On Wednesday of this week, interim CONCACAF president Alfredo Hawit gave the clearest signal yet
that the confederation will collaborate much more closely with CONMEBOL than they have in the past.
Will it be a merger in everything but name? Not yet, but significant factions within both groups
are considering the possibilities.

Conmebol's Copa America is the oldest international continental tournament in soccer, and 2016
will mark its 100th birthday.
That could also be the year that many American soccer fans have a dream come true.

A SALARY CAP FAR, FAR
AWAYIn the most uneventful (in a good way) pre-season of Toronto FC's history, we can't help but gaze
into the distance at our next meaningful opponent, LA Galaxy. In one of the shrewdest moves in MLS
governance, Galaxy persuaded the league to allow them to use Mexican Pesos as their salary cap
currency.

The United States Under-23 men's national team is going to get a proper tune-up for CONCACAF
Olympic qualifying, as it will square off against Mexico's Under-23 side in a friendly at FC Dallas
Stadium in Frisco, Texas, on Feb. 29.
The match will be a culmination of a 10-day training camp in Frisco.

In what was shaping up the be one of the most promising seasons and competitive teams the Beat
had put on the field in recent years everything crashed to a grinding halt. On Monday, January
30th 2012 the league issued a statement to suspend the 2012 season citing the pending legal issues
with former magicJack team owner Dan Borislow.
Dan Borislaw hijacking the magic out of women's professional soccer
What a blow to women's soccer after that magnificent exposition by the US national team at the
CONCACAF Olympics qualifiers. The WPS has decided to cancel the 2012 season after running into a
retaliatory lawsuit bought by the former owner of the magicJack, Dan Borislow.
Novak Djokovic beat Rafal Nadal in a herculean Australian Open finals that lasted 6 hours. The
same day Arsenal had to summon every fibre to overcome a two goal deficit to overcome Aston Villa
and prevent a FA Cup exit.
And then there is the US Women's team that blanked Canada, 4-0, en route to winning the CONCACAF
qualifiers to the London Olympics.

The members of the U.S. Women's National Team didn't even have 24 hours to celebrate their CONCACAF
Olympic Qualifying Tournament Championship before they received some very bad news on Monday
morning. That news amounted to what would be a pink slip for most of us. The WPS (Women's
Professional Soccer (league)) announced Monday morning, they [.
WPS Season Canceled
Mere hours after the US Women reaffirm their dominance in the CONCACAF Olympics Qualifying
tournament, WPS has announced the cancellation of their 2012 season.
This is not entirely surprising considering the well publicized struggles with the owners of
MagicJack reducing the league to only 5 teams (FIFA guidelines specify a minimum of 8 teams to be
considered a league).
On a day when the WPS suspends operations for 2012, let's check in with the USWNT following their
CONCACAF Championship cruise past Canada last night. I'm wondering if some of these ladies won't be
headed across the pond soon.- Greg Seltzer
Alex Morgan scores two goals, two assists in 4-0 American win. The U.S. Women's National Team
defeated Canada 4-0 on Sunday evening in front of 25,427 mostly Canadian fans at BC Palace in
Vancouver. With the dominating performance and win, the U.S. takes the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying
Championship, their third consecutive.
It was the Alex Morgan show as the US downed Canada in the final of CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying.
Morgan scored twice and assisted on two Abby Wambach goals as the US ran out easy winners over the
host nation. The game was largely meaningless save for regional pride, with both sides having
already qualified for this summer's London games.
The president of the Ecuadorian football federation suggests that the tournament would feature
16 teams, six of whom would come from CONCACAF. "I have no doubt that the obstacles are being
overcome," Luis Chiriboga is quoted as saying."

ticket to the 2012 Summer Olympics following last night's 3-0 win over Costa Rica.Ah-oooooooo!USA

The US Women took down Costa Rica 3-0 to book their ticket for this summer's London Olympics.
Tobin Heath scored in the first half, Carli Lloyd continued her current run of form with a goal in
the second half, and Alex Morgan sealed the win with a late goal of her own.
Pia Sundhage made two changes from the team that faced Mexico on Tuesday, preferring Tobin Heath
over Amy Rodriguez and giving converted striker Kelly O'Hara a start at right back.
The U.S. Women's National Team faced a tougher test than expected, but ultimately the Americans
proved too tough for underdog Costa Rica and eventually punched their ticket to the Summer
Olympics.
A first-half goal by Tobin Heath gave the U.S. women the lead and despite a courageous fight
from the Costa Ricans, the United States held that one-goal lead before Carli Lloyd blasted home a
long-range blast in the second half to give the Americans a 2-0 victory in the CONCACAF Olympic
Qualifying semifinals in Vancouver.

It's about time, right? We've got ourselves a U.S. National Team writer. Mike Cardillo, who
we've been reading for YEARS on his site, "That's On Point", for US preview/reviews and English
Premier League musings will be providing some coverage of the Nats as they begin their 2014 World
Cup Qualifying campaign.
Hmm. Looks like a 4-4-2 diamond for the USMNT tonight. Not especially feelin' it, still don't
understand why this camp roster wasn't larger. Oh well.. enjoy the game, player ratings after at
MLSS and Will plans to drop some thoughts tomorrow morning.Rimando; DeLaGarza, Parkhurst, Cameron,

Hearty congrats to the USWNT who are currently storming their way through the CONCACAF Olympic
Qualifying tournament with so much ease that they're actually attracting criticism.

The US Women's National Team knocked off Mexico 4-0 in their final match of the group stage of

Jon Levy The Yanks are coming off what's becoming the typical Jurgen Klinsmann USMNT performance
when faced with less skilled competition. They possessed the crap out of ball, moved it well in
their opponent's half, but failed to generate clear cut scoring chances against a well organized
defense. But they did get a pinch of [.
The next US women's international game is set to start in the next few minutes, and it's not a
friendly. The team is playing for it's right to play in win the London Olympics. The
concacaf playoffs for that opportunity have been anything but competitive, but this game looks to
be promising.
When Cuba's national women's team showed up for Monday night's CONCACAF Olympic qualifying
match against Haiti in Vancouver, BC two players were conspicuously missing.
Unconfirmed reports say star forward Yesenia Gallardo Martinez, 20, and midfielder Yisel

The CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament has been a breeze so far for the U.S. women's
national team, which has outscored two overmatched opponents by a combined 27-0 margin. Things
should be a bit more competitive in Tuesday's final group match.
The U.S. Women's national team figured to face a tougher task against Guatemala on Sunday than
it did after a 14-0 thrashing of the Dominican Republic to open CONCACAF Olympic qualifying on
Friday.
The challenge was slightly tougher, but only by a goal.
Abby Wambach scored two goals to move into third place on the all-time international goals
scored list, while Sydney LeRoux added five goals in a 13-0 thrashing of Guatemala in Vancouver on
Sunday.

Nearly four years ago Jamal Gay was a part of a stunning loss for the New England Revolution as
his side Joe Public FC (Trinidad & Tobago) crushed the Revs 6-1 on aggregate in a CONCACAF
Champion's League qualifier. Gay, who was just 19-years old at the time, scored Joe Public's
winning goal in its 2-1 home leg victory.
Here are the highlights of the USA vs Dominican Republic CONCACAF Olympics match played in
Vancouver, BC. Abby Wambach and Co., made mincemeat of 88th seeded Dominican Republic. Amy
Rodriguez scored five, Heather O' Reilly poured in another three as the US Women scored a record 14
goals to nil.
