So, what other stadiums are out there that would be free on the 10th of October? There should be quite a few NFL stadiums out there that would be free with their home team away that weekend. Would just depend on them not having anything like a consert going on.

Oh please god tell me that there's a Ricky Martin Concert there the 10th!!!!!! :eek:

Well, I would think that moving the game to the US would be their last option - I doubt they want to give up home field. I would guess that neighboring countries would be the top picks.

Still, the US's 10/14 game is set for RFK. RFK is also open on 10/10. :D

The Hondurans had a pretty good showing attendance-wise for the Gold Cup game against the US at RFK back in July...

If the game is moved, FIFA’s first option would most likely be another nation in Central America, perhaps Guatemala. There is also the possibility of moving the game to a city in the United States while still considering it a home game and gate for the Honduran federation.

Honduras enjoyed wide support in Chicago in June for a qualifying match against the United States. But that option seems less likely now than playing in another Central American nation.

There is a precedent for moving a qualifying match. In December 1996, the Americans played Guatemala in El Salvador, switching to a neutral site after a stadium stampede two months earlier in Guatemala City led to 84 deaths.

Grant Wahl of SI is saying the game will most likely stay in Honduras as long as the airports are open, quoting a CONCACAF official.

A key indicator will be if the scheduled CONCACAF champions league games are moved in the next few days.

Have the airports re-opened yet?

There's got to be some sort of contingency in place, nevertheless.

Jey DeMerit may miss the next qualifiers. He hurt himself taking out a contact lens.

"Scar tissue is starting to develop which is blurring my vision so I'm seeing a specialist and I might have to have surgery," continued DeMerit. "I quickly recovered from my groin injury but my eye is going to take time."

Sounds pretty serious. I hope he makes a full recovery, not just for the sake of the USMNT but also for the sake of his quality of life post-soccer.

Yeah, I didn't mean to downplay the seriousness of the issue/injury, but the context was just too funny to pass up.

Oh, yeah, it absolutely goes on the list of funny sports injuries.

Also not good today? US U-20's.

Or England U-20's. Its ridiculous that welbeck, wilshire, and others weren't allowed to participate.

As far as the worst today, that most definitely was Nani. It was like he was trying to blow the game for United. They probably should investigate him to make sure he doesn't have some sort of gambling problem, i'm not sure how he could've been any ****** worse.

Looks like 2022 is a fight between us and the Aussies. We clearly have the "better" bid, but our recent hosting and the Asian TV market definitley cut against us.

Well, 1994 won't be all that recent by the time 2022 rolls around. Even still, the World Cup will have been in Australia's Confederation (2002) more recently than it's been with CONCACAF.

This made my day. Muck Fexico.

I've been saying for a while that 2018 will be Europe (and it SHOULD be England but TBA convinced me that FIFA will foolishly pick somewhere else) and that 2022 will be USA vs. Australia. I do like those odds.

For anyone interested, the US-Cameroon U-20 World Cup Group Stage game is on ESPN2 right now.

0-0 in the 15'

Germany and South Korea tied earlier today, so a win by the US today, puts them into good position to advance to the knockout stage.

Good stuff. My friend's little brother's friend plays on the U-20 team, so I'm moderately interested due to my 3 degrees fo separation.
