How about a yellow Ref?

Great free kick from Mooy.
Save from the Honduran keeper.

Tense.

I have an English speaking Honduran leaning Hispanic sports TV.

They love mixing their sports idioms.

Very tense affair.

1 goal will decide this, if not pens.

Had me in tears watching the TV. Remembering being in the stadium back in 2005 against Uruguay. Very emotional.

Sainsbury is an absolute gun.

Should be playing for a very good club (I knows he’s on loan to Inter but he’s not playing).

The Beard was fantastic over the last two legs.

Honduras were woeful though. All of Thailand, UAE and Syria tested us more than this mob.

In Ange we trust. I chuckled at his comment about not being accepted because he didn't have a Socceroo career. Aimed squarely at Bosnich, Slater, Foster and maybe Kosmina. Hope (and expect) that he will continue on to the WC.

Loved his comment about getting good grass roots support (contrasted to the self important commentators).

Even tonight Fox commentary saying how Asia is an easier route to the WC. Sure. 22 games against the best in Asia, compared to a walk in the park in Oceania then just two hard games against intercontintal opposition. Unbelievable downplaying of what Ange has achieved.

You're kidding!?!

I watched the game on some Honduran Sports TV channel in English and they just lavished praise on Ange, the squad and their achievements.
