Preliminary discussions have already taken place between U.S. Soccer, Soccer United Marketing and FOX about trying to put together a summer tournament featuring top teams that won't take part in the World Cup, sources with knowledge of the conversations confirmed to Goal.
There would have to be quite a bit to work out to make such a tournament a reality, with one source confirming that the discussions were very much in the preliminary stage.

Some of the countries missing the World Cup include the US, Netherlands, Italy, Chile, Ghana, Wales. You could definitely make a quality tournament out of those squads plus a few more. What do you think, Soccer-Era?
