AMAZING - from Honduran radio





The USA had already qualified for South Africa 2010, and could have just let this game go...but then we never would have gotten the pure joy sports can bring to a nation.  Honduras needed a USA win or tie to move on to the WC for the first time since 1982, and with 7 seconds remaining in stoppage time, Jonathan Bornstein headed home the equalizer to send Costa Rica into the dreaded CONCACAF/South America playoff and Honduras on to the promised land.  The pure overwhelming relief/joy heard in their voices will surely choke you up.  Even if you don't speak Spanish.  BTW, Honduras, in honor of making its first WC since 1982, declared Thursday a national holiday to continue its celebration...I long for the day the US cares that much about anything collectively, especially soccer......
