San Pedro Sula setting toughest part of Mexico trip

The biggest obstacle facing the Mexican national team isn't Tuesday's opponent, Honduras, but the atmosphere at Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano, writes Jon Arnold.

Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio's deubt was a rollicking success. Things now get tougher, with El Tri heading to Honduras to face San Pedro Sula.

There, at 3 p.m. local time, Osorio will oversee his second match as a national team manager, and it should provide a more accurate picture of the challenges he will face guiding Mexico through the CONCACAF region.

It's not necessarily the Honduran team itself Osorio should fear.
