Honduras' second entry into the World Cup finals was positive despite the fact they recorded just one point.
The Central American nation failed to score but they did not fail to show strength and character in all three matches and the fact they conceded on just three occasions against the likes of Spain, Chile and Swizterland is testament to their mental application.
Alright, the point of football is to score but when you go into every match as the underdog, you have to find other ways to scrap for points and that is what the Hondurans did.
They will definitely not lose any friends after their performance in South Africa as they were not expected to do much in the first place.
Finished: 30th Record: Wins - 0; Draws - 1; Losses - 2; Points - 1 Matches: Chile (0-1), Spain (0-2), Switzerland (0-0) Goals: 0 Against: 3
