Does anyone know if they were playing well or were they getting dominated? San Juan, Argentina to clarify. Here is the link to match info. Looks like a full squad Argentina side and the Hondurans stacking up the lineup defensively. IMO they were preparing for the away match at Azteca. https://www.google.ca/search?q=honduras+national+team&oq=honduras&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j35i39j5j0j69i60j69i61.7185j0j4&client=ms-android-bell-ca&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#sie=m;/x/364gh_cf31fly;2;/g/11b66jrs60;ln;fp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the FIFA disciplinary overview (updated as of May 27, 2016) that Olympique_de_Marseille posted in another thread, Pinto is suspended for 4 matches and fined 7,500 CHF for his actions in the March 29 game against El Salvador. http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/footballgovernance/02/79/27/39/disciplinary_overview_fwc_final_may2016_neutral.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazlo_80 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 So Honduras won't have their coach, or one of their top players (Najar) for this game and they're in a bit of a rough run of form as of late. We also have a new midfielder who's shown he could be dangerous that they've never played against. I'm not saying we've punched our tickets to the hex or anything, but this is probably better circumstances than anyone expected going into this game.

Guest Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If we compare Honduras squad to that of 4 years ago and the same with our squad, it seems that our chances of getting a result is considerably higher. Am I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct? I think we've improved but Honduras will be tough as ever. Last qualifying they started off with 1 point from 2 games and many of the players that killed us in the 8-1 are still there i.e. Martinez and Bengston. They're going to come out for the kill and we need to match them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I recall correctly back when we were playing them in November, a number of us believed that the Honduras squad was a much weaker version of the ones we faced in the 8-1 defeat.

lazlo_80 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 They definitely are. It's just that fear of returning to the scene of our most disasterous loss that is making people tread lightly. the strength of that Canada team versus this one is a debate for another time. But this Honduras team is not playing well at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The bulk of the Honduran squad is largely intact from 4 years ago, however they are 4 years older now and are not as good. Few young players have stepped up to wrestle away their position from the veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I literally have nightmares about watching our team play at highnoon in 40degree weather in San Pedro Sula with WCQ on the line. I can only imagine what our players will be feeling. If this was a neutral site game in 22 degree weather I'd take our chances any day, unfortunately its not.

The CSA release after the Austria camp had this paragraph: "Players will now return to their professional clubs, with some in the midst of their 2016 season and others heading into pre season for the 2016-17 season. Canada Soccer's Men's National Team will regroup again at the end of August." So, my guess is there won't be another camp before the next WCQ window.

I agree that, if we get eliminated, the game in El Salvador will likely be the focus on our frustration. However, looking forward, we are going into September with possibly the strongest roster we've had in years, so a home win against El Salvador should be doable. Scraping to get a tie in Honduras will be the big test and one that I am quite anxious to watch. Despite the last messy result down there, it is possible that Honduras go into this match feeling a bit nervous, knowing that a tie will likely eliminate them. That could work to our advantage. This will be Floro's big test, to keep our shape over a grueling 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what we have to win in Honduras because even if we get to the Hex these are the type of places (besides U S) that we will be playing. If we can't win there now, we probably won't win there against better teams. JUST WIN BABY WIN! I love summer it's my favourite season but I can't wait for September! Ah revenge will be so sweet!

We had a camp and a game against T&T (2-0 for us) in August 2012, which was outside FIFA dates. So, maybe we'll see something similar happening this time but I don't count on it.
