Honduras and Stoke City midfielder Wilson Palacios says his side want to set an example to their homeland in the World Cup.
The 29-year-old also had praise for Tigers boss Steve Bruce, who took him on-loan at Birmingham in 2007.
"We know that Honduras is a poor country, but we want to give an example to children that they can do better and have the dream of going to a World Cup. I hope we can inspire," Palacios said.
"Steve Bruce, he's like my father. I could never speak badly of England, I can only say wonderful things."
