CONCACAF Nations League

[Satchmo Distel]

The USA beat Cuba 7-0, suggesting that the tournament is not really pitting the best against the best or protecting weak sides from hammerings:

However, this seems to be an anomaly. Cuba simply should not be in Tier A. They could solve it by scrapping tiers and simply having 8 divisions of 6 teams and one of 7, with promotion and relegation. OTOH that would lead to over-familiarity: how many USA v Mexico games do you need? There's also a strong argument, made in the article, that USA benefits more from friendlies against top European and South American sides than endless games v Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica and Canada, whom they would not meet in a World Cup finals tournament due to seeding.

It's working better in the other top level groups, though. Bermuda went to Panama and won; Haiti drew Costa Rica at home (and Keylor Navas had to bail them out a couple of times as well) after losing to Curacao, and Martinique drew T&T away.

Once this round of results allows for sorting out the levels to teams, it should work fairly well.

They need to combine all the America’s into one confederation and then have three or four tiers.
