The United States Men’s soccer team is on the verge of punching their ticket to the World Cup. A win over Honduras on October 10 at the Estadio Olimpico in San Pedro Sula, Honduras will clinch the United States’ berth for South Africa 2010.

The US sits on top of the CONCACAF qualifying group, but the top four teams are seperated by just four points. The teams that finish in the top three will automatically qualify for the World Cup, while fourth place will have to win a qualifying game against the team that finishes fifth in the CONMEBOL (South America).
