"It's home and away so we have to take advantage of the home leg," he added. Those sentiments were echoed by Alberth Elis, the Houston Dynamos forward who will miss the first game through suspension. "We have to be convincing here, and build up a good advantage to take that big step towards the World Cup." Honduras face the Socceroos in Friday night's first leg, then both countries take the long flight down under for the return match next Wednesday. The Central American side qualified by finishing fourth in the CONCACAF region, while Australia squeezed through after beating Syria.
