Canada huffed and puffed, but was unable to blow the Honduran house down.
A helter-skelter and naive approach to the opening 45 minutes coupled with Honduras’ greater sense of nous throughout, ensured Les Rouges wouldn’t open their qualification campaign in the octagonal with a win.
They looked enthusiastic but disorganized throughout the opening 45, so much so it was difficult to understand the game-plan or roles required of certain players, particularly Buchanan and Laryea and the by-passed midfield.
At times it looked not much more than a case of give it to Fonsie, let him weave his magic and we’ll be ok.
