In a way I am surprised Teibert isn't starting but it looks like a pretty offensive line up for this one.

I don't think so.

So far so good for the Caps.  Could have easily had a second or even a third.   Would be nice if they could bury them. 

[narduch]

Raposo makes it 2-0

[dyslexic nam]

Looking better now at 3-0.  

EDIT: 4-0

EDIT: 5-0

This would be why I wasn't overly concerned about starting the first game at home.  5-0 and could have been more.

Good to see Yao get a run out towards the end.

Attendance anyone?

That Real España keeper had a rough game.

It looked bad on TV other than the supporter section.

That is the Honduras #1 keeper.

Attendance was 13000 and something,  I just barely heard the PA guy  in the stadium announce it while watching the game on One Soccer .

[narduch]

13,000 eh.

Maybe Ozzie should investigate

The exhaustion thing makes sense because it's hard to imagine a professional soccer game being played with less intensity than that 2nd half last night 

[Watchmen]

Having been at the game, I would have guessed about 10-11k. Announced at 13.6k makes sense, as there's lots of season ticket holders who don't go to midweek games.

My guess would be the right back. Having an absolute nightmare on goals 2 to 5.
