YouTube - USA - Honduras 3-2 All Goals & Highlights
Last night's game was one of the most entertaining to watch I've ever seen the USA play. We went into Honduras, a country which has been torn by political strife but remains united behind its national soccer team, and came from behind to beat a team which had won every single game at home thus far in World Cup qualifying. Landon Donovan showed extremely good leadership on the field and was largely responsible for the second of Conor Kasey's (who?) two goals a few minutes before netting one of his own. The referee tried to fuck us by first awarding the questionable free kick which led to Honduras' first goal and then by not making the INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS offside call on their second but the boys showed that they can overcome the odds.
It's been awhile since I was so proud of the team and this was a damned impressive win. Coming from behind away from home in such a hostile environment is NOT an easy thing to do. Now, thankfully, we can place our attention on next summer in South Africa and finding a way to fix our atrocious midfield.
