A few hours until the decisive meeting in between Honduras vs. United States for the ticket to the Tokyo Olympics, the former American soccer player Herculez Gomez ignited controversy by ensuring that the Bicolor qualified for the semi-finals of the Pre-Olympic accidentally”.
“Honduras has a team full of players who are active in the Honduran league, while Canada has only players in the MLS and a few who are part of the basic forces of the old continent, but nothing major,” Gómez began to explain in ESPN Sports
And he added, “What happens is that in the first game, Honduras had the advantage of facing a Haiti that had a covid outbreak, they arrived with 10 players and a footballer who is not a goalkeeper. , he had to ask for gloves to play. They had that An accident we suddenly see in Concacaf and they scored one goal more than Canada. That’s why they go (to the semi-finals) for goal difference, but if you ask me based on team, line by line, talent, I see more elements to do “damage” in Canada than in Honduras. “
For the former footballer, the most important game for the United States in the first round was “against Costa Rica”, in which he called “the ugly group”.
In addition, he assured that the North Americans have a large number of footballers in Europe who could not participate in the tournament and that the players have just started their pre-season with the clubs.
“We see the players from Honduras, and with all due respect, they all play in the local league, when we are going to say that the Honduran league or MLS is stronger, that the Honduras national team or the United States is stronger in their history. age limit we have to go to the United States. “
At the end of the lecture, journalist Andrés Agulla said the Bicolor could compete with the United States for the hierarchy of players and the Fabián Coito trial.
“It’s a well-functioning team that doesn’t expose the talent like the United States. Coito has developed an idea and therefore I think it can compete with the United States,” Argulla concluded.
