They very rarely speak to the western media, but we bring you a report on one of the most mysterious teams in the world. (More below) Despite the current political crisis in Honduras, there's been celebrations on the streets, after the Central American nation also qualified for the World Cup, in South Africa. Presenter Alan Green speaks to current Honduran international Roger Espinoza, who explains what it means to the people there. As the biggest football tournament ever held in Zimbabwe kicks off - we're in Harare to asses the state of the game in the country and ask if there's any hope of a brighter future?
