It is a national day of celebration here after Honduras beat Mexico last night here in San Pedro Sula to advance to the next round in the World Cup soccer qualifications. Soccer is the national obsession here. The weather has been terrible all week, rainy and cold, but thousands of people were in the stadium all day. It is general admision so the earlier they get there the better seats they get. The traffic was a nightmare all day also. In the end, Honduras beat Mexico 1-0 to finish in first place in their group of four and advance to the next round of 6 teams, which includes the U.S. Now I am the enemy for the kids when it comes to football.
