The 2016 Olympic men's soccer tournament has seen a few surprises along the way, but few have been caught off guard by hosts Brazil making it to the semifinal round. What has been something of a surprise, though, is Honduras making it that far, but they've had some incredibly impressive performances along the way.

Honduras utterly outclassed South Korea in their last match, and have been quietly impressive since they first took the field at the start of the tournament. Their style that combines a tactical defensive approach -- using clever positioning and coordinated marking to slow down an attack instead of simply packing the box -- and a lightning-fast counter attack is one that’s been a lot of fun to watch, and one that could give Brazil fits.
But Brazil have finally started looking like the dominant force they’re capable of being, beating Colombia and Denmark by a combined score of 6-0 in their last two matches. They also have yet to give up even one goal in the tournament, so now that they’ve found their scoring form, Neymar and Brazil could be tough to stop, even for a team playing as well as Honduras.
