COPA Americas

Apparently CONCACAF is trying to modify the Copa America into a 16-team tournament that includes 6 North and Central American Teams:

I think this is an awesome idea that could make the tournament more exciting and legit - hopefully on par with the Euro Cup and African Nations Cup. I have always thought the guest invitees system with the Copa America tournament (2 out of 12 teams - usually Mexico, Costa Rica and/or USA) was odd/random (Japan in 1999!) and controversial.

P.S. please ignore my EPL predictions below (Liverpool is in trouble and Chelsea is still Chelsea)
