WHEN FOOTBALL STARTED A 100 HOUR WAR

⚽ When Stones Spark Wars: The Unholy Rivalry Unveiled 🌐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

In the tumultuous landscape of football, where passion often dances with madness, there are rivalries, and then there are sagas that defy comprehension. The tale of Honduras versus El Salvador in 1969 belongs to the latter category—a narrative that transcends the boundaries of sport, delving into the realm of geopolitical chaos. As the stones collided with the hotel windows of the El Salvadoran national team, little did anyone fathom the impending cataclysm, where football would become a mere footnote in a story of war, despair, and unintended consequences.

🪨 The Fateful Night: Stones, Sleep, and a Rivalry Awoken 💤🏹

It started innocently enough, as many infamous stories often do. Honduran fans, fuelled by an ardent desire to unsettle their rivals, hatched a plan to disturb the sleep of the El Salvadoran team before the crucial match. Stones rained down on the hotel windows, a prelude to the tempest that would follow. The hope, perhaps, was to gain a psychological edge on the pitch, a tactic as old as the game itself. Little did they know that their stones would become the first pebbles in an avalanche of consequences.
