Back with more, because it's just oh so fun.
Since I posted the last installment, a few more foreign-language (i.e. Spanish generally) stories have come out on tonight's World Cup qualifier down in Costa Rica.
And away we go...
First, a nice write up on the match from Terra.com, which I assume is out of Mexico. Again, their projected lineup has Guzan in goal, a guess that just seems odd to me. Not only is Howard the solidified number one keeper on the US roster, but he's a bit of a big deal across the pond. Obviously English soccer doesn't show up on the radar of most of these writers. I can understand that, I guess, but all they really need to do to check the reports from previous US hexagonal matches to know that Howard is the only choice.
Add to the mistaken inclusion of Guzan the names Pearce, Califf, and Kjlestan, and it seems that the giants of CONCACAF aren't as well known as we might want to believe. Doesn't bother me in the slightest, but it is interesting to note.
Our second selection, an article from Honduran site Diez, doesn't have much in the way of new information, and there are no odd lineup projections; instead, it's notable simply for the comments. Something gets lost in the translation, but the Hondurans (presumably) there go back and forth between supporting the Americans or the Costa Ricans.
That's it for now; the well seems to have run dry. Back shortly with my outlook on the game.
