U.S.-Honduras Saturday Gameday
As of Friday about 13,000 tickets - about 75 percent of them purchased by Hondurans - had been sold for tonight's 6 o'clock friendly (live on Fox Soccer Channel) at Home Depot Center in Carson between the U.S. and the Central American nation.
A large walk-up crowd is expected so officials are urging fans to get there early. Especially more Americans.
Still, that means U.S. defender Jonathan Bornstein, right, should have plenty of fans on hand, as colleague Phil Collin points out.
I plan to blog from the game, so if you can't be at the game check back this evening for updates.
