FootieFool Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 This video montage was put together by some Spanish network, showing all significant meetings between Canada & Honduras since The Hex in 1981. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3DdG1AYNQ8 I don't speak Spanish and the video quality is brutal, but thought this video was interesting none the less, to give some historical context on the rivalry that exists between the 2 teams. And it was nice to see deVos in action again. Of course, that montage didn't show this moment from 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQlMjIFZtfE&NR=1 The backpass was brutal, but the dive in the box deserved a 9.9 from the Russian judge for artistic embellishment.

We beat them home and away in '86 and then tied on the road and won at home in '94 before drawing both times in '06. That's a 3-0-3 record.

Guest Jeffery S. Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Been reading Honduras press online and they feel they are the underdogs, not having beaten us in an official match in 27 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 and there are ALWAYS goals! Get ready Montreal. twice down 0-1 in those highlights to win 3-1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I defintely feel 3 goals coming on for us. Which should put us to 4 points at home and looking ok. Though 4 points away would be quite a coup this time around. For some reason I thought maybe we drew in Costa Rica. I recall Grande having a very impressive match. I thought he even scored. Must be confusing that with Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my guts here, but the closer this match gets and the more I hear the boys talk, the more I think they feel like they have something to prove and are getting set to blow the lid off the house tomorrow night. Or it could just be that week old chili I had for lunch talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this - I had never seen the highlights of that 1981 game that we lost 2-1 (in the final qualifying round, where all matches were played in Honduras). I had heard that the winning goal by Honduras in this game was offside but had never seen it so didn't include it in that score.ca podcast I did of the worst calls to screw us. Looking at it now, it does indeed look offside - blatantly so on the replay! Brutal mistake by Bridge & Lettieri (at least I think it is he) on the first Honduras goal but excellent equalizer by Bridge to make up for it.

Gian-Luca Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 They also don't show a couple of really bad calls that led to Honduran penalties in that 1993 game in Honduras. As for the 1991 Gold Cup game, my recollection was that Forest got sent off bringing down a player in the box, which was a legit. call, and is the PK that you can see the Hondurans opening the scoring with I think about 5 or 6 minutes into the game. It helps to explain why we lost 4-2. On a more positive note, great to see that George Pakos goal that gave us the 1-0 win in Honduras in 1985. I haven't seen that goal in 23 years!

red card Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 ditto for me re Pakos goal - that goal is more etched in my memory than the clinching Newfoundland match. watching the video, it seems like Honduras sure gets quite a bit of penalties against us and Canada has really played them tough in their own backyard.

Tuscan Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well after looking at footage, we should be prepared to concede to them at least one penalty tomorrow, they seem to be better actors and divers than footballers. Sonsofbitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectorj Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I remember that parade and the game against England before the World Cup. More people were cheering for England than Canada. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
