Being a small Central American country, Honduras knew the Olympic tournament was going to be difficult. But after upsetting Mexico in the CONCACAF qualification tournament, they would’ve hoped things went a little better than they did.
Three games. Three losses.
Fives goals against. Zero goals for.
Of course, they did face a tough group, consisting of Italy, Cameroon, and South Korea. All in all, the Honduran team left China on Thursday feeling like the experience wasn’t a waste. Which makes sense, since this was only their second Olympic qualification; the full side has advanced to the World Cup finals only once, in 1982 in Spain, where they managed two draws but did not escape the group.
