Honduras is much better than El Salvador.

Except it will be much different.

There is nothing that Honduras has that should prevent the USA from playing how they want to

Honduras did beat the US in the hex. It's not a walkover. That's all we're saying.

Also due to the location, I would expect the bulk of the crowd to be Honduran.

This.

You can't say it will turn out the same when we are playing a better side in Honduras. If we can muster up a 5-1 win against Honduras that will be impressive. If we can muster up the same amount of attack and good chances on goal as we did against El Salvador I will be stunned.

You know Honduras will parking the bus.

Exactly.

El Salvador played a little more aggressively than I thought they would. Especially after the penalty. I think this helped the offensive onslaught a bit. I expect Honduras to play the old CONCACAF counter attack offense.

We have shown the ability to speed up play even in a "parked bus" scenario.

Not even remotely close to the same teams. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think anyone brought in more than one or two if their "A" team players. The USA now has 5 that have started multiple games with the "A" team or will start in Brazil.

This. Teams can only bunker for so long. We get that first one and the flood gates will open again

You act as if it is a forgone conclusion. Don't take this the wrong way, but how long have you been watching the US play CONCACAF competition?

I guess I'll throw out the same. El Salvador beat Honduras in this Gold Cup 2-0. That's a much more logical argument than comparing the two Hex teams

I think out of their two best players one is hurt and the other suspended. I would imagine Honduras would be bringing the best team they could other than that, but I could be wrong.

About 15 years. For the first time, I'm actually confident under JK that those days are gone

Ok, I'll go from "forgone conclusion" to "I'll be very surprised if Honduras can give the USA much of a fight based on how the last two weeks have gone"

Better?
