Teams are Set for the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup

Today, in the Copa Centroamericana (one of approximately 80 international tournaments currently in progress around the world), the 5th place match was won by Guatemala over Nicaragua. Why, you may ask, should those outside of one of those two countries pay any mind at all to that fact? The answer is that 5th place in that particular Copa came with a bonus the final invite to the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The teams are now set, and here they are:

Automatically Qualified (3): United States (host), Mexico, Canada
Qualified through the 2010 Caribbean Championship (4): Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Cuba, Grenada
Qualified through the 2011 Copa Centroamericana (5): Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala

Now that the teams are set, well have group stage fixtures very soon.
