It has been in projects. But 1) They play a different kind of elimination, like the one in Europe. 2) Many of them, powerful nations, specially USA, would not qualify. 3) America is big, very big, in comparission to Europe, and it's not a matter of team quantity, but a matter of organization. For intance travel times would be great, the same with the changes on envioraments and climatic conditions. 4) It's hard to break traditions.

Anyway, great games, I didn't see any since Argentina vs IC, until the one with Italy today so I cannot say much about them. However the result on USA vs CR did surprised me, I knew US will lose but 3-0... One more reason to fear CR, though they lost Koller, they got Varos (it's with "V" right, I don't want to spell it wrong), it would be interesting to see CR advance to quarters.
