      Gold Cup starts tonight with Honduras vs Costa Rica (not a bad game to watch TBH) and Canada desperately trying not to lose versus French Guiana. Of course, Canada may have already won because, in true CONCACAF fashion, French Guiana is insisting on playing Florent Malouda despite being ruled ineligible. Ah CONCACAF.

          From the article:
          FIFA theoretically would’ve been O.K. with Malouda playing this month. The Gold Cup isn't their tournament. But CONCACAF isn’t O.K. with it, and the key can be found in section XV. a. of the Gold Cup regulations. It reads:

          Each participating Member Association shall select its national representative team from the best players who are nationals of its country and under its jurisdiction, and are eligible for selection in accordance with the provisions of the applicable FIFA Regulations.

          That last clause is the issue. Although Malouda can appear for French Guiana because it isn’t in FIFA, CONCACAF chooses to conduct its biennial championship according to FIFA's eligibility guidelines. Malouda is cap-tied to France in FIFA competition and since the Gold Cup is contested under the same rules, he's unable to play for anyone but Les Bleus in either. CONCACAF doesn’t consider a player’s eligibility until game day. Nothing stopped French Guiana from adding Malouda to its roster or bringing him to the USA. But if he steps onto the Red Bull Arena pitch in uniform, Les Yana Dòkòs will forfeit.

                To be fair there aren't many other examples outside concacaf where a team can play in a confederations title tournament but not the World Cup....

                    They played him last night against Honduras and tied. CONCACAF is reviewing the matter so it will probably end up 3-0 Honduras.

                    Well, at least we got the W. First place through two games with last place Nicaragua up next.

                      ...except that US and Panama are tied on goal differential, the first tie-breaker; US only in first by scoring more goals overall (2nd tie-breaker). That means that first place in the group will be determined by who can outscore the opponent by more goals, Panama over Martinique or US over Nicaragua. Conceding two goals last night could easily cost us first place.

                        Alright, Canada can clinch a knockout round spot with a win or draw against Honduras. Hopefully it goes better than the last time Canada needed a result against Honduras...
