It will be interesting to see what type of strategy the Canadians use on Tuesday. Honduras is going to be coming at them guns blazing. If Canada sits back and plays for a tie they are going to be in trouble IMO.

If I were Canada, I'd sleep and change on the plane. I am guessing Canada's hotel will have issues with running water and electricity the night before and the team bus will have 4 flats when they wake up in the morning. Then, same issues in the stadium dressing room. Get on the field, and 11 man Honduras and the man in black, to beat or at least draw.
That said, all in front of them. Honduras, as hostile and inconvenient as it may be, isn't anywhere near going to be the pressure of going into Azteca next round, or is the team anywhere near the same as a team like Mexico, so may as well get used to getting a result on the road against a beatable team. Destiny in their own hands, which is all you can ask.
Get through this, and I believe the pressure is off the country will pay closer attention, and I think they magically make a run and get in to Brazil 2014, as I stated here last year.
