Do we know if this game will be a full house or reduced capacity or even no fans?

The ref will be Daneon Parchment

He was the ref for our stoppage time loss to Mexico at the Gold Cup this past summer and our 2-0 win against the Yanks in October 2019.

I like this. The Honduran players will not be able to speak spanish to him, while Doneil will be dishing out some patois. Too bad Junior won't be there

Interesting that the VAR ref is from CONMEBOL and will be doing both Honduran home games.

If I remember correctly he reffed that match pretty well. My only gripe was not dishing out more cards during the little scuffles (namely when MAK had a hand around his throat from Herrera(?) just before their first penalty), but that was probably more on the VAR ref than on him

The penalty was soft.

According to Wheeler probably Monday

found myself watching the highlights of Canada’s last away trip to Honduras.  That James goal has to be one of my top 10 favourite Canada goals.  On the flip side, the Elis/Quioto link up on goal two was impressive. Henry just outrun on that one.

Just watching that pisses me off.  Fuck I can’t stand that team and those horns going off in the stadium are infuriating. God I hope we smoke them on Thursday

Obligatory FH. We better smash them on Thursday.

For me, beating Honduras in Honduras will be sweeter than beating the USA at home.

Yes! Beating Honduras down there would be a thing of beauty.

The goal we gave up right before half was the killer - was a pretty weak effort and we seemed to have nothing left after that. Honduras destroyed us in the second half - could have easily added another 2-3 goals

i remember watching that game...  for a moment there was hope and real belief, which then turned into sadness and frustration  😔

we've sure come a long way.  time to write some new history on thursday.

 

[Ally McCoist]

Since we're sharing previous Honduras vs Canada games.  

  A win on Thursday in SPS will slay this memory.

[dyslexic nam]

There should be a ban on posting links to that game. 
 

No offence. 

[Bison44]

I didnt even get past the second goal on that video.  Anyone still complaining about Wheeler better listen to that performance by that announcer.  It makes my blood boil what is it 8 years later??   Grr......I want Henry to be in this lineup just to do a bodycheck like he did against Mexico...set the tone right off the bat.

Same with me, only it was the third goal where i stopped.  What struck me more now than when I watched the game at the time,  was the lack of effort.  In some cases, i see guys jogging when they should be running.   As I type this,  i am finding myself looking for the match summary of that game to match up the numbers on the jerseys to names.  That's because there were some numbers that really stood out for their lack of effort and minimal commitment.

Then why did they play? All the team could not of been ill. Even if he played non regular starters how much worse would the result have been?
