Honduras players boycott Louisiana friendly amid farcical pitch conditions

• Squad complain about pitch, transport and accommodation
• Match was scheduled in area with large Honduran population

Honduras's men's football team is at loggerheads with a Louisiana club after its players backed out of a friendly match hours before kickoff, citing poor field conditions.

Honduras had scheduled the match against Barbados as preparation for this summer's Gold Cup, Concacaf's regional championship, which will run from 24 June to 16 July in various US cities.
