The United States men’s national soccer team can clinch a World Cup berth with a victory against Honduras tonight, but it won’t be easy.
First, it is extremely hot and humid in Central America. Second, Los Catrachos are perfect at home during the past two years of qualifying. Political turmoil in Honduras could also add to the sense of unease.
Estadio Olimpico certainly won’t be empty tonight. A sellout crowd is projected and a total of 1,150 police are expected to be patrolling the stadium’s grounds.
Fulham winger Clint Dempsey will miss the match due to a shoulder injury, and his playing status is still uncertain for the Yanks’ final qualifier against Costa Rica on Wednesday.
The match kicks-off at 10:00 p.m. ET.
