Gold Cup 2015 [View all]

Starts Tuesday, 6/7. Who's gonna watch?

Looking at the US team, the offense and midfield is as good as any in CONCACAF, but the defense is still lacking, especially in goal. Brad Guzan is a horrible keeper (Can't Aston Villa do better than that?) and his backup, Nick Rimando is even worse. At least with Tim Howard in goal there was someone who could cover for all the defensive mistakes. Not anymore.

But it is CONCACAF, and most the countries aren't that strong. And 8 of the 12 teams go through to the final round play. So the U.S. will go through.

The top teams IMO are US, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Honduras. Jamaica could have a run.

I'll have to go with Costa Rica to win it all in a final over the US. In CONCACAF, Costa Rica has the full package.
