I know another World Cup in 4 years, but aren't there other competitions between?

Gold Cup next year, Olympics and Copa America in 2016, Confederations Cup in 2017.

There will be a bunch of friendlies sprinkled in between all of that plus 2018 World Cup qualifying starting up in May 2016.

No. We just automatically qualify for 2018 and there's nothing in between.

2015 Gold Cup, 2016 Copa America and start of WC qualifying, 2017 Gold Cup, CONCACAF final round of qualifying and god willing the Confederations Cup.

Miscellaneous friendlies in between.

It was a joke. I figured someone would tell him the real deal.

You have to win your confederations tournament. Which means we have to win the 2015 Gold Cup.

Winners of the respective regional tournaments, plus the WC host and the previous WC winner, to make an 8 team mini tournament.

Thanks

Another question, how do they mix the national team events with club play? Won't club play interfere with the coherency of the national squad? Are the tournaments staggered to not interfere?

There are "international breaks" for friendlies, WC qualifying, etc.

They all take place roughly around the same time as the World Cup. So, really, it's just MLS that is still in season.

An updated USMNT schedule stickied would be a good idea for this board.

Not technically. Mexico could win, then we could win the playoff with them as the 2014 Gold Cup Champs.

I'd rather we just win and avoid the playoff.

Dumb question for the 2017 Confederation Cup: who is the eighth team if Brazil wins this WC?

Also, I am in rio and watched the game last night at the big screen on Copacabana. I also insulted a rude Mexican. CSB I know. Will tell you when I get back.

So we are the Gold Cup favorites, right? Or will it be Costa Rica?
