Within hours for the decisive match between Honduras Vs. United States for the ticket to the Tokyo Olympics, the former American footballer Herculez Gómez ignited controversy by ensuring the Bicolor qualified for the semifinals of the pre-Olympic by “accident.”
“Honduras has a team full of players who play in the Honduran league, while Canada with pure players in MLS and the occasional one that is in the basic forces of the old continent, but nothing important,” began Gomez. a ESPN Sports.
And he added: “What happens is that Honduras in the first game had the benefit of facing a Haiti that had a covid outbreak, they came with 10 players and with a footballer who is not a goalkeeper had to ask They had this accident that we suddenly see in CONCACAF and they scored one more goal than Canada, so they go (to the semifinals) for the goal difference, but if you ask me depending on the team, line for line, of talent, I see more elements to do “harm” in Canada than in Honduras. “
For the former footballer the most important match for the United States in the first round was “against Costa Rica” which he called “the ugly group”.
He also said that the Americans have a lot of militant footballers in Europe who could not be in the tournament and that the players have just started pre-season with the clubs.
“We see the Honduran players, and with all due respect, they all play in the local league, if we are to say that the Honduran league or MLS is stronger, that the Honduras or the United States team is stronger in their age limit history, we have to go to the United States. “
On the end of the conversation, journalist Andrés Agulla said that Bicolor can compete in the United States for the hierarchy of players and the process of Fabián Coit.
“It’s a well-crafted team that doesn’t have the talent on display like the United States. Coit has developed an idea and around that I think it can compete with the United States,” Argulla concluded.
