Tonight's win depended both on Honduras beating El Salvador AND the US beating or tying Costa Rica. Honduras won 1-0 but the US was down 2-1 for most of their game. At the VERY last possible moment, the US scored a goal TYING the game and sending Honduras to the World Cup!!!!!!!!! If only you could hear the cheers and fireworks erupting right now. Honduras is finally united again in celebration. As my friends and I walked home, we were greeted by cheers, shouts of thanks, and declarations of love for the USA. But this was all Honduras. They've earned this victory.
And now Micheletti has declared tomorrow a national holiday so we can all celebrate safely. Beautiful.
(For the record, My heart does still feel for Costa Rica and am hoping they'll pull through against Uruguay. Then life would be absolutely perfect.)
