is there any Honduran here that has seen his NT playing a WC game live?

[jcvf90]

I have been to a few, the dreadful game against Tnt in 01 the game at the saprissa in 01, were u guys got away with a handball and a lucky bounce got u a draw. I was at the mexico game in 01 in SPS, I was at the one in 96 in el morazan. I am planning to go to a few this time around, i wanted to go to this one but its nearly impossible cause of school.
Anybody know if its going to be on TV here in the US.
BTW Ur right morado I would rather lose to u guys in WCQ and make it to a WC.

[El Chuma]

It will be a great clash, I would watch it, but I will be at thr us~mex game.

[Moises]

the positive thing about honduras losing the Uncaf is that there going to have to make it up at San Jose. Also same thing goes for Costa Rica.

This game is gonna be great. I can't wait, even after the results of the UNCAF costa ricans can't claim their the best in C.A. this game will prove who truly is the strongest team in the area. Honduras is missing a couple of key players but they still have enough ammo to keep them going, I predict they win by 2 goals. It is gonna be a very tough victory, that is for sure.

I did! Watch ur comments, I can see you guys suffering the same as u did with with the last 5-2. Keep talking smack, it will hurt more when u lose.

lol for a honduras fan, your always so negative! lets keep the faith!

I see this being a tight match. i cant/ will not give a prediction simply because I have no clue what the score will be. But it will be close.

It's the truth, we can only brag over them once we have more WC appearances then them. Costa Rica's Fed. is less corrupted then ours accept it or not. Hows? pavon and amado still playing??? drop them.
It's pretty stupid to not have rambo in this game he can be a great attacking midfielder for this game, even with wilson missing.

These past games were embarrassing! the only good game was against the 2 up over El Salvador, we should be worried.
Whats going through Ruedas mind? I wonder how much money piggy Ferrari is now paying him to exculed rambo?

give me one good reason why rambo aint playing? because he played 5 mins in his last game in parma his in bad shape?? if so Muma has been warming the bench alot more! so why is he here?

[Titan 7]

Let's see, Honduras is not having Rambo, and no W. Palacios, plus Suazo is not getting playing time in his team Benfica.

Who are the subs for this guys?

That link just proved how much We've owned you guys at your house and at our house. You guys have won most of your so called "19" games against is but most the wins have been in neutral venues/friendly games and that sort of matches. Look under the FiFa World Cup Qualification matches Honduras won 8 and lost only 2 in their so called C.A. rivalry. And the Qualifiers are what matters, and for the last couple years Costa Rica has found a way to get the best out of the other opponents and recuperate from the loss we gave them (5-2) in the last hex, and qualify at the end. I truly believe Honduras will qualify this time around, its the best cycle of players i have seen since i have been watching the team, I'm not being biased at all, even though i love this country, i truly do believe they have the talent and the likes of a great tactician as is Rueda i believe they have alot to build up.

[Ronaldinho11]

I said 19 my bad it should be 17, Costa Rica has won 17 matches to Honduras 14 in their face-offs.

[Ronaldinho11]

Ticos, who would you guys say is your most on form player coming into this game?

Everyone seems to be in good form...all the players that played in the UNCAF have been together for 3 weeks now....the players from our local league have been playing except for William Sunsing because his club Liberia is still in preseason...the only "abroad player" that hasn't been active is Gonzalo Segares ...but the rest are starters in their clubs in either the league matches or preseason matches.

How about Honduras abroad players? All I know is that Suazo has been injured...Figueroa is a starter...Nunez is getting minutes...and Peri just debuted with Alaves.
