Travel/Tickets: USA versus Honduras in San Pedro Sula, Honduras (10/10/2009)

I am thinking of making up shirts this week - would anyone be interested in this design? Do you think it is too offensive to the Hondurans?

 

not personally interested but i dont think its too offensive. just dont care for the bandana look.

 

Wayne, I personally love the idea of the shirt and dont find it too offensive.. Also plato typico's are always delicious and usually very cost friendly down there.. I would hate to see any of us gringo's go all the way to Honduras and be eating at a Ruby Tuesday's or Applebees, try the local food and restaraunts..Plus I have found out from my travels that the locals will gain a better appreciation of Americans in general if you support their local businesses as opposed to big corporate chains..Most of these people make some pretty meager wages down there for the most part, so buying a meal and leaving them a little extra if it was good is a great way to help support their livelihood down there....On a side note, do most places serve gallo pinto down there or can it not be found...I know the Costa Ricans and Nicaraguans often fight over who makes the best gallo pinto, so I would sure like to try the Honduran version to compare if it is offered down there...Last note...Frank you are the freaking man, I will be at your bar Thursday night after my plane lands and I get checked in next week..ctown80

 

It's one of the Mayan ruins at Copan

 

Yes, they have a rice and beans dish down here, but they don't call it Gallo pinto. Just ask for rice and beans, arroz con frijoles. It has a bit of a cocoanut taste in Honduras

 

tifo? there will be a few dozen of us AT MOST. wear a US shirt, bring a flag....thats all the display i think we will need.

 

I will have my Red American Outlaws shirt, or possibly the red shirt that Wayne is making for the game along with my flag bandana and scarf and what not...Im only bringing carry on for the plane, so I have to pack lightly....Frank, quick question? Does you bar have ESPN from the USA on satelite, which will be broadcasting Nebraska vs Missouri in football on Thursday night?? Thanks, ctown80..

 

I am bringing an 8' x 12' US Flag for unfurling when we score. I'm betting we will have enough people to support that.

Also wearing a red shirt, my USA hat, USA scarf and my AO bandanna. Anyone wanna color coordinate? LOL

 

thanks, but im okay without coordination. that seems to cause enough issues here.

 

thats fine, wear whatever you like. i dont have any AO gear as im not an AO member. dont know where ill sit or stand, depends upon the tickets too. i have a standard size flag that i bring with me to all the games. of course i will be supporting the US vocally and in dress.....

 

Not sure about poles in the stadium, I never tried. YOu can pick up a prepaid phone as soon as you get there, costsabout 7 dollars. 10 cents a minute for calls back to the u.s.

Let me know when you fly in,

 

We don't have satelite in the bar, but there are 2 local espn feeds. I have satelite in my house, and a sling box, maybe I could hook something up for you.

 

Yea-I was just joking about the fashion coordinating.



So what do you guys think of this shirt idea. I can make either of them if you like. I'll check how much blank shirts cost tomorrow.

 

its cool that you want to do something and make some shirts, but personally im okay without it. just not into that kind of thing. overall, im in favor of whatever gets all of us down there supporting the yanks, though....

 

Um...ok.

I just put up a couple of ideas because others who are already going were asking about coming up with a shirt for the trip, so i ran with it. You don't have to buy one.

 

BTW-the broadcaster for this match has a list of venues in the US subscribing to the game on their web site.

oh, i know. im sorry if i came off sounding negative. was just responding, as one of the people that will be down there, to let you get an idea of how many you may want to print....

 

Has anyone who ordered tickets from US Soccer received them?

 

No, but last week they sent an email saying they expected to deliver them by today....

Does anyone know if they send them via UPS/Fedex or the post office?

 

I got that email. Was just checking to see if anyone had received theirs yet today.
