Mexico coach to skip Copa America

Needless tp say Mexico its very important to COMEBOL why else would they invite Mexico to every Copa America, but good that Mexico is focusing on CONCACAF and giving the Gold Cup the priority,(especially what they did when the HIAI flu virus broke out) thats to show COMEBOL that Mex & US don't need of their talented teams like they think we do..sometimes i get the impression that SA teams think we are just dying to play them and thats is not enteirely true,,Mexico & US draws enough crowds here in the US..who needs COMEBOL!!!....

i dont know why @#$%n people are complaining that mexico has to take the under 23 team.. wen last year they did it to the us team in the confederations cup they took their squad a n for the cold cup they had to take their squad b n c... so stop @#$%n complaining n live with it.. @#$% for everything yall gotta complain.. @#$%n pendejos

GOD. They haven't played one game and there already mucking

it all up.. Who would you rather beat: The Argentenians or Trinidad ?

@ Alejandro,
thank you for having a brain, unlike other who comment with out merit..

Concacaf's garbage, they know Mexico can hang with the South Americans but are trying to push the US market by handicaping the strongest in the regional so as to give the USMNT some sort of even grade - like grading on a curve.. If you don't understand what I'm talking about let me shed some light.. Concacaf awarded from last gold cup forward the hosting nation to the US (really can you get more obvious then that), not even the Eropeans do that for any nation. Secondly, US can't compete with South American futbol - not even close it's a joke.. Concacaf knows this that's why they regulated concacaf teams to their U-23 squads; this way people get fooled in believing US and Mexican soccer are relatively close to each other once they both get elimanated in group stage. Think about Mexico always gives a great showing in this tournament ALWAYS, why then would their own region hold them back - anyone..? anyone..?
I'll tell you why, because concacaf wants to push both products bringing in revenue from both markets and they feel by creating an illusion of equality in competition levels of their two biggest markets, eventually US will grow a bigger market to bring more money because of it potentional growth.. FIFA, Conmebol, Eufa, concacaf and all the governing football regions care about one thing over everthing growth else - growth in money - it's a big business.. Concacaf has one mega player in that money making machine and that's Mexico's FMF.. I'm not telling you what I think people, I'm giving facts.. Here are some more facts for you, number 1 selling jersey in the US by far not even close on back order for 2 and a half months this last summer the black Mexican select jersey, the second best selling jersey in this country (US) - that's right the Chivas (de Guadalajara), the third best selling jersey, very good the Manchester United Chicharito jersey. Don't believe me look it up - you're already on the internet. Concacaf will fool some, but not the masses of true football fans..

The winner of the Gold Cup will play in the 2013 Confederations Cup....that is huge for a coach trying to prepare the team for the World Cup....Mexico would play against the Best in the World, in Brazil, one year before the World Cup is held in Brazil.

So next year; Gold Cup > Copa America

Amigos no hay que estar enojado con la verdad..No comigo pero si con la confederacion Mexicana de futebol!!!!! Usteds pueden llevar 5 jugadores con mas de 23 anos....For those that forgot their Spanish Class in High School....Friends don't hate me cause I speack the truth..Be mad at the Mexican Soccer Federation...U're able to take five older players....

concacaf and conmebol should united and make a better competition for the best of those teams..

I'm Brasilian living in the US. I've many Mexican friends and a Mexican wife which I have 2 boys who hates when I make fun of Mexico. This time I have to make fun of Mexico. In Brasil second place for us is as bad as last. Here are some comments praising for when Mexico achieved third. This is a joke. Copa de Oro which they say is "Very" important against Belice, Haiti, Guadalupe, Cuba...Teams that don't have much to offer as a challenge... he bitc@$s out from the oldest international tournament as important as World Cup...Huge teams in the world (Brasil 5 cups, Argentina 2, Uruguay 2 world cups) cause he has no fate on his on team...Go USA know the crap out of Mexico again....USA!!!!!

Fück concacaf, Mexico should leave concacaf and join conmebol..

Mexican Federation sucks,, But Go El Tri!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Copa Oro the month before the Copa America? Why would Chepo not go to the tournament? It doesn't make sense. Even if he is concentrating on Copa Oro, he can concentrate on Copa America as well, right? Is it because MEX has to take a U-23 team to Copa America? Are the other countries sending their best players regardless of age?

same comments, same haters. nothing exiting, adios

Here we go again, mexicant's talking as if they where the best.. mexico is going to win this, mexico is going to win that, bla, bla, bla. When are this mexican't losers are going to understand or better yet WAKE UP??!!!!

WOW, here we go again.

Mexico needs to change their whole federation and mentality if they want to be something in the soccer world..

mexico needs pablo barrera and javi hernandez

bottom line is this,Mexico deserves to be the third best country nation behind brazil and argentina in the americas,thats right! they have been invited to copa america since mid 90's,first one they were invited to,they finished 2nd,and finished 2nd again in 2001,and have finished 3rd 3 times,so out of 7 times they were invited,look how good the results were???dont forget how bad they beat brazil and paraguay,but they lost against argentina but beat uruguay for 3rd place in 2007...GIVE CREDIT where its DUE!!!!

if mexico can compete with their sub 23 than they are on their way to do great things... every copa america mexico brings their A squad and destroys teams that are playing with their b squads.. and they always fall short against Brasil and Argentina..yeah they beat brasil here and there but they never win the tournament.. last time they beat brasil in the group stage..brasil won that cup..

I cant believe Chepo is not showing up. I saw Contacto Deportivo last night and Joaquin said Mexico will not make it out of the group stage. Ha!!! Common TRI make him eat his words. But Chepo common!!!! Mexico has a ton of talent and even if they only let our under 23 squad play I say oh well. How many times have we been runners up in the past 20 yrs. twice and third place in the last tournament.

They are playing in the same group as Uruguay , Chile and Peru. Prediction:
1.- Uruguay
2.- Chile or Peru
3.- mexico
Not even their coach believe they can do something, this is why he does not want to coach in Copa America.

last copa America Mex finished third logically not a bad finish. but most of the time these comment boards aren't logical.

Chepo said that he will not be the coach because he will be focusing on the Gold Cup while the assistant focuses on the Copa America. (according to espn).

Coach de la Torre doesn't want to play Copa America because if he had bad results he might not survive to coach another day. The man is not a fool.
