ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Eddie Johnson keeps raising his price. Johnson scored late in the first half for his seventh goal in six games with the national team, and the United States beat Honduras 1-0 Saturday in the Americans' final tuneup before next weekend's World Cup qualifier at Mexico.
Goalkeeper Kevin Hartman preserved the shutout when he smothered a kick from Wilmer Velasquez from in front of the goal in the 88th minute.
The United States, 3-0 this year, extended its unbeaten streak to 16 games since a 1-0 loss at the Netherlands on Feb. 18, 2004. The Americans are unbeaten in 31 games against teams in soccer's North and Central American and Caribbean region since a 2-0 loss at Costa Rica on Sept. 5, 2001.
