The sound of joy
The 24th Minute —
I'm well aware that the Honduran fans in Montreal last September were, well, idiots and that Honduras has managed to break Canuck fans' hearts on more than one occasion (with tactics that are, well, not widely accepted by a typical Canadian sports fan). ...
AUDIO: Honduran Announcers React to Bornstein's late Equalizer
The Footy Blog —
Hat-tip to ESPN's Bill Simmons (via twitter) for the find. This is a Honduran radio announcer calling U.S. defender Jonathan Bornstein's late equalizer against Costa Rica in DC -- a goal that meant Honduras qualified for their first World Cup since 1982. The screams of joy coming from the announcing booth reminded me of the scene in Star Wars where Luke, Leia, Han and Chewy were howling with relief after R2D2 shut the trash compactor down, and C-3PO mistook their celebration for cries of horror. On a separate but somewhat related note, is it sad that I still get a ...

A More Splendid Life —
Poring through the results of the closing stages of World Cup qualifying this past week, I'm almost agog at this cauldron of footballing fury, the extreme highs and crushing lows in the fight for the last few places destined for South Africa. And we haven't even reached Sepp Blatter's Official David and Goliath Playoff Round© yet. ...
Gustavo Johnson calls Honduras soccer game
The Sports Hernia Blog —
Gus-johnson Gustavo Johnson, who is clearly the Latino cousin of Gus Johnson, thankfully had the call last night in the Honduras- El Salvador game and was separately watching when the U.S. tied it against Costa Rica, which put Honduras in the World Cup. We certainly hope to see Gustavo join his cousin for March Madness. Enjoy: "Honduras estamos en el Mundial!!!" "Estamos en Sudafrica! "Que final!"
Honduras is IN the World Cup!
The Slanch Report —
With the US Men’s team tie against Costa Rica it meant that the Honduran team was IN for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The Hondurans haven’t had a successful campaign in the Cup since the 1982 tournament when they battled the host Spaniards to a tie. Because the game was of such importance to the Hondurans, they sent some radio broadcasters to ...
I've Got That Special Feeling
du Nord —
Now that was the best tie I’ve ever watched. Down early 2-0 the US fought back hard to earn a tie in the final seconds of the game, keeping the US at the top of the table and pushing Honduras into the World Cup. Bornstien scores as heard on Honduran radio. Two nations exploded with sound as, Bornstien’s head hit the ball and sent it bouncing into the bottom corner of the net. As the US team celebrated, the large and rancorous crowd ...
I hereby nominate Jonathan Bornstein for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.

Awesome. I can't imagine an American soccer broadcaster approaching even one-tenth of that joy and enthusiasm. Maybe Limarzi on amphetamines?

Hillcrest Road —
That was Honduran radio as the final seconds ticked off the clock in the USA-Costa Rica game. Had Costa Rica won, Honduras would have played Uruguay in a two-game playoff to reach the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Costa Rica didn't win, as you know, and Honduras qualified to the upcoming "Mundial" automatically. ...
The Agony and Ecstasy of El Mundial
The Sporting Blog —
The United States had already qualified for the World Cup before Wednesday's final game in the hexagonal against Costa Rica, so a 95th-minute goal by Jonathan Bornstein to tie the Ticos 2-2 didn't mean much in the grander scheme of things. It meant an awful lot to the folks in attendance and the team because of Charlie Davies's late-night car crash that left another passenger dead and Davies staring at a least a year of rehabilitation before being able to return to the field. It didn't mean much to the country or the USSF. It was just nice to not lose a game. It had the meaning of a Pittsburgh Pirates game.

Weekend Junk Pile: Unadulterated Joy in Honduras, Footballers Drip in Color, and Other Stuff I Couldn’t Pass Up
The Offside —
Weekend Junk Pile: Unadulterated Joy in Honduras, Footballers Drip in Color, and Other Stuff I Couldn’t Pass Up By: Laurie | October 18th, 2009 Here are a few of the things that caught my attention over the past few weeks, none of which was quite enough for a full post. Spotted this over on Kickette and…um… Wow. Words fail. Joy. Pure Joy. There are videos all over the place this week of Hondurans declaring their love for the United States. Why is that? What did the US do? Did they get involved in the coup to stop the political turmoil? Perhaps offer humanitarian aid? Nope. They scored the equalizer against Costa Rica in the 95th minute (!!), thus ...
