Final Roster for the 2 Upcoming Games

Professor Rueda has given the final call up’s for the upcoming games against Trinidad and Tobago in San Pedro Sula, Honduras and against Mexico at Mexico City, Mexico.

The game against Trinidad and Tobago is Saturday, September the 5th at el Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano where Honduras will continue claiming respect at home.

The next match is days later, Wednesday September the 9th at the famous Estadio Azteca where Honduras is going to go after the Aztecazo.

The new roster showed up some new call ups, that of Edgar Alvarez (Bari, Italy) and Jerry Palacios (Marathon, Honduras). Edgar has been called up after all the turmoil that happened a couple of months ago, he is now ready to defend his colors. Jerry Palacios on the other side has demonstrated his potential and desire of being called up for the Seleccion. He demonstrated with sacrifice and most importantly with goals that he deserves to be called upon. He is currently the top scorer in Honduran soccer.

Finally the person that has been unheard of for a couple of months, is now back and ready to score a couple of goals with “La H.” That is none other than David Suazo. Although he hasnt had much minutes of play, Rueda includes him in the squad because he’s a man to always be aware off. Hopefully we can see him at his best on the 2 upcoming games.

Rumors place David Suazo and Carlos Pavon up front. Talk about some experienced attackers just like some years ago. Carlo Costly, Osman Chavez and Wilson Palacios are going to miss the game against Trinidad and Tobago because of bookings.

Predictions:
I am afraid of the home game against Trinidad and Tobago. They are considered a weak team but Honduras always end up giving away easy points againt these teams because of their overconfidence. We havent seen much of that since Rueda came so hopefully it does not happen on Saturday. If thats not the case, I predict a solid victory for our team.

Mexico on the other side is obviously a tougher team and also its an away game at non other than el Azteca. I don’t see us as bringing the 3 points home but I do believe in miracles. Scratching off 1 point would be like a victory. So I predict and hope we tie that game. After that, we can pretty much be talking about our possibilities for going to the world cup.

What do ya’ll predict about the games? What about the starting XI?
