Honduras, in search of their first win.

ThisDrinkingLife and The World Cup: Honduras

Honduras for me were the worst team in the last world cup. They appeared lethargic and it seemed they had no idea what they were meant to be doing on the pitch. So imagine my surprise when I see they have only gone and qualified for another world cup. Well done to the manager, Luis Fernando Suárez on that front.

It’s not that they don’t have some talent in their squad, they do. Wilson Palacios is one of their key players, a player who has donned the shirts of a few English clubs at this stage. Quick and a good passer, on his day he can cause problems.

The coach has also worked wonders before in the world cup. He took Ecuador unexpectedly into the second round in the 2006 world cup, so he is a man who can oversee a shock.

But the overall depth of the squad is short, and I don’t think they will give Switzerland or France too many problems. Despite Switzerland making a pigs ear of trying to beat them in the last world cup.

I feel their world cup adventure will boil down to the game against Ecuador in a third place group decider. A draw perhaps?

At the end of all this Honduras might still be searching for that elusive first world cup win. Honduras to go home early, again.
