The eight seconds which sum up the standard of football at the Gold Cup

There have been many comments on social media and in football programmes which inevitably compared the quality of football in the different competitions. Especially between the Copa America and the Gold Cup. 

The teams at the Gold Cup except Mexico, the USA, Costa Rica and Panama, are not as well known as the teams at the Copa America. Especially in comparison with the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Chile. 

In fact, Mexico and USA want to play in the Copa America, a tournament they have been invited to play in in the past. This is because they feel that the teams in the Copa America are at a similar level to them and the footage in this video strengthens their case. 

Although the video lasts 21 seconds, there is eight seconds between the first error and the second one. It could just be a mere coincidence, but these images are not usually at other tournaments and even less so in the knockout phase of them.
