Maynor Figueroa retires from international competition
Honduras played at Australia, Wednesday night, with a ticket to the World Cup on the line. It was a very physical match, that saw Australia punch their ticket with a 3-1 victory.
It was a bitter loss for Maynor Figueroa and his team mates, and the Honduras Captian had some harsh words for the officials, after they awarded Australia 2 penalty kicks:
“Until that first goal we were having a good game, (But) that second goal the referee gifted it to them — that is very obvious to the whole world.”
“I only have words of gratitude and praise for my colleagues, but to the referee; no one is going to save himself from divine justice, if he is cashing a cheque for this, nobody will be saved.”
