Its not, but a below average start to the tournament, having to win a coin flip to get to the second stage, and then putting together two great games (and a third in the final vs Columbia) was story book, but is 1/50th the accomplishment of making the World Cup.
Technically, Canada won the "Gold Cup" in 1985, as they won the CONCACAF championship to gain entry to the WC, but obviously the format was different.
