futbol!!!


last night was one to remember! honduras clinched the world cup qualifications for the first time in 28 years. it's beautiful how it happened!

honduras vs. el salavador - 7pm
usa vs. costa rica - 7pm

honduras HAD to win.
usa HAD to at least tie.
in order for honduras to qualify.

honduras won 1-0.
usa is losing 1-2 with 17 seconds left. then......GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL USA!

honduras does its part, and the usa helps!!!

gustavo FREAKS OUT!!!

gustavo's brother and family celebrate in tegucigalpa.

i think jessica said it best: those few moments of justice, message from above and testament to the human spirit. this is beautiful!!!

It also speaks to the American mindset. It's definitely a country of winners. I watched that entire game and can say the US never gave up. They played for 96 minutes never giving up.
