What's your impression about the ongoing 4th Gold Cup Preseason Tournament?

I will say that it's a fairly well organized competition, well covered in terms of media, clearly I guess that had to do with caliber of people organizing the tournament, as Media men you will expect their colleagues will rally round them, but sincerely I will give it a good pass park.
