In more great news, the 2009 — 2010 hockey season has been cancelled.
President Obama has been awarded the Stanley Cup :-)

I wonder how many Americans would recognize that you’re referring to soccer.

Isn’t it “San Pedro Sula” rather than “San Pedro Sulas”?
Thanks for the post, though.

Honduran loss:
A shame our state department blew a golden opportunity like this to re-install El Jeffe.

Hearty congratulations on the U.S.A.‘s sixth straight World Cup qualification (including 1994’s automatic qualification as host nation). What a difference from the old days, when the U.S.A. hardly ever qualified (1930 and 1950 excepted). It is a tremendous achievement.
My first international match was the U.S.A.‘s 8–1 loss to England in 1959 at the old Wrigley Field baseball park in Los Angeles, later the home of the Los Angeles Angeles when they first joined the American League). For you real football fans, here is the way the Los Angeles Times covered that 50-year-old match. The U.S.A. would never get that kind of one-sided drubbing today.

“Important”?
Maybe “Mildly Interesting”. Well, not really.

Real football? You mean sissy-style rugby, where the players strap on 40 pounds of protective gear and overdose on steroids to play?

I’m sure that the State Department will refuse to accept the validity of the match results until Zelaya is restored to power.

Rugby fact: it’s not legal to tackle like they do in football. Apparently they’re afraid of ruptured spleens or something.
But I’m sure all the rugby players are clean.
And you don’t even have the excuse of being European, making that comment.

I read that Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated went to Honduras early to cover the pre-match atmosphere and got robbed at gunpoint on Friday. The Honduran interim president, Micheletti, telephoned him to apologize.

Personally, I prefer soccer, rugby, or Australian Rules football to American football. American football is basically a team gladitorial competition. The best part is the lack of timeouts and commercial interruptions during matches.

Is “European” supposed to be an insult? Is that like “gay”?

Reading the title of the post, I thought the Hondurans had recovered some of their constitutional rights.

Touchy? No, it’s because it’s always Europeans who are grossly ignorant of American football who make these comments. Americans tend to be aware of things like the horrible health effects football has on the athletes who play it and are quite aware that they’re more suicidally masculine than wimpy.

The [edit: reasonable] argument against American football is that it turns brains to mush, not that they wear too many pads

Touchy? No, just didn’t get your point.
I agree with this, though I think a good part of the problem can be attributed to the steroid and amphetamine use — the collisions are much more violent.
