This Saturday night we get ninety minutes to forget about Honduras vs. the United States in the political world and watch what the two countries can do on the soccer field. The two teams are playing in the playoffs for the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. There's only a few games left, so the stakes are quite high and it's supposed to be a close one.
When asked who I'm cheering for, I can't deny it, I go for Honduras. Futbol fever grips Honduras on game days like people in the US can't begin to understand. Blue and white jerseys are everywhere. Many banks and grocery stores encourage their employees to wear their jerseys during work. Vendors selling jerseys line the streets of every town for a week or more ahead of big games. It's serious business. Go Honduras!!
