    Nigeria have great athletes but they lack technique and imagination. They had Mexico dead to rights 2, maybe 3 times, and just blew it.

    Some fan destroyed what could have been a great counter attack.

    I thought Honduras' 2010 WC qualification was all Bornstein.

    Yeah, I am sure he paid the Costa Rican defense to let Bornstein score that goal qualified us. The only match I can see might have had some dubious moments were the home game vs Mexico in the hex were Costly handballs for a goal and then the third goal was slightly offside. But I don't think they were egregious mistakes. I mean the only other weird occurrence in that campaign were sort of harmful against us. The infamous chikiDracula match vs Costa Rica were we had a goal called off, and maybe Noel Valladares spilling the ball in the last second vs Trinidad in Port of Spain.

    Well--you'll remember Honduras had to win at El Salvador their final game of 2009, and they did.

    And later on, many El Sal national team players were convicted of Gold Cup match fixing.

    "Helped" doesn't mean "guaranteed".

    I have a question for you guys...

    I don't want to get charged an extra fee when using my debit/credit card in Brazil. I've heard it's smart to open a debit account with a Brazilian bank here, so that I can access it/the ATM in Brazil without being charged extra. Have any of you done this?

    Any idea which bank is the biggest in Brazil?

    If you have good enough credit, some banks/airlines offer credit cards with no international transaction fees. I think airline cards usually have a fee after the 2nd year, but some banks will eliminate the yearly fee if you have an account with a substantial minimum balance.

    Some banks have agreements with the larger banks in the world, so if you use an ATM, you may only pay a couple of dollars as a charge instead of a percentage. Paying 3-5 bucks for a cash withdrawal a couple of times is a lot less hassle than opening up an account.

    You might want to see your bank branch to see if they can help you out.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I do have B of A, but I don't think they have an agreement with a larger bank in Brazil. I'm going to keep doing research.
