All this by way of prelude to displaying my Honduran pride with the national team jersey that my wife purchased for me. You know who has been included as gratuitous cuteness.

Catracho Pride
Hondurans, or catrachos as they self-denominate, love their fútbol. This past week has seen some important games between rival teams in the national league. But there is also considerable pride in la selección or national team. Internationally Honduras is currently ranked 54th though they are 5th in their region (CONCACAF) behind México, USA, Jamaica and Panamá. There is a particularly strong rivalry between Honduras and El Salvador for reasons having more to do with politics than soccer. Qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brasil is underway and Honduras is hopeful to secure a spot though only three from the region are guaranteed spots in the final 32 teams (the fourth place team enters a playoff with a team from another continent for a possible spot).
