Hear from the guys about being down 2 - 0 at the half.

Can’t even imagine what these guys have been going through or the ups and downs over the last week and a half.

The US tied Costa Rica 2-2 at RFK Stadium in Washington DC last night, to clinch first place in the CONCACAF group and bring an emotional end to the US team’s 2010 World Cup Qualifying Cycle.

It’s been a long time since Honduras has qualified for a World Cup, and for a country as passionate about soccer as Honduras is, tonight was a pretty special night for the country. A last minute equalizer from the US ensured a Honduran World Cup birth, and as you can tell at the end of this video, Hondurans kind of love the USA right now.

Much respect and thanks.

Been a rough 24+ hours for everyone…. But during the 9th minute of tonight’s World Cup Qualifier between the United States and Costa Rica, step up and represent the way Chuck D9 would.

Our thoughts here at BP_TOW are with all those involved.
