Photo Gallery Event :: USMNT v. Honduras At Cuatros (01-23-2010)

The Cuatrotron. Don't like the scoreline on the screen.

Me with the beer preparing to salute this fine creation....



....that is the Aztex Amber Ale.

While the match really sucked, at least the beer was good. More malty and little less hoppy but it's definitely strong to my taste in which I like.

Despite the usual crappy CONCACAF refereeing and playing in front of a pro-Honduran crowd at the Honduran Depot Center in L.A., the U.S.'s lack of actuate passing and lack of disciple is more to blame for their performance. As an American fan, seeing their off season and lackadaisical performance is not surprising to me at all. And for me to say that really show the lack of depth in quality players in certain key positions for the U.S. They need to improved these situations before the World Cup otherwise having the likes of Algeria "somewhat" upsetting Ivory Coast, England and Slovenia would put the U.S.'s chances into making into the second round in jeopardy.
