Watch out for this Honduras player:

For this match, the player to watch will be the right midfielder: "Choco" Lozano, who is one of the most fundamental pieces of his lesson and was of great help to try to get the qualifying ticket to the Copa America in the last phase for his national team, now, he has the opportunity to weigh more and show why he is one of the most unbalanced players in the CONCACAF area.

We must keep refining ourselves!

On the other hand, unlike Honduras, El Salvador never had a chance in the Nations League to qualify for the finals and compete for a spot in the next edition of the Copa América. However, the Salvadoran national team did not waste any time, as in their most recent match, they faced none other than the World Champions, Argentina. For El Salvador, this game was of vital importance as they were able to measure themselves against the current world champions. Although the game ended 3-0 in favor of Argentina, it served the CONCACAF squad to continue preparing for the June FIFA date when they will kick off the World Cup 2026 qualifiers by facing Puerto Rico and Saint Vincent."

March 25, 2024 5:15 PM ET

They fell just short!

Honduras faced Costa Rica last Saturday at the Toyota Stadium for the last remaining spot to access the 2024 Copa América after Mexico eliminated them in the CONCACAF Nations League Quarterfinals. The match started with the Honduran team fighting for every ball, not giving up on any play and showing plenty of offensive proposals. This effort resulted in them taking the lead just 15 minutes into the game. However, what seemed to be a celebratory afternoon for Honduras turned into a nightmare as Costa Rica found the equalizing goal just 2 minutes after conceding the 1-1 goal. Gradually, the Costa Ricans took control of the game, eventually turning the scoreline around to a decisive 3-1 victory that sealed the definitive elimination of the Honduran team. Now, Honduras must prepare to face the World Cup qualifiers towards the next World Cup in a final hexagonal stage that will not include Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

March 25, 2024 5:10 PM ET

The FIFA date

The FIFA date has arrived once again, bringing with it all the international excitement that comes whenever it arrives, putting the different national teams of the world against each other to vie for victory on the football field. This allows them to measure themselves against different opponents from around the globe, continuing to grow collectively and globally with a football without borders. Likewise, national teams should take advantage of this break in leagues around the world to continue with their national projects, as the summer filled with international football is gradually approaching. Therefore, national teams must work on refining aspects of their game to arrive at each of these competitions in their best form.
