At this point, this US team is feeling not only confident, but arrogant. As they should. They are a better side. If they play like they expect to win from the opening whistle, they will do exactly that. |

I keep picking against the US, and they keep grabbing results. So I'm wary of breaking type here. But the head of steam is real, folks. And so is the power of overwhelming home support. You're up, RioT. |

A third consecutive CONCACAF Hex opponent missing key players means a third consecutive Hex win for the USA in June. At 13 points with four matches remaining, Klinsmann can breathe easy for an entire year until Brazil 2014. |

Effectiveness! That’s what this USMNT is all about, and I’m sure they’ll get the three-points needed to continue the road to Brazil. Honduras will be missing key players like Boniek, Bernardez and Bengtson, who led the 2-1 win in San Pedro Sula, plus this group hasn't done well on the road. With Graham Zusi back on track, the US will have plenty of elements in place to take down <em>Los Catrachos</em>. |

The Hondurans, short-handed as they are, really have no choice but to bunker, and they have the personnel to do it well. But it won't be enough. Say it with me, everyone: "Zusi to Altidore, goal!" |

Honduras on the road is a losing proposition so far in the Hex, and that won't change at Rio Tinto. The US boss the game through 75 minutes, but eventually the visitors throw caution to the wind. They have to, right? A late tally aside, it's not nearly enough as Jurgen Klinsmann's side stays atop the six-team CONCACAF battle royal. |

Honduras may offer a slightly stronger caliber of opposition than the US' previous two opponents in this stretch of the Hex, but the Yanks are on a roll and will have a raucous Rio Tinto Stadium behind them. They'll reverse the scoreline from the February loss in San Pedro Sula. |

The US is riding a wave of confidence and Honduras has struggled in road qualifiers. Add in a great home-field advantage for the US at the RioT and several key players missing for Honduras and this game could be a big statement win for the Americans. |

The US have the momentum to begin their scurry to remain atop the Hexagonal standings. Meanwhile, Honduras can't afford to lose this game, which may force them to open up and leave a few spaces open. Space the Yanks will take advantage of. |
