Costa Rica, the United States, and Honduras are some names being thrown around as potential replacements, but with the Gold Cup being held in June 2011, these teams will have difficulty fielding A-squads and will likely send experimental sides. And since Mexico is already doing this, the competition would become too watered-down with two Concacaf B-squads in the 12 team field. Conmebol must look to Asia, Europe, or Africa in order to maintain the prestige of this event, the winner of which qualifies for the 2013 Copa Confederaciones in Brazil.
ATP 250s
US Mens Clay Court and Morocco tourneys this week, Mardy Fish and Albert Montanes are the respective #1 seeds. Both of these are showcase opportunities for players to move up the rankings and/or take home hardware like Juan Ignacio Chela did last year in Houston. A lot of the big boys are taking a break this week.
Fecha 8
Argentinos, Godoy Cruz, and Velez (one game less) are tied for second with 14 points, behind River and Estudiantes (leaders with 15). The table looks clogged at the moment: Argentinos has a group phase Libertadores game this week.
