[edit] 2005-2006 Squad
Why is there 56 players on this roster??? Isn't supppose to be no more than 25 players on a national team?? It looks like an American Football roster. A lot of these names need to go.

i went to Honduras on a service project and i rode the same plane as the honduran national team. it was cool, but then we got to the airport and we were about 17 gringos who left the airport, as 300 football fans watched us in total silence waiting for the national team to come out. it was pretty funny. -Tom
[edit] Brazilian jokes
It would be nice if the article show the newspapers and the tv programs where brazilian players made jokes and fun at Honduras. I´m brazilian and I do not remember any of this things. Digodf 16:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputable "Fact"
I erased this : "Honduras is the only Central American football team to defeat and eliminate Brazil in an important and serious tournament (Copa América 2001 in quarterfinals)." This is highly diputable and can hardly be considered a fact. Mexico has also defeated and eliminated Brazil in a major competition, at least once that I know of (1999 Confederations Cup). Whether or not Mexico is part of Central America is disputable, you could argue that it is as much as that it isn't. The UN classifies Mexico as part of Central America, so that is enough to not be able to make this claim.. ~~Kane 021107~~
- I am sorry but I disagree, Mexico is clearly not a part of Central America, see Central America. Thanks, SqueakBox 06:17, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
SqueakBox please read that entire article, specifically "Usage" where it is clearly stated that the definition of Central America is not finite. The UN and EU disagree in this matter, and frankly I believe that is enough: see United Nations geoscheme. What you are re-inserting is simply not a "fact." ~~Kane 051107~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.214.51 (talk) 02:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Actually now that I noticed, three of those "facts" are simply not facts, since Mexico can also make those claims. ~~Kane 051107~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.214.51 (talk) 02:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- As the article is about Football we should actually use footballing definitions rather than political definitions. Certainly my football country, England, is not a country politically but it is in terms of football. I suspect the footballing world would not define Mexico as a part of Central America but I'll see if I can come up with some references. Thanks, SqueakBox 02:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok then let's use the football definitions which qualify Honduras as part of CONCACAF along with Mexico and the U.S. I am not trying to slight Honduras in any way, they have a football tradition that they should be proud of. I am just trying to get to the best article. I happen to think that Mexico and Honduras are in different regions. But it is too much of a gray area to claim as fact. Let's consider inserting other helpful less disputable bits instead. ~~Kane 051107~~
