Earlier this year I covered a few football matches at the Honda Center, the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifiers. I always like covering soccer because of the action packed nature which bodes well for photos, even if the game ends in a tie. This time I had the privilege to cover the Panama vs Trinidad Tobago and Mexico vs. Honduras matches. With the Olympics going on right now, I don’t think there is a better time to post. Enjoy.
