While there’s been no official word from FIFA, Cordeiro seemed to confirm the Confed Cup has been shuttered, and offered another possible replacement. “It’s done and over with,” he said, according to The Athletic. “In place of Confederations Cup there will be intracontinental playoffs to get to that 48-team (World Cup).”

quote:
“The Gold Cup is only legislated for this year and 2021, so it could go on but it may not happen,” he said. “There have been talks in the last year between CONMEBOL (the South American confederation) and CONCACAF on a kind of combined Copa America,” he added, “but they haven’t been able to come to an agreement on that.”

This is what USSF is doing with their time instead of grassroots investment to try to wean us off pay to play as much as possible. Sad.

Yeah aside from making a joke of the group stages it means the powers that be in this country have even less incentive to improve bc the bar has been lowered even further for qualification. We only saw real push for change after the T&T fiasco.
