YEEEAAAA!!!!! Honduras beat Mexico tonight 1 - 0 in the world cup qualifier game. Honduras is going crazy. They have been talking about the game for last two weeks. All this week they have been selling flags, jerseys, and other items at all the stop lights in San Pedro Sula and El Progreso. We bought a flag today ($2.50) and put it on our truck while we were driving around El Progreso.
After we got back to Faith Home we went to the boys transition house (where the all the teenage boys live) to the give them the flag for tonight's game. Alan (one of the two brothers that plays for the professional team in San Pedro Sula - they play for something similar to a minor league team that feeds into the major league team) tells us that he is going to the game and will get to be one of the ball boys during the game. The Dog! We expressed to him how much we didn't like him anymore and he just laughed.
Soccer may not be that big, on a national level, in the States but here it is huge. Saul told us earlier today that if Honduras wins tonight the fast food restaurants will being having buy one combo and get one combo free tomorrow. Might have to investigate that.
