Usa Vs. Honduras Pre-match

... he was a good player. The January Camp really just supported that thinking. We all felt he deserved to be called in for these qualifiers.”. Last Friday in Tijuana, following Santos Laguna’s 1-1 draw with Xolos in Liga MX, Villafaña told Soccer Nation that he was “living a dream”. Arena sees that as a mindset that is much bigger than one player. “I think they’re all living a dream. But as for Jorge, I’m very happy for him. He’s a good young man. He deserves every bit of this.”. (Honduras Manager Jorge Luis Pinto was asked by Soccer Nation if there was one or two players on the U. S. side that could draw some extra attention from the Honduran team. Professor Pinto highlighted his team’s focus in an elegantly simple fashion.). Jorge Luis Pinto (translated): “There are a lot of players that we will be paying attention to. They have many dangerous weapons. They’ve got guys on the wings. They’ve got guys in the middle. We need to be strong on the left, strong in the middle, and strong on the right. Soccer is a team game. We can’t ...

Groups Revealed For 2017 Concacaf Gold Cup

... 7 th, 2017. The USA’s quest to reclaim the continental championship and wipe away some of the stain from an historically miserable 2015 Gold Cup will begin with group-stage games against Panama, Martinique and either Nicaragua or Haiti, CONCACAF announced Tuesday. The 14 th Gold Cup will be played July 7-26 at 14 stadiums (in 13 metro areas—Dallas gets two) across the U. S.

The Americans avoided the top unseeded nation, Costa Rica, in what should be a relatively easy group stage. Los Ticos were placed in Group A with Honduras. Eleven of the 12 Gold Cup participants have booked their place. The final berth will be determined by this month’s two-game playoff between Haiti and Nicaragua. The survivor will enter the USA’s group. The top two finishers in each group will ...

Mayhem At Rfk! The Usa-honduras Game That Lives In Infamy

... expatriates from around the world have over the years occasionally left the USMNT feeling less like the home team and more like neutrals, or even visitors on their own soil. Another Hexagonal clash with Honduras nearly 16 years ago might just be Exhibit A for the potential pitfalls. It surely ranks among the strangest USMNT games of this century, a watershed moment that paved the way for the gameday experience that younger generations have come to accept as the modern norm.

The next, the complex today known as Stub Hub Center, would not debut until 2003. With a ...

This has me searching for hiding places in my house to watch the game from on Friday. Add to it that Andy Najar is back. The last time the US saw him, he was tearing up the right flank of the US defense in the group stage of the 2015 Gold Cup and looked like the best player on the pitch for the first half of the game. All of this is to say that Honduras is a decent side with some exciting attacking options. They’ll be playing against a team under a new coach under a lot of pressure who is going to be missing some of its best players and for Los Catrachos one point would be an acceptable result. Injuries and questions around the lineup. Four key players are injured. Bobby Wood is hurt, Fabian Johnson is hurt, Jordan Morris is hurt, De Andre Yedlin is hurt. Those are starters for the national team who were replaced by Chris Wondolowski , perhaps by Geoff Cameron being played out of position, Sacha Kljestan , and Graham Zusi.
