CONCACAF Gold Cup Final appears to be held in Philadelphia this summer. With a third place game as well that means two games in Philly the weekend of July 25/25 at the Linc. Cool stuff.

Will be interesting to see how seriously the US takes it. Having won the 2013 Gold Cup, if we win the 2015 one, we automatically qualify for the 2017 Confederations Cup. If we don't win it, we have to have a playoff with this year's winner. Since there are no WC qualifying this year, teams may actually bring their A squads this year.

Also a big one this year because 6 CONCACAF teams will qualify for the 2016 Copa America that we are hosting and 2 are going to be off of this tournament. US, Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica have already qualified so only 2 spots available.

Why didn't they host it in a soccer city?

Agreed.

Chester definitely could have figured it out.

I'm still pissed about the '09 Final...

We need to get some hardware in the trophy case.
