Well I was thinking that Beenie like to keep faith in his people so the Scotland thing catch me offguard, but I feel that's because Jones coming off the injury and Beenie probably sees Honduras as the weakest team in the group(although I feel that is wrong as Colombia send a weak team and I still doh rate Panama). With that thinking, he will probably start Samuel on the left, especially cause edwards out and the rest of the midfield was not doing much attacking in the last few games for us.

I haven't read anywhere where Beenie admitted Birchall wasn't a natural ball winner. If he did say that though, i would not be surprised to see Spann and Whitley in the middle with Birchall on the right, especially cause he give Spann the #10(although rahim had it for the other games and bench anyway).Theobald will get the nod on the right cause Beenie was willing to start him on the left, despite no great displays in the warmup games, even tho he has no left foot and is a centre mid. That sounds like he was trying to find a spot for him. And he obviously see something in Whitley to have him starting over Theobald and Rahim in the middle in all the games he's been in charge of so far, so i don't see him benching him jus so at this point. Besides, Whitley only going to get better with more games at this level...
