There’s an Iwelumo joke somewhere in that Scotland story, I’m sure.
When can we laugh again?
From Wahl’s interview with Micheletti:
“We still remember our national team from 1982, and we Hondurans all live with the dream of returning to the World Cup. Let’s hope that God gives us the opportunity to achieve this goal, which we’d do by beating the Gringos and the Salvadorans [on Wednesday].”
Someone’s picking up on my efforts to christen the USMNT the Gringos.
