Away sure but we should take advantage of our home field advantage. You are assuming we lose to Honduras away correct? If we played for a draw in both of those games we would atleast get 1 draw imo. Im not and never would accept the idea of playing for a loss. Just saying stick to the game plan. I think the style of play that we've been using since Floro took over (compact, holding our shape, minimizing mistakes, playing the ball on the deck and taking our chances when they come) can get us goals and a win on Friday. Even if we are down a goal or 2, our system can lead to a goal and a comeback. I'm just saying not to panic, not to change the game plan. Its not a do or die game.

theaub Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 This is reaching the realm of being too technical, but we will know just after half what the result of Honduras/El Salvador is. If Honduras does get a win on the road this does become a match where we absolutely need a point at a minimum. Let's just win and make it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 All zika jokes aside; a Honduran NT fringe player has caught it. http://www.diez.hn/laseleccion/940296-99/el-zika-ataca-la-selecci%C3%B3n-de-honduras-y-tumba-a-bayron-m%C3%A9ndez http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayron_Méndez The zika jokes are not my kind of humour.

jpg75 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Honduras going with 2 forwards in ES: http://www.diez.hn/laseleccion/942616-99/pinto-apuesta-por-la-dupla-choco-lozano-costly-para-este-viernes Costly and Lozano up top, so guess Najar on the left and Garcia on the right...Espinoza and Acosta or Claros in the middle.

Even if they lose, they would have a great chance to advance if they win their two home matches against us and ES I don't agree - a loss would hurt them a lot. I actually expect both sides to be pretty passive and wouldn't be surprised with a draw. lets say Honduras loses that first match and then wins at home. They're at 3 points while SLV and Canada are at 4 points (assuming we lose both matches against Mexico). That's means that even with a win against us, Honduras would end at 6 points (assuming they lose at Azteca on the last match). The only way 6 points could get them through is if Canada and SLV lose all their matches against Mexico (which is likely) AND the last Canada / SLV game ends in a draw.

johnyb Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 A loss would virtually eliminates Honduras with 0 points from 3 games. They would have to win out their remaining home games AND get a result in Azteca to have any hope. Doubt that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
