Should FIFA move the US of A to CONMEBOL or UEFA since there's no longer any competition for them in CONCACAF?
Obviously nobody in North or Central America can play to the level of the United States, they should be moved to someplace more competitive...

Lol, defininetly not. The same was said about a mexico a few years ago and it just ridicoulous to think either one has reached a level where they could evenly match the UEFA or CONMEBOL teams. True the US has improved a lot over the last few years and are clearly the dominant team from the region but even like that they still struggle at times against some of the central american teams, so you can't also say they have it way to easy. Until the US demolishes all of their CONCACAF opponents at a conistent rate, the way Australia would do with their Oceania opponents then you could consider them going to CONMEBOL but definitely not UEFA.

Honestly, CONCACAF is getting stronger!!!!!
I know that most people will think I'm crazy. But the truth is look at were CONCACAF at 1990 and look at it now. USA has become a top 30 country year in and year out. And as for Mexico, people say they are not as good as they once were. The truth is that Mexico hasn't got worse; the other countries of CONCACAF have gotten much stronger.
If USA or Mexico were to leave CONCACAF that would kill the progress in that region. Costa Rica and Honduras will continue to be solid CONCACAF squads. I believe Canada will continue to get better and at some point become one of CONCACAF's best (Just behind USA and Mexico). Now that Canada is starting to have some professional clubs of its own, Canada's player pool will strengthen and more Canadians will be able to show case their talent and make the move the Europe. The combination of the two will make Canada's national team much stronger.
So my answer is NO, USA should stay in CONCACAF.

No. They are not competitive enough to be moved to either UEFA or CONMEBOL. In 2005 Mexico could have deserved that as they were ranked 4th worldwide. But the USA is not really good. They just have tall players (especially defenders) who do the dirty work. Tim Howard is a very good GK though, but USA is not good enough. If the FMF would be such a money making machine and actually picking good players, Mexico would not be in the current situation.

dude, that is retarded. although concacaf is one of the weakest regions in fifa, usa hardly dominates anything. though we have won the majority of the clashes with mexico in recent years, we have never been an established force year in and year out. we would never qualify in other regions (especially the 2 strongest which you have listed). let's be content with concacaf and start winning international titles on a regular basis (or at least get to the semis of more than one tournament in a row)

no longer any competition? last time i checked you barely defeated El Salvador
just because you defeated Spain does not mean anything last time i checked you were embarrassed in the Copa America 2007 in which you finished with 0 Pt's in a total of 2 goals in favor and 8 against at least Mexico finished in 3rd place so i would research a little before you make ignorant statements

Are you stupid? UEFA stands for Union of EUROPEAN Football Associations. FIFA doesn't divide countries up according to competitiveness. And if the USA were to be in the UEFA, I guarantee you they would lose more than they do now.

As if it wasn't bad enough that Michael Jackson died, you gotta come in and post something totally outrageous.
First of all FIFA does not have to move or vote on anything they merely would ratify, it would be UEFA or CONMEBOL that would decide to accept any team not currently in their Futbol federation. UEFA would never accept the U.S. because of 2 simple reasons:
1. Europe is not too fond of America
2. More important, the distances teams have to travel.
With regards to CONMEBOL, they don't like Americans either, that's why they're never being invited to another Copa America ever again. Conmebol felt insulted that the U.S. took their B-squad to the tournament, thus they're inviting Mexico and Japan to the 2011 edition.
