[Part/Time Supporter]

Claros came on as sub as Honduras beat USA 2-1 in their first game (of ten) in final qualifying group.

There is a typo on the main page of ESPN right now. They think Claros scored the game winner.

It was actually Jerry Bengtson.

Long way to go for a few minutes. But got to say his dedication to his country is exemplary

[allezsauzee]

Good result for Honduras. Maybe we should get a couple of his team mates over here!

I was following the game on the FIFA site and noticed there was no Emilio Izzaguerre or Wilson Palacious (no real attempt to spell the surnames correctly) who are two of their better known players.

If Honduras look like qualifying get him signed up as Rodders loves selling on a World Cup player for profit.

I watched the first half of the game last night on a very good stream, Honduras had some good players, players that would probably enhance our team?

They had a boy up front with dreadlocks who looked a real handful, he looked as if he'd do a good job for us. :greengrin

I have no idea what they would cost, or even if we could afford them though? :dunno:

[carnoustiehibee]

"we all dream of a team of Honduras players" catchy eh!

Get a few others signed up then have a pre season over there. Honduras hibees on tour

[easty]

Fenlon out, Honduras in.

A cunning plan, Baldrick. Would maybe help keep Jorge in Edinburgh too if he had a good mate here. :cb

Jurgen Klinsmann (USA manager) seems to be coming under pressure after this result.

No wonder after these comments:


The team looked unprepared and also seemed mentally frail. Klinsmann tried to address this with crude motivational tactics in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in January. The coach called for a more competitive spirit and questioned what the players had really achieved. "Just because you won a game in the World Cup in the knockout stage, you haven't won anything," Klinsmann said. "[Dempsey] hasn't made ****. You play for Fulham? Yeah, so? Show me you can play for a Champions League team, and then you start on a Champions League team. There is always another level. If you one day reach the highest level then you've got to confirm it, every year."

Oddly, Klinsmann then made an ill-advised foray into history by referencing how he changed German footballing attitudes from defence to attack after the disastrous 2004 European Championship. "We said the only way was we got to attack, we got to go forward," he said. "Maybe it's in our DNA. Maybe it was wrongfully in our DNA in two world wars. Who knows that? I don't know, I was not even born yet."

:Ummm:
