Honduras is in the World Cup

It has been many decades since Honduras has played in the biggest sporting event in the world, the World Cup. The entire nation will be watching the three games that can change it all. I’m assuming that all stores, malls, government offices and small businesses will be closed temporarily during the game days. For one month in Honduras, people of all ages, class, political parties and race will be joining hands to cheer their country on.

If Honduras wins just one game, it will be considered a huge success. If they make it to the second round, it will be considered historical. For such a small and impoverished nation like Honduras, the odds are completely against them. If they make it to the second round, Honduras will most likely face Brazil, the current favorites to win the tournament (in my opinion).

Have you scheduled a World Cup party yet? There is a big one going on at Dupont Circle in DC for the USA-England game this weekend.

Some videos to get you excited about the tournament (I watch them every night before getting tucked in):
