hidden prize of two slots to next year's (hopefully not cancelled) Copa America. If USA, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Jamaica were to take 4 of the 6 CONCACAF slots there'd be two more up for grabs based off this tournament.

Again, that all comes to nothing if the tournament is cancelled due to corruption investigations.

Honduras is actually going to be a good game. They have some talent. Looking forward to this.

I wish Fox pushed more of their coverage to prime stations. I don't get fox sports two and it'll look like I'll have to watch it on my phone.

Wait, OP says the game is at 7:30 EST, article says 9:30 EST. I'll have to research a bit.

Edit: US Soccer site has the game at 9:30 EST

I Hope Mexico wins and later beat USA to go to Confederations Cup, but this moment USA players seem to be better connected as a team.

I guess this cup will end :

No 1 : USA
No 2 : Mexico / Costa Rica
No 3 -4 : Jamaica / Panama / Honuras

The only scenario when Mexico wins this cup is if Vela, Gio and Guardado are well connected and play at 100%

Do you think it's Wanchope or something else?

They played great against Colombia and Mexico but didn't manage to get results.

I was disappointed they got rid of Pinto, but I'm not really passionate enough to get up in arms about it or blame every single of the team's shortcomings on that alone like some people. It did feel sleazy, though.

And yeah, they haven't been playing badly, they just can't win for the life of them. Maybe we're doomed to become CONCACAF's Spain.

El Salvador has recently played valiantly against Chile, Spain, and Argentina despite how bad they look on paper. Yes, we did poorly against St. Kitts and Nevis, but I still think we can surprise some people.

Meanwhile, Canada is riding a winning streak but against weak opposition.

I wouldn't be surprised by any results from Group B.

So, is Javier Hernandez completely out for Mexico?

Like they did at the u-17 world cup.

Mexico has been poor as of late, and about to look worse without Chicharito.

However, their group should be easy to dismantle.

More than likely Mexico will not be on Costa Rica's side of the bracket. Honduras and Panama could give them trouble.

People always sleep on Mexico. I still remember the World Cup thread.
They won't make it out of the group phase.
Croatia are going to easily beat Mexico.
Netherlands are going to destroy Mexico.

They'll be fine.

Mexico tends to perform better when we are the underdogs. It costs us a lot against countries who bunker up, like Cuba or the US. :p
