Horrible conditions with a terrible ref is the norm in CONCACAF. It's been that way for decades. This team is supposed to be talented enough and prepared enough to deal with that. They puff out their chests every time they talk about going to Haiti and playing in the intense heat and humidity and gutting out a result last year. But this calm and composed Canadian side we saw throughout World Cup qualifying was nowhere to be found last night.
If you're looking for a positive, the pitch will be nothing like last night in Qatar, and Honduras will be nowhere near the tournament. Hopefully they are able to line up some better friendlies in the September window in Europe...
