U.S. 0 Honduras 3
Oh, dear.
An intricate three-man move inside the U.S. penalty box was finished off by the Kansas City Wizards' Roger Espinoza in the 53rd minute to give the Hondurans a comfortable three-goal cushion.
Robbie Rogers blasted a 35- to 40-yard shot off the Honduran post out of nowhere a couple of minutes before that, but he's about the only U.S. player with his shooting boots on: Sacha Kljestan and Kyle Beckerman have both shot high over the bar with ghastly efforts.
