How they qualified An away win in Mexico and strong home form secured the third automatic qualifying spot behind Costa Rica and the USA. World Cup high A 1-1 draw against hosts Spain in Valencia in their first ever World Cup finals match in 1982. They drew their second match against Northern Ireland before losing to Yugoslavia. World Cup low Vladimir Petrovic’s 88th-minute penalty for Yugoslavia in that final game in 1982 denied Honduras the glory of a place in the second round and allowed hosts Spain to progress. Familiar faces Maynor Figueroa (Hull), Juan Carlos Garcia (Wigan), Roger Espinoza (Wigan). The manager Luis Fernando Suarez. A more stable figure than his Uruguayan namesake, the Colombian – who led Ecuador to the second round in 2006 before losing to England – has taken Honduras to the finals. Anything else is a bonus. How in danger he is? 2/10 Most likely to light up Brazil ... Carlos Costly will have commentators in a race to the bottom for transfer puns though it is US-born Anderlecht midfielder Andy Najar who may be the one who is in the shop window. Most likely to be sent home in disgrace ... Jerry Bengston left the squad during a run of qualifiers last June. “He is not injured. The issue, frankly, is between Jerry, the Honduran coach and the Honduran federation,” his club said. Bengston returned to the side to score vital goals against Mexico and Costa Rica but it remains an uneasy accord. Title odds: 500/1 The stereotype is ... Win, lose or draw they just want to party, soak up the atmosphere and put themselves in the shop window for a move to Europe. The reality is ... They desperately want to win a game at a World Cup. By any means possible, even nefarious ones. And maybe party a little. What they're known for: Being laid back 40 per cent Coffee 12 per cent Wilson Palacios 22 per cent Macaws 26 per cent How Brazilian are they? Not at all, at least on the basis of their 5-0 defeat to Brazil in Miami last month. How Google translates the national anthem Pigeons waves with their shields, a volcano. Behind the bare summit there is a bright sun shines. How long does it last? Seemingly forever. The Bohemian Rhapsody of national anthems. How to dress like their fans: A penchant for face paint makes many fans look like a cross between the Blue Man Group and Kiss. Commentator's go-to stat They have yet to win a game in six attempts at World Cup finals.

晉級之路 客場戰勝墨西哥以及強大主場優勢下助其獲得小組第三，繼哥斯達黎加、美國之后直接晉級世界杯決賽。 世界杯上的光輝戰績 洪都拉斯隊在1982年首次闖入世界杯，首戰坐鎮主場的西班牙，1比1戰平，第二場比賽又戰平北愛爾蘭，最后一場輸給前南斯拉夫。 世界杯上的低谷時刻 1982年的世界杯決賽上，前南斯拉夫球員弗拉基米爾·彼得洛維奇（Vladimir Petrovic）以第二輪開場88分鐘的點球擊敗了洪都拉斯，東道主西班牙得以進入下一輪比賽。 知名球星 赫爾城：梅諾·菲格羅亞（Maynor Figueroa ） 維岡：胡安·卡洛斯 加西亞（Juan Carlos Garcia ） 維岡：羅杰·埃斯皮諾薩（Roger Espinoza ） 主帥 蘇亞雷斯（Luis Fernando Suarez）在洪都拉斯的教練職位比在起烏拉圭和哥倫比亞任職時期要更加穩固一些。他曾在2006年率領厄瓜多爾闖進第二輪比賽，之后輸給了英格蘭。在本次世界杯，他又帶領洪都拉斯隊闖進決賽。好好犒賞這位主帥是必須的。 下課幾率:2/10 最可能點亮巴西的球星 卡洛斯·科斯特力（Carlos Costly）將會成為許多評論員的重點賞評對象，盡管安德來赫特（Anderlecht ）的美國籍中場隊員安迪·那亞爾（Andy Najar ）有可能成為眾人矚目的焦點。 最可能蒙羞回國的人 杰里·本斯頓（Jerry Bengston）曾在去年六月的預選賽進行期間離隊。他所在的俱樂部方面表示：“本斯頓沒有受傷。問題出在他與洪都拉斯主帥和洪都拉斯足聯之間的爭執上。”雖然本斯頓后來又歸隊參加了與洪都拉斯與墨西哥和哥斯達黎加的比賽，但是問題雙方依然沒有完全講和。 奪冠幾率：500/1 人們印象中的洪都拉斯 輸也好，贏也好，打平手也好，他們只是想要參與其中，享受比賽氛圍，在歐洲賽場上一展風采。 球隊實情 他們渴望在世界杯上贏得比賽。想盡任何辦法，甚至不擇手段。也許就是想參與一下。 標志性元素 落后國家：40% 咖啡：12% 威爾森·帕拉西奧斯（Wilson Palacios ）：22% 金剛鸚鵡：26% 有多少巴西色彩？ 一點都沒有。至少從上個月的邁阿密熱身賽以0比5敗給巴西的成績上看，沒有。 谷歌如何翻譯洪都拉斯國歌 一群鴿子揮動著翅膀，在高高的火山背后，火紅的太陽閃耀著光芒。 國歌時長 似乎永不停息。國歌頗有波西米亞狂想曲風格。 如何扮成洪都拉斯的粉絲 喜歡臉彩的粉絲們看起來像是藍色軍團和吻的結合。 評論員常用的解說詞 他們參與過六次世界杯決賽，但未創下獲勝記錄。
