We went to a World Cup qualifying match in San Pedro Sula on Saturday - Honduras vs. Trinidad & Tobago. I have to admit - the game was a lot of fun, but waiting to go through the gate into the stadium was not. The crowd was so tight and so impatient. They had their hands in our pockets and wherever else they felt like putting them. They were pushing and shoving and yelling. The pressure I felt from the pushing could have easily caused an injury, but I walked away only having had a panic attack.
Apparently there was an error, and each ticket was printed twice. The police were present with pressured water and tear gas, and tickets weren't even being checked at the door.
I don't want to give the impression that I had an awful weekend. I had a great time in San Pedro, but I would never want to go through that again.
