USA v Honduras

9:07 CR - Team USA is at the stadium early. Match starts at 11 CR time.  Honduras is also undefeated and has been running up the scores on their matches (9-0 & 13-0)! But our keeper, RJ, is spot on, so I have faith! It'll be a tough match, but our boys are ready! Levi got some much needed rest yesterday and will be getting a massage before the match. We're fairly positive he'll be ready to play today.  Stay tuned for match updates.
