The U.S. clinched a berth to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa with a thrilling 3-2 victory against Honduras in San Pedro Sula. After a scoreless first half, both teams turned up their attack to score five second half goals, with a brace from Conor Casey and a game-winning free kick from Landon Donovan paving the way for the Americans.
The U.S. team returns from Honduras to face Costa Rica at RFK Stadium on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. with first place in CONCACAF qualifying on the line. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and Galavision. To finish first in the group, the U.S. needs to maintain its one-point lead in the standings ahead of Mexico, who travels to Trinidad & Tobago.
