Baygo, first, I appreciate your sense of humor and I am glad you realized that I meant no malice. Having said that, you forgot that when Beenie took over the team we had won one game and lost three, games and were at the bottom of the six-team table. After he took over we only two games and won all the others. He had to get the team to gel and play his style and believe in his strategy. The team he used was very different to the one started by Bertille St. Clair. Angus Eve who scored in the first game against the US was never used by Beenie. Latapy was used strategically, not every minute, every game. He switched goalkeeper to Kelvin Jack and brought in Birchall as a defensive midfielder. He used Yorke in the defense and not as a striker. He used Cornell Glen's speed as a strategic forward to keep defenses honest. These are some of the subtle changes that Beenie adopted. Don't forget he had the guts to leave Latas off the field in Bahrain correctly recognizing that because of his age he was more useful in short intervals. He molded a team that was more like a collection of great players before he came and detected the leadership qualities of Yorke. He rightly kept Marvin off and used Sancho to great effect because he was faster, and fitter and is a great tackler. The defense was remarkably changed under Beenie. They played that way. Beenie deserves his due. Why didn't anyone else do it for 50 years?
