Bringing their best 6 teams for tournaments is fine. It makes la copa more interesting. Now a full merge of both confederations like some people here are suggesting, should be an absolute "hell no!", because most of those teams suck big time, and I want our confederation to continue to be high level. But their best 6 for la copa, I like it! Their best 6 are around the level of our worst 5, so I think it works.

[@franciscoflamenco]

Fusing both federations wouldn't work because there's way too many micronations in Concacaf. But making this format the new standard for Copa America is probably a very good idea. Not only is it more accurate (America includes North America after all) but it'd finally allow for a more consistent tournament. Copa America has been having to resort to guests from other confederations to try to have an interesting tournament format for ages now.

@guillaumegiroux9425 "almost" does not matter in football. Either they won, or they did not. However, it's true that they played well and had a good tournament. But they're still not better than teams like Uruguay or Ecuador. Ecuador had to face Argentina right before Canada, that's why they were kicked out earlier. But objectively speaking, they're better teams than Canada. In fact, Ecuador ALMOST kicks out Argentina (which Canada couldn't do in 2 chances), but again, an almost does not matter. They're also not a better team than Colombia or Brazil, which were in a much more challenging bracket in the tournament. So yes, they're at the level of the 5 worse from Conmebol, which is still a good thing.

I'm hoping this will lead to the two confederations, CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, merging together into one confederation consisting of the entirety of the Americas. I know there would be a lot of national teams, but I think it'd be great for the sport over here in the western hemisphere.

[@Nextraker]

They should have a nations league

[@mellowado6184]

Really? How's does the addition of crap Gold Cup teams improve things for Argentina? None of them would be contenders...😂

[@RealBlockbit]

@@mellowado6184 Its actually a great idea. Just mad because you hate America.

[@gabrielsamaroo6691]

As someone from the carribean i don't want the two confederation's to merge. Some carribean and central american countries have gotten close to winning in the past and in the future will probably happen as carribean and central american sides are developing, but if we were against sourh american teams it wouldn't even be close

[@mellowado6184]

The USMNT wouldn't qualify either. They barely qualified for the last World Cup.

[@AlejandroDaniel531]

Pero los de América Central podrían crear un equipo y los de América Insular otro, para que así se escoja a los mejores jugadores de los países y estén más cerca.

[@hilol421]

Big thanks to yt for showing me this video now during the tournament, i was hell of confused why it was in the USA while i thought Copa America was just South America, but now it makes all sense that they changed that.

[@BeWe1510]

Merging the tournaments permanently could work. 10 teams from South America, the top 6 from North America, 8 from North America via qualifiers and a different host every time. It would mean a high class tournament that could generate interest worldwide and the small nations would still have a realistic chance of making it to a big competition.

[@BecomingNothing0]

Fiago always coming in with the facts 💯

[@TheMythYouNeverSolve]

Who’s here after the shitty peformace from security

[@ImmortalRimas]

Yeah I agree they should just merge and have the Copa America be the main most Premier International Continental Football competition for the entire Americas especially as it’s the most prestigious in the region anyway and has a history as rich as the Euros, Africa Cup of Nations with even the Asian Cup is becoming more well known than the Gold Cup and of course there’s the World Cup

[@evnejg94]

Let’s be completely honest, if concacaf and conmebol merged it would be a win win scenario. There’s no reason we should be separate, we are one continent, America, divided north & south.

[@he96765]

Sadly elitist south american fans think this is pointly, they are short sighted, it's literally a win win situation

[@StevenSmith-mv4ge]

This sounds good!

[@robertoorrego4374]

As a South American I hate it. I'm fine with a guest or 2 but the South American championship should be played by South American teams. I hate that the u.s has now hosted it twice. Imagine China hosting the euros 💀 its dumb.

[@Sumohano]

As a southamerican you should know that Concacaf and Conmebol are in America, the continent (not like they think in the US), so it's absoluely logical they play one single "continental" tournament. China of course, is not in Europe, so that argument would be valid there.

[@robertoorrego4374]

@@Sumohano no. North America is one continent, South America is another, the separation of Concacaf and Conmebol follows that rule except for some exceptions moved to concacaf because they cant compete with the rest of the continent. please read a map of the continents and learn. Copa America is for South America, gold cup is for North America, euro cup is Europe, Africa cup of nations for Africa, afc asian cup for Asia and ofc nations cup for oceania. simple. hosting it in the u.s is pure stupidity and an easy way for Conmebol suits to fill thier pockets. I hope this better helps you understand the issue with and the greed of hosting it in the u.s

[@itsurboi7682]

Finally a great decision to make copa america from both continents

[@misterbondage007]

I hope the Copa will remain like this going forward. But instead of all Conmebol teams automatically qualifying, there's qualifiers where the worst 3 teams should have a play in with the next best 3 Concacaf teams. Also never increase the teams beyond 16. 16 is the perfect number for this tournament.

[@GalacticNovaOverlord]

Conmebol teams are good enough though. That wouldn't be fair as of now. Maybe top 9 in conmebol

[@AJ-bb1tc]

Its a copa America cup not copa oro so no all south American teams get a chance

[@Silver-zl9ow]

The copa America is the CONMEBOL cup, ofc all of the teams will play, CONCACAF are only guests. But even without that Bolivia, Venezuela and Peru will take down Honduras, Panama or Jamaica for sure.
