I'm bored.... and I'm wondering if there are any soccer fans here that are keeping track of this tournament.

Yeah I'm real bored.

I'm into soccer but even I had to look up what this Cup of Nations is. Seems to be the central American counterpart of the European Cup.

I'm not really an expert when it comes to central American soccer, but isn't the only somewhat successful nation there Costa Rica (successful in so far that they've played in the World Cup once or twice)?

Yeah, Honduras has won it twice as well and I think Guatemala won it once.
Over all this tournament isn't extremely important, it's the qualifiers for central america basically for our regions EuroCup which is the CONCACAF Gold Cup (I'm wondering who's hosting it this time around.)

And it's worthy to note that out of that region the most successful nations are probably Honduras and Costa Rica considering they're the only ones who qualified for a World Cup at all. Costa Rica having qualified more that once (1990, 2002, and 2006.) and Honduras only once (1982).
