Barring some sort of miracle, a trip down to San Pedro Sula will once again be where Canada's chances of qualifying for a FIFA World Cup went to die. Today's 2-1 loss to Honduras has Canada's qualification campaign on thin ice, and it may be all but a formality before it shatters underneath them.
Something about that stadium, perhaps the heat, the intimidating crowd, the terrible pitch conditions or a combination of all of these elements is kryptonite for the Canadian men's national team.
