The Canadians are not ready to give up on their World Cup dreams, despite heavy odds stacked against them following Friday's 2-1 loss in Honduras.

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — There’s still life, but only just, for Canada’s men’s national team.

After taking the lead in the 35th minute through Manjrekar James, Canada conceded on both sides of halftime and lost 2-1 to Honduras at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano.

The result sees Canada drop three points back of Honduras for the second qualifying spot for the six-team final round — the "Hex" — and perhaps more importantly, five goals back on goal difference.
